I set my new slip on and pipe it very quick response but smooth and still loud like standard muffler.

Thanks for the photos of the horn and bash plate setup.

I like the idea of getting the hot lead from the starter solenoid.

Remove both saddles
Remove right (black) plastic cover which flows into the fuel tank shroud
Remove the bolt holding the ignition coil, and move the ignition coil out of the way
Blow out spark plug hole with compressed air
Remove original Denso spark plug
Install NGK CR7E spark plug
Replace the ignition coil in its original location
Replace right (black) plastic cover which flows into the fuel tank shroud
Install both saddles

My RX3 runs great with the NGK CR7E spark plug, and it no longer stalls while coasting to a stop. :tup:

Spud, just wanted to say that this tip of yours is an absolute "must" and to add , make a really good visual inspection afterwards to make sure its all clear.

A while back when doing my plug, I had a couple bits of gravel jamed low down between the plug and the plug recess. you can guess where they were going to go if i hadn't spotted them prior to removing the plug.

Just a note, in order to power this (and other stuff to come later) I installed a fuze block.

right now the horn is not switched. I still need to determine the best way to get a switched power lead (normally I use the tail light). At some later date I will add wiring for heated gear. FWIW, I'm pulling my + from the starter solenoid connection. That saves me from having a rats nest of connection on the battery.

Dan, thanks for that link to your write-up. It seems we are of a like mind with this 'letric stuff. After reading your account I'm still not sure where you got the switched power for your relay. Normally I'd go for something like the tail light. I just have not dug that deeply into the wiring harness yet. BTW, under that plastic tray and near the back of the cavity there is a blanked off electrical connector. This sucker looks like it has 8 or 10 leads going into one side, nothing on the other side. Any idea what this is for? It might be just what I need for switched power.

The green oval is a fuse holder. The small black wire coming to the bottom is a switched +12V. I used this for the relay signal. I used a small Posi-Tap PTA2022

I'd like to try the Posi-tap connectors sometime. :) Where does one get the best price for this product, including delivery costs?
