Hello everyone, bet you all thought I died or something! I had the honor of helping John Pellan of Fast-Trak Promotions put on an ATVA Maxxis GNC TT Race here if Fort Dodge. All I can say is that I have a renewed respect for promoters!

Anyway the purpose of thethis post is that I am going to Canada on a three week business trip and while I am there I want to get my hands on one of those mysterious black boxes for the Kaw 650. I understand they are only available in Canada. If any of you fellow Canadian riders know where I might be able to get a hold of one please e-mail me and let me know. Thanks.

P.S. My son is doing better and should be out of the hospital sometime in mid-August. My family and I truely appreciate all the e-mails and prayers.

 

What is this Black box and is it the same thing DiamondGracing is rying to develope???[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

The black box is the computer box that controls all of the vitals and what the engine does. It retards or advances the timing etc... I overheard at the show in Indy that riders in Canada are replacing their black boxes with aftermarket ones and experiencing a tremendous improvement in performance. Maybe it's a hoax but I sure would like to get my hands on one if it's not.

 

Let me know if you find out if it is mith or true. U have to love how the goverment decides what is good for us![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

 

Oldman, 1bearman at DiamondG has been telling us about his CDI developments. He says timing improvments give the 650 gobs more low end and high end. I think we (on this forum) all told him we were ok with the 93 octane requirement. The CDI work has been done for a while, I think manufacturing may have been delayed for two other products that DiamondG is selling.

I get all excited just thinkin about the CDI and I wish he would hurry it up. I have had the cash for a CDI stashed under my keyboard for a long time.

 

Thanks, I'll call him right away.

 

All this talk makes me happy

 

LOL...I thought I was the only one that had butterflies thinking about this...

 

I called Bearman for info on his CDI. Sounds like the answer. I did end up ordering his snorkle set up and will replace my current arrangment with his product.

 

Did he say when we could order the CDI?
