I'd been waiting to race at Hampton Downs for quite a while now, especially as I've done a few laps on it at track days. Unfortunately things didn't go quite as we wanted for a number of reasons. I picked up Michael (one of the guys I work with) at 6:30am as he had volunteered to help me out in the pits for the day. He'd never done anything like it before but has always been interested in motor sport. After a nice quiet drive to Hampton Downs we arrived ...

I have had the engine running on an RGV250K CDI module but it had a miss which I suspect is the timing advance built into the CDI. As the RD400 didn't have an advance curve I decided to try the simplest CDI I could find - Jaycars kit KC5466.

A friend of mine tried a trick of putting one wire to earth and got 20VAC ...
Well, after 6100km of happy riding, Cindi has decided that she needs a new set of shoes and daddy needs to do the shopping for her! The BT015 Battleax she originally had was a good tyre, but obviously being of a soft disposition, it was put to the test and found slightly wanting in terms of life. So ... time to try something else new! So off to Drury Performance Tyres to see Mike about solving this little dilemma. The good man has a set of Pirelli Angels ST on the shelves ...
I want one! (the bike, that is)
Does anyone have a good idea of how many k's I should be getting out of a tank of 95octane? I am just running a DR-Z 250 on the road - tank size 10.5litre. I've been filling up at around 200km just to be safe but was wondering how much more I should have left in it.
Can anyone tell me of a genuine mechanic etc, I need to get a bike checked over I'm looking at purchasing. It's in Whangarei.
