bolero
the reluctance by the tre and tnt to fire is mainly due to the thin wire of the battery loom fitted as standard, its about half as thick as the wire i had on my VTR, ,this thin wire has to much internal resistance, hence the poor starting and slow charging, Eugenia (errol) has a web site, (I dont have the link on me at present, I'm at uni, will post ASAP) where he added in another positive and negative wire of about 6mm diameter, So as Eugenia and other have done is they have two wires running to the stater motor and Eugenia runs another negative to a bolt on the rear of the engine, effectively this doubles the cross sectional size of the wire, apparently the bike starts much easier with this modification. The reason you cant just fit the whole battery loom with one thicker wire is the space behind the battery were the battery cables run wont allow it is because there isnt enough room for one big thick cacle, so you have to run two, I hope you understand, hopefully someone can post some pictures and the link again.
With the two wire you end up with two eyelets on the terminal of the battery, so you should have to get to slightly lonber bolts for the battery, as the stock ones are a little bit to short. I will do this mod as soon as i get the time, but everyone who has done it reports much improved starting. I seriously hope the bigger 1130cc Tornado's have thicker cables as standard
