Team GPR

[mr bucketracer]

Choice. That's a good result. Alway though that thing would produce good numbers.

Yes it could be the CDI box, I've got another one sitting here if you want to have a play? I think it's off a SP but would need to check serial numbers...
Or maybe time to try an ignitech on it.ignitech would be the best but maybe the sp would work better as whats there?, i think all the plugs are cut off witch is a pain

[Bert]

ignitech would be the best but maybe the sp would work better as whats there?, i think all the plugs are cut off witch is a pain

I think I have the entire loom, I'd avoid cutting the CDI plus off and deal to the other half...
I'm back now :) happy new year.

Working on the video, should have it up tonight. Cos its high def, I need to put it through two converters to get it into a format where it does not blip and fart and jump all over the place. Think I might be successful in my latest attempt.

You need to watch the last 10 seconds of this video Will. I think you know whats coming...:lol:

And where were you?

[seymour14]

Bought a little CB 350 four, was waiting for it to turn up on the Friday, Biketranz fluffed up and it came Monday instead.

However, went for a ride on the Sunday on my SV400 with the Classic bike boys for their annual barbecue of the season.

Having drink therapy at the moment so should get back into Buckets soon, when I have dissolved enough of my memory braincells.:apint:

Raggedy Anne vs Steady Eddie :laugh:
The power advantage finally outweighed my lack of finesse. (Regans big look over the wrong shoulder may have also played a part). Funny thing was that I thought I'd clear off when I passed Regan, managed one fast lap then found I was spent. Was very, very lucky to beat him (and Will) across the line. Time to work on the fitness.
Pulled the bike down on the weekend. Piston has melted on the exhaust side, colour in the header pipe was almost white so I'm guessing it developed an airleak because there was no way it was that lean :no:. Jetting hasn't been touched since last years GP. Oh well new piston was overdue for install, this one has a ceramic coated crown to further aid in cooling.
See you lot at the GP.

Jack-Russell and Alsatians breeding program. Must find the photo...

Back to my home brew vs. North Island performance parallels.

Round 1.
The TOK ale. Full body, good colouring but failed to really fizz. Has potential but really was lacking under pressure. More more sips the worse it got. Suitable for a quick taste but not for a session. Could be summed up as a drain cleaner - bottom of the heap.
- R1 results: mid pack qualifying, good starts but went backwards every race.

Round 2.
The TAM pils. All a bit confused, good colour and some pop, but failed to hold fizz for the duration. Had people guessing what it really was. Potential shown and far better than round one. Interesting hop combinations.
Inconsistent across bottle and still not flash. Sprint yes session no....
- R2 results: mid pack qualifying, good start and during the sprint races held position to finish mid pack. Race3, couldn't hold position over the duration of the race...

Round 3.
The EDGE - IPA. (Three weeks in the bottle - so still at little premature to make a full judgement).
----Well, I had a private tasting session last night. Tasty, good colour & head retention, slightly explosive hoppy-ness and seems that it could easily go the distance. Consistent through multiple bottles.
Pleasant aftertaste leaving one wanting more... Four 750's later I was on my ass giggling like a school girl, thus the hydrometer didn't lie (high % alcohol)..

So I'll be looking forward to the trip north for round three. :)

Round 4 is in the fermenter now. The UNKNOWN - APA....

[TALLIS]

This maybe the result? What other things have been made in that she'd of yours by stacking things on top of each other?? :lol:

Now you can do some real funk exhaust system.

Did you happen to weigh them both??

Gearing up for the winter series....

V4 400cc RS125.... Choice!!

[mr bucketracer]

think we weighed it months ago and was 1.5kg heaver than the rs , its made it easyer to get the exhaust out the back

How is the 550 coming on?

[Grumph]

When Honda changed the RVF to a single sider, they picked up an easy 4 HP by being able to use round tubing in the headers. Hence the RC30 was always a single sider.
Having once done a 4:2:1 pipe for a VF400F frankly I don't see this being a lot easier unless there's more room between the front of the arm and the motor than I think...the footrests are right where you'd want to put the junction of the rear headers.

[mr bucketracer]

How is the 550 coming on?every time i start it which is on the hard side it has white smoke coming out the back cylinder , think it may have a water leak , so going to remove both heads and copper ring them , apart from that it would be 2 days work to finsh it

Why would a different swingarm have anything to do with the headers being made of round tube or something else?

[koba]

Why would a different swingarm have anything to do with the headers being made of round tube or something else?

There isn't much room in behind a V4, the single sider evidently made things roomier.

[Grumph]

Why would a different swingarm have anything to do with the headers being made of round tube or something else?

More room - with the "conventional" arm they had to use ovaled tube to clear things. Have a look at a pic of an RC30 to see what i mean. The rear headers actually run beside the linkage in the space the RHS arm would occupy.

Dad goes out in the last B-Grade race of the day, and we think it broke a cam chain. Good thing the mule had done most of the day at that point...

it did seem like the dice were loaded for the 4 strokes :brick: I'm just glad I did my stint on the mule without it spitting me off! I think I'll be ordering a box of camel balls for tokoroa

[chrisc]

You'll enjoy this Chris!

Fuck yes I enjoyed that! You can tell how hard I'm trying in that video. I had the red mist down all day but it was for Ken (who still managed to beat me in the first 2 races :girlfight:) and Scott just got caught in the middle hahaha. Finishing before Scott in a NI series race when he's on a GPR bike and I'm on my hog is like winning a grand prix for me! It's my proudest racing moment, slightly in front of this one time (only) I beat Henk around Mt Wellington.

Thanks for the video, that was great! I got a few of the races on the GoPro on the nose of the diesel but I'm currently in Rotorua for work so will post them up later on. Thanks for the awesome racing Scott, you're a bloody hard man to pass.

Cool, oh well, something for him to shop for. thanks.

yeah that carb is 26mm wide but oval bored to like 32mm. Crazy 4 stroke stuff I guess. We connected that accel pump up which seemed to help throttle on. just gives a tiny squirt when pushed.

He's running quite a different carb though, Mikuni TM28 I think.

[timg]

Hey Scotty, chucked Pete's FXR on the dyno, came with that XL carb and a 122 mj. Put the 5" trumpet on and it wouldn't pull the gear. 128 ran through but lumpy. 130 fell over totally, 125 totally. Took trumpet off all OK. Changed to 118 ran same as 122. Trumpet back on, fell over. You did say the long one yeah?

Different states of tune seem to like different trumpet lengths? My original FXR with moderate mods liked a 3' trumpet & std airbox but with the full monty it liked the shortest trumpet we could find which was like 10mm. Incidentally putting a 50mm K&N round pod filter on in place of the short trumpet made no difference so I kept the filter.

Haven't had my current GPR FXR on the dyno. Must do that one day to see how it compares and to get the best from it. Cheers.

a 3 foot long trumpet would be sticking out past the tailpiece, I guess you could coil it up like a French horn

OK how to make a inlet trumpet.
Get a trumpet , make a bog pattern of the inside, tidy up and sand, put fiberglass on , more sanding and hammering, done

Its a 34mm Flatside off a DRZ250.

1hp difference with a little cheap pvc trumpet. 50mm piece of pvc. Heat it with a head gun, force it over a pump water bottle. Makes a nice radiused inlet.
Literally took it off and it lost a horse. Put it back on it gained a horse.
Runs were within minutes of each other.

That's how I might have seen it earlier on in the piece too. Shame for their Rig, it certainly had the legs later on. Forgot about Koba's issue in the F5, I look at all the races through a little lens so sometimes I miss the bigger picture.

Scott was lucky not to get hit in a nasty way there, bit scary.

[Bert]

Starting of a conversation...


This is the wrong thread for fuel discussion, it's all about dave and what he's done wrong....

However, as i remember it, everything was pump fuel - which was taken under the ACU regs of the time to include avgas...except supercharged fourstrokes which were limited to 100cc but could use open fuel. Pre '89 this would have included Nitro. The Methamol/Nitro option disappeared from buckets when it went from other classes too. I walked out of that years conference in protest....
Background - I'd been involved with the fastest F1 bike in NZ for 3 seasons using a meth/Toluene blend plus tony Mcmurdo's F3 and F2 bikes using the same blend plus big jolts of Nitro...I felt justifiably aggrieved that having out thought the opposition we were being banned.


Yeah but was that at the same time as the Robert Taylor TZ250 yam and BMS f1 framed 750 Ducati protest counter protest F2 saga.
I never knew the f3 GPZ500 was on the juice too though. I have that KB article somewhere with the write up on the F3 bike.


I'd be interest to learn a little more about the GPZ500... Have one in the shed and was thinking about what to do with it...

500 kawa twins - Kelford have the Megacycle profile we used. Good springs are mandatory - we used to regularly break R&D springs which were the best we could get at the time. .060in off the barrel, cut the piston squish area to match and hand finish the crowns to give clearance = 12.6:1 com. Shot peened rods, clearanced properly. Absolute must is remove the rotor from the alternator boss and make up a lightweight trigger on the boss. Don't do this and torsional resonances break the crank....Some porting required, exhausts in particular need work. Find an ignition box with a more agressive curve and higher limiter. When we put mine on avgas we didn't seem to lose much if anything. Mine on 36mm flatslides made about 72 at the wheel. Tony's on 38's and nitro made about 88 at the wheel i think.
mine's still in the barn, needs a rebuild, one day.....

Boat anchor indeed, i'm looking at the quoted weights for buckets and can tell you a race prepped GPZ500 engine, bare and dry weighs 72kg.....But that's lighter than an NC30 motor.

HAHA you are right with all the fibreglass it is as light as i could make it small lithian iron battery scotts frame it all adds up so no fuel it would be like 77 kg. and still to slow

That's right you are already giving it a go.

Gos back to a conversation Scott and myself had a while back.
Cast up some cases modelled off the RS125 using the good old TF or RG gearbox. Case reed and a derbi cylinder big bore road kit.. Could go fancy and do a dry clutch and balance shaft as well.
If we design things right then the plug could be used for a twin...

If we did it real good then we could convert to a fourstroke twin. With VFR400 heads and short stroke.. :shit:

77kg and 26hp FXR, that is a way better bike than the 2T Beast.trouble been , i'v never come back from a race meeting and keeped that hp , always losse around 2 , after racing at taupo i think i was lossing 4-5 hp just by over heating , water cooling is the way to go , 60kg bike 24 hp start to finsh , can't bet that , well not see it yet in the past so many years .. anyone got ideas my ears are hearing , well maybe , ktm was going to maybe give it a go but that maybe years away and i'm not getting any younger lol

What kind of torque were you getting out of yours Grump?

can't remember a torque figure but the guy riding mine (Mark Taylor) had a party trick of fucking with RS125's by balking them entering corners and simply out grunting them...it would do it to all the 400 fours we met too. Won the F3 support race at one WSB round at Manfield too.
Mine with modified stock frame and on 17's with big brakes etc was 142kg wet with about 4l of fuel. Tony was pissed as his VFR framed one was heavier.
Ran it as a lightly modified road bike at a flying quarter soon after I got it - 125mph with me riding.Fastest 400 was a good FZR at 118mph. Never ran it at another flying quarter but at a Wigram club day it ran away from a pair of GSXR750's in it's final form on our fuel blend.

Its funny you say that i dont see passing in any of the corners not even close to it.thats because he know he has it on you on the straght , got told in the f3 years ago when my bike was stock that the only reson they were betting be was because they had better corner and exit speed , funny when i got my bike going faster i was 2 sconds a lap faster ! , i was slower on the brakes and corners and went even faster , easy to sit back and watch but untill people have the speed of NP you cant compair

Yeah no doubt the bike is fast and light. But he rides it really well. He don't drink and he is fit. Oh and young. I thought it had like 24hp?

Yes 24 (DynoJet) with a nice spread, the Diproses could get more power but have concentrated their efforts on getting their bikes to drive nicely around the track, and it shows in the results.

Take a look at Formula Tokoroa, straight line speed counts for a lot. Finishing counts for a bit as well though...

Straight line speed is enhanced by corner speed and drive off the apex. Finishing is a mix of preparation, riding skill and a little luck.

Ummm yeah, but Kel and Richard were doing the same lap times. Then Richard won. A good example that straight line speed is not everything.
