Now they look like KTM gears... Once again I suspect you have come up with a cunning solution.

VMCC round 5. 20th September. Manfield.

Hi all, at the last VIC Club committee meeting we discussed how we might get some more numbers in the development class (150cc street stocks, 250 production, minilites and development) the development class is open for F4 - moto4.
The club has offered a discounted rate for anyone wanting to attend the last round and support the junior class.
This is only for the development class....
$50 entry (half price), transponder hire and MNZ day licence if required.
The GPR lads are fronting up.
If your interested give me a yell.
Entries close Friday.

If your worried about gearing, my FXR ran 15-47 and was about right at the last trackday.
I know this is the day before the enduro, but it would be great to have some extra riders out there with the juniors.

[F5 Dave]

To humiliate them? Yes you are right, that is good for character of the youth.

Well they aren't going to learn race craft riding around by themselves...

And there is plenty to learn off old heads.

Things will be better once we can get some bucket racing happening up here and we can redirect the youth into that....

[F5 Dave]

What about building character! A stint in the army that's what they need. Maybe an unnecessary war to get the juices flowing.

Sounds like a hoot. From what I have seen there are a couple that will be hard to catch. Also that bucket Lap record is sitting ripe for the taking.

[chrisc]

Keeeen as hell. Will try get my shit together for this. Anyone else from dorkland going to go down?

Make a weekend of it Chris. Take Monday off and spend Sunday in welly and do the enduro meeting... PM me if you want more info.

[koba]

I'd need a chain conversion to run tall enough gearing, which needs a wheel conversion.
Otherwise I'd be tapped out on all but the hairpin.

It's just too much work right now.

Thats a bugger. you can't just go to a 17 on the front?

Well we managed 5 possibly 8, so its not too bad given what's involved & short time etc...

At least its some more riders out in the class to make it enjoyable (and thats what is important)...:niceone:

Nah, can get to 15 with the current 425 setup.
I can get fronts to 17 in 420 but will get them cut down to 415 to run RS rear.

Doesn't sound like much but it's quite a bit of work with my resources, main pain point it the brake mount for the RS rim needs to be a bit tricky.

I see...
And I can't offer anything else to help out. Don't have much 428 (425?) stuff.

I've searched fairly extensively and have found that is basically my only off-the-shelf option.
I've started work on it but other parts of the bike have taken priority, like getting more power spread.

Well, We are up 6 riders confirmed and a few more considering it. Choice!!

[mr bucketracer]

is the mb the same spine as a rs125 ? back killing me but the ktm engine is time in and mostly together , need some one to show me how to wire the ignteck in

Its fairly straight forward, send us a pm on what you are connecting and I'll mark up a wiring diagram for you.

Well it's going to a great turnout for the last meeting of the year for VMCC.
Even better is the numbers now for the development class: 16 riders...

While 20 would have been better, 16 is better than 8. So everyone should enjoy it..

Now Scott can you find me my missing 5hp before the weekend??? Or am I still not allowed it back???

[Pumba]

Now Scott can you find me my missing 5hp before the weekend??? Or am I still not allowed it back???

If he finds it are you actually going to twist the throttle and use it though?

[Bert]

:lol: yea yea.

Just remember where you finished in the GP...

But valid question, depends on the day.

Maybe you need to bring it south..
It was a shame as you were going very well on the old girl.

[mr bucketracer]

Now Scott can you find me my missing 5hp before the weekend??? Or am I still not allowed it back???thats 21 hp more than i have at the moment

[Henk]

Pull the going engine out of the sidecar in the meantime, or better yet fix the sidecar.

They are going to be a very good bucket engine. 30hp all day long.

[F5 Dave]

one can imagine. They'll still sound 'orrible though huh?

22 odd (GPR dyno) without too much tweeking.. Which is bloody good off the bat. Took over a year to get the FXR engines to that.. So Scott is a very happy man.

So Scott is a very happy man.over 25 now , the air screw right in goes way better so saying it wants more fuel , got to go through the maps again now and work out how to give it gas

[Bert]

Bloody good on you mate.
Well worth the large number of hours spent on designing and building it up.
Not an easy task by all accounts...

Well done having the first KTM duke 150 up and running.


Well all we need now is Regans two stroke running and GPR is ready for the new season...

[seymour14]

I better pull finger...

[TZ350]

over 25 now

25 and going up............. NOooooo :facepalm: ....

[mr bucketracer]

26hp now , had it for the night .drinky time lol

[TZ350]

26 ............ :crazy:

That raises a good point what carb is that a FCR?

[husaberg]

Go to the NSR site it has a lot of info including the fuel curves I think.

thanks husa well worth a look

It shows the circuit it looks like you can choke the air bleed with a insert or jet, or increase the taper on the end of the screw
I added them as an attachment in the last post.

you would have to put bigger pilot jet in, wont matter what you do to the screw once its closed, you cant get it any more closed, despite the efforts of many before you

[mr bucketracer]

[richban]

thanks for the back up was thinking that in my sleep lol

It will be interesting to see if you can hit 30 with that size carb. I am going for a 34-35mm on my bucket. I know the FXR head I have will flow enough air for 35hp at the moment its close to 27. And the KTM i was building was going to be 38mm injected. Can you go bigger. I know you have my old NSR carbs they can be bored out quite a bit.

We all know the DynoJet dynos read a little bit optimistic but reasonably consistent between different DynoJet dynos. I had the impression the Team GPR dyno was more straight up. Does anyone have a feeling for how the GPR dyno compares to the Dynojet we use?

Is that still stock valves?

[mr bucketracer]

Is that still stock valves?yes , i want to get another engine and go big

you do realise you've built a BEARS bike, and can use Methanol if you,for example, entered it in BEARS at wanganui....or Greymouth....

just saying......

[mr bucketracer]

you do realise you've built a BEARS bike, and can use Methanol if you,for example, entered it in BEARS at wanganui....or Greymouth....

just saying......thanks did not think of that, i should try set a carb on Methanol for it.. bears bucket i like that lol

[Bert]

So after our little session with the high school kids the other weekend, a plan is being hatched.

Two of the rolling FXR frames (sitting out back after engines being removed), have been supplied for the high school to start building up some 150s (longchins) and their top students will have a play early next year.
We will give them hand sorting out engines and helping get excited about racing...

Kerry is digging out so old Honda go fast grind
Scott will be doing some engine and frame love.
And we will work on some physics and maths looking at exhaust design and carb performance etc. and the cool thing is that it can all go to the kids NCAs...

We got to see first hand that there are a few riders with potential waiting to get out there.

Yip, you probably missed it. But at the track on Saturday they were buzzing about it and even when I got them up in the commentary booth they talked about the experience as well...

Paying it forward!!!

We managed to get a great deal at the Blackball, so because other family are coming, we all set up base there. We will get in contact (firstly at the BOB?), and work out a time to cruise over and sort that frame.

No worries, bring the CNC as well would ya.

Ps you seem to have quite a few bikes now, you don't have a factory rider position open at all?

What do you think Regan is? Not like he owns or works on the bikes he rides at least the way he tells it.

Had one of those days Brent, had heaps and heaps of work on, then a co-worker gave me his homie to do, then another one, and then a third one. I exploded and told them they were all a bunch of useless fucks and that if they were so talentless that they could not do it for themselves, they know where they could shove their homies. Bloody modern talk it up engineer wannabes!!!!

So I think they realize now I will be helping none of them from this point on.

However, on a good note, Scott has welded on the fins, I have tidied them up, we are almost ready to press in a first sleeve.

Now I have got rid of the turdbuglars who are getting me to make pitiful crap, it is time to soar again. I now realize how Ernest Rutherford must have felt...:msn-wink:

That will pretty much kick them all in the nuts me thinks.:laugh:

Nice one. I am now getting a little more excited about getting the FXR running. You will be able to stop for a cup of tea in the GP with that power.

What a brilliant telly program. However I tried to watch it recently and some terrible shmeltss had taken it's place. Conspiracy!

[Bert]

Right enough of how you lot spend your time, when you could be doing productive stuff.


Check out this

Here in lies the challenge. There are some talented kids involved with these projects (mostly MX background); how do we get them involved and continue their interest in road racing.

[F5 Dave]

It's bad enough having over talented fearless kids on little bikes wizzing past you at trail rides, why do we want them doing the same at buckets? Talk about bubble bursting.

I wasn't holding or limiting the conversation to buckets Dave.

[F5 Dave]

Great so now there's other things for them to be better at? Good stretch in the army, that's what they need.

[Bert]

Ok, I'll a little confused with your views Dave.

but not to take what you write seriously::laugh:

Should we restrict racing to an old man's sport - to help inflate egos.
What's the starting point for an old man 30,35,40,45?
Should we also consider age bracket racing, so the older old men don't feel bad about the younger old men beating them...
I don't consider myself an old man (though feel it some days)...


Anyway...
I'm really excited about what the Highschools are offering up here as part of the minimoto challenge.
The mere fact that these kids are actually doing it themselves is great.
Maybe its paternalness starting to show... We got a real buzz working with them.
Even taking some annual leave to go along and help out during the event.

Looking forward to next years' 150cc advance project...

Now we're talking Bert, nothing like abit of government funding to get the sidecar class booming! Maybe all based around 150 loncins.... Or the old fxrs will dry up real quick.
Good on you guys for giving theses young ones a look in to the sport! There needs to be more of this if you ask me.

No,no I can't take any credit for this...
All the hard work has been done at the school level.

We (us and some other members of VMCC) are just trying to hop on board (help out where we can) and to see how we can involve them further, as it's a shame to see it all end at their GP..

150 longchins or XL, GNs what ever is def the way forward.
Even scooter engines.. gY6 might be the go.
Has to be cheap....

Getting involved will hopefully help us get racing sorted out up here.

The idea that is being floated (around several interested parties).
Manfield back circuit, now the long awaited separation as occurred.
Buckets - f4
Sidecars mix of F4 (for the fat men) and mini for the lite weights.
Mini Motards and mini bikes.
And hopefully big Motards.

Maybe not every month and critical not to clash with Wellington or local MX.

Just got my KTM fired up. Its in a less state of tune than Scott but dose have programmable ignition and injection. Cant figer out how to upload a picture at the moment. Will be interesting what sort of power it puts out. Its running on the bench. I made plates to mount into my bike month ago. Reluctant to immobilize it at moment!

You do end up with a few more wires than your average CB100 bucket racer. My twin has even more though I have taken off the Lambda sensor & gauge for this weekend.

Nice looking engine. Far better starting point than the FXR but I'd imagine they may cost a "bit" more. Tuning the FI is a pain but only due to the number of options and tunable points in the tables.

I would hate to know for sure. I am thinking in the realms of 200 hours. If you count drawing as well (and drinking...)

Would be confident in knocking the whole thing out in a week if I had to do it again. Big difference in prototyping vs doing many of.

But I will take a break before considering another!

That is nothing less than a piece of art. Who cares what it puts out. Well done I say.

So is that the rumoured new trophy for the first non Hoogie?

Nope , there were 2 other non Hoogies ahead of Scott

2nd place went to pensioner Hank Randle

And the winner of the 2014 BOB is Lewis Dray from Ashvegas

Hoogos are in Aussie

It is easier to say where the first Honda finished , 6th Brendan Booth

[Yow Ling]

What lap did F5Dave break down on?

F5Dave Won the prestigous Cams F4 cup, but it was more than the poor Honda could stand , it broke down at about 1/2 race distance, there were a couple , or at least one stink wheel running near the back

Great work Scotty.

That's a great start to the South Island tour.
Hopefully he can carry on at Greymouth.

Look forward to seeing the photos.

And at least Dave managed to pick up something.

Those southerners look fast on that big track.... Need to get some practice in on back track manfeild for next year (god.. Already thinking about next bob!)

Mr bucketracer reckoned he needed an extra race to get up to speed before bob. But not bad all the same. Now here in blackball getting pissed on the homebrew. Good on ya rossi, ya bloody beauty.

Fuel tap/fuel line/tank breather size....small tracks don't show that up like a nice long straight.
Also possible that the accelerator pump bleeds fuel till it's supply circuit is empty then the mixture would lean out....again wouldn't show up on a short track or an acceleration run on a dyno.

Check fuel flow into a container for at least a couple of minutes - if it's adequate, go richer on the main....

Ok will cheak fuel flow, was trying to pump more fuel in it through the pumper l did put I bigger jet in it but seemed the same was wonding if the needle was restricting it , hope greymouth wont worry it to much

[Bert]

Well it turns out Scotty has been bloody busy.

Leading up to BOB. Three motors and another frame..
.304355

Blue frames for the next couple of months.

Designated as GPR013.

If you almost got to the hairpin before trouble, you'll be fine on greymouth.
Float needle won't be on it's seat anyway - Greymouth is bumpy....

[richban]

My bike was dieing at the end of the strates and feeling like it was sezing as im on I computer that hard to use can someone work out why crf150 pumper carb would lean out down a long strate

With my FCR I found it was pushing way to much fuel through the pump and lean as on the main. I ditched the pump for small tracks, even big tracks like manfield were a pain to get it working right. Where is the clip on the needle?

[Yow Ling]

We have had similar problems with the OKOs running out of fuel at the end of the main straight or coming up to the hairpin. our fix was make sure you had long main jets not the button ones and try and get the carb a bit more level,

[mr bucketracer]

With my FCR I found it was pushing way to much fuel through the pump and lean as on the main. I ditched the pump for small tracks, even big tracks like manfield were a pain to get it working right. Where is the clip on the needle?the needle up to the top was wondering if it shound be ground down the end , it has a 122 jet in it

Waiting to see footage from David Bain's rear camera (if it was turned on), in the early laps of the BoB Gav, him and me were changing places a fair bit. Not too bad considering I still have no rear wheel grip, latest opinion is that my rear shock lacks some mysterious thing called dampening...
It springs up real good if you push down on the seat, it nearly lifts the rear wheel off the ground,,:eek5::(...it'll do for Greymouth though.

You fella's been to the Monteiths Brewery yet? If you are in town on Thursday, I go for a beer a 4:30.

Something for future consideration.

Honda GROM (MSX125) rear shock absorber, type is S36PC.
S36 = 36mm piston and high rigidity aluminum cylinder, P = piggyback reservoir tank, C = compression (pressure side) damping force adjustment with, shock total length 244mm, 40mm stroke

Very close to a FXR rear shock....

Race 3. Same again. Bridesmaid to Dennis. But great showing by the sounds of it...

Kerry. Two sevenths and a fifth on Scott's old FXR framed bike.

Great effort boys, did the team proud, potty the rest of us couldn't make it down.

Great Effort. I am determined to get to to BOB and Greymouth next year, these and the GP at Tokoroa and endurance race at Kaitoki have to be the premier races of the year.

Pretty amazing times there , you and Dennis would have been in top 5 in P82

GPR engines 1st and 2nd. Good work

[seymour14]

Got back at 1am last night (this morning to be more correct...), am tired but happy.

Great 10 days, compliments to the organizers and personnel that make all this great racing happen, BOB and Greymouth were both a real blast. Quite different races but well worth the effort.

"Formerly the Blackball Hilton" put us up for the latter half, and "Digger" took us panning for gold, we divided the specs and will be cashing up soon...

I got some footage, but I think my tail camera got a little damp in the Greymouth races, so probably nothing from there, will check today. Positive I got all my BOB's effort though. Will shorten up to the best bits and do a highlights package. Scotty got most of everything, will check on his footage today. May take me a few days to sort it all out though.

On a personal note, I rode in at 1am to see that my favourite Blue Atlas tree had been felled in my absence by wifey, I knew she was up to this, so grew a protest beard to scare her off. On a positive note, she did sand and paint the bedroom... the beard may come off soon.

Photos and videos to come, let me wake up first. :drinknsin

Nice one dude! Better save some much needed coin quickly...

Here's that first race again, this time looking back at a wet Greymouth. Getting wetter as the race goes on!

100 pages in two and bit years.
Make time for a review?

2010-2012
Shit too long ago, will have to look back..
Dyno built.
And we saw the two GPRs on track and VFR400 & IMD250 started.
Regan came 5th at the GP, I limped around...


2013
Regan won North Islands (massive battle with Rick)
Scotty came third
Regan third in NZGP
Scotty burgled formula Tokoroa.
First trip down to BOB to show off the GPRs to the southern boys (home with tails between legs).
Scotty achieved a solid 23hp out of the FXR
Four more engine built to match and the customer orders started
Roll out of the yellow GPRs.

2014
The super trailer built.
One bike stolen...
Regan third in NZGP again and won North Islands.
Scotty third in North Islands.
I finished the GP..:innocent: first time in over a decade.
Scotty finished 3rd in BOB and second in Greymouth.
Kerry finished 5th in Greymouth.

Newly built FXR now pulls a solid 2# lots...

Quite a lot of reward for the effort put in primarily by Scott.
During this time, none of the GPR150s have destroyed themselves.

And it's been a bloody hoot, roll on summer and the North Islands.

[Grumph]

Well done....Carry on.

[mr bucketracer]

And some action shots...


Here you go. Again, you're looking through lots of rain so the quality isn't the best.
This is the only race and the only place I took pics of the buckets so they're all similar. Plenty of pics of other classes at other spots around the track.

Quite cool that they sand blast all the road markings (white and yellow lines) pre-event to ensure some grip in case of rain.

It took a couple of laps to get happy with, but was grippier then I expected. Watch those canaries fly!:shifty:

Would have been quite cool to hear the commentary...
Current Superbike champ, up and coming young start (racing overseas), plenty of experienced riders...... Who's this fat canary leading.....:corn:

[F5 Dave]

Indeed something to be proud of

[seymour14]

Last of Scott's Greymouth vids. Got the one view only of the third race.

Congrats guys, all that hard work has raised the bar to another level, looking forward to more of the same .

Congrats guys, all that hard work has raised the bar to another level, looking forward to more of the same .thanks rick , for the first time i was not lossing much or anything in a straight line to the lighter riders , was all about getting around the track fast . think the fxr tuning has hit its peck apart from a leaning of promblem on big tracks ( maybe a fuel pump with the type carb i'm running will work ? ) see you at the north island racing

mikuni does a fuel pump that works off intake vacuum, That works with gravity feed float carbs.

[speedpro]

Got a very tidy unit on my scooter. Lifts fuel from the tank under the floor boards to the carb, runs off intake vacuum
