i'm riding a 2017 bike like this and i just removed that 12 hole plate actually increasing the volume of the air box , it makes sense since accumulating more air in the box and thus better performance, and you took it and vice versa reduced it the volume of the air box actually made worse than it was originally. removing just that baffle makes the bike ride noticeably better.

Hi there, well, i was lucky - i found an entire clutch assembly on ebay so just popped the whole lot in, job done. One of the lads on the UK Z forum found out the hard way and in turn, become and expert on the subject....i think there is a difference - which year do you have as that will depend on what parts you need....you can use some parts from your existing clutch...register on the forum - there is a thread in there created by the other lad.... forum is here... z1000uk.proboards.com/

Feels like it....brother came round with the dev board last week.....half of his problem was using an actual unit to code the app on. All the units we had were hand made. No offence to the guy that built them up but it looks like because the design is so compact they will have to be built by machine. Every time he though he had a coding problem half the time it was the hardware - the dev board is massive compared to the final unit but it serves a purpose for getting the app complete. I have to fix my tablet then he'll send over the app (as far as its completed) then ill do a vid but theres no gui at the moment...well, there is but its very basic. He was over my house yesterday and said that he's fighting against the android operating system....even the simplest of things are a fight to complete.....for example, just to get the light to remember the last setting it was on took him weeks to get right. As ive said time and time again, he has a normal job but works for himself so he has to give priority to earning money to live. He's spent literally hundreds of hours developing it off of his own back. sorry about the wait.

@@CM-ke3vt Yep....its kinda a sideline project - as ive said before its something he does when hes got some spare time - he works for himself so his primary job has to be his number one priority as thats what puts food on the table. Looking back one of the things that was our mistake was using an actual unit as a dev board - everything is packed on there so tightly there were hardware issues which he thought were software issues that slowed everything down....alot! - so we have a dev board each - he was over just before xmas (lives about an hour away) to grab my board and do a few firmware updates to it. I believe 90% of his time is now getting the front end ready (the 10% for the odd few firmware updates) - the other thing was the original batch of units were hand made - whereas moving forward when its complete we`ll have them manufactured by machine....i wont say its almost ready due to the time its taken already but you can see from above how far its come....

Its one of those "its almost finished" things....software is done. The hardware has had to go through a bit of a redesign. The reason being that the tracks connecting the leds were so close together they were becoming unreliable. My brother (who is doing the work) has had a special dev board built (a completely different shape) for testing and developing the software further. I think from what he last told me the resdesigned board is ready to go to fabrication (or may even be there)....ill check and get back to you on here....ironically when he was over last week without me saying anything (i try not to stress him about it) he did say " ill finish this thing if it fucking kills me....!"
