Just wondering if anyone here has made the servo buddy for the 10, as seen on ZX10R. net.

And how they found it to work.

About time i got rid of it the motor, looks way simple to do.

Cheers

been to jaycar, got parts, under 10 bucks, so in process of making my own, see how it works????????

I did it a couple of weeks ago, just used the existing wires on the servo motor, made the circuit, and plonked it in some surfboard repair resin in a little mold (little plastic bottle cut length ways so I ended up with a flat edge), let it set, taped it up glued velcro to the back and put it in the tray, took maybe an hour including letting the resin set, and works great, no FI light, and put the PC111 where the servo was.

sounds good jokes aside, if need or want one, piss easy to do. as said, parts at jaycar,$1.60. beats payin a 100 bucks, hell i just bought a near new tyre for that, and was done in half an hour...

Got a parts list?

ducati_paul wrote:Got a parts list?

1 resistor... 220-ohm- half watt
1 resistor...4.7 ohm- half watt
1 electrolytic capactor 470 uf-16 watt

Thats it, parts from jaycar, $1.60.. dick smith, useless.

I would post up a pik, but havent really tried, marty showed me a while ago, but forgot, and run a different program..
If ur interested, go to zx10r. net. i just googled it and it went to zx10r.net anyway. read it, way simple, its all there, only thing to be sure of, is the capactor only runs one way.
Soldered it up, tried on the 10, all good, than encased in resin, which i had anyway..

Cheers

So you used your original plugs?

yep, take off servo motor, i cut wires halfway along, between plugs and motor, in case it didnt work, that way i could resolder wires. so no cutting of harness, dont like doing that.

Glad it went well and no problems, it's a really easy little mod, and frees up some space

cheers mate, yep very simple and cheap, allways good to do things urself. dont know what weight the motor is, but good to finally get rid of it.couldnd beleave how cheap it was.

Yeah I built mine from the ZX10.Net diagram it's been running for 1 Year+ & about 10,000km's with no issues so far.
