Bucket update

[speedpro]

4000rpm is plenty wide enough. F5 has managed with about a 1/10th of that for about as long as I've known him. Mind you his steel clutch plates were a lovely shade of blue.

[Sketchy_Racer]

Hey speedy pro.....

How do i stiffen up the clutch on my KR150?? it slips when it hits powerband and its fucking me off.

Yes the cable is adjusted right

[Ivan]

like the mighty DR could be the same as dads TZR and the clutch basket gets 'lumps' and ends up making the clutch plates play up you have to filethem off dads TZR was a bitch for that an hour in the basket and nowit runs mint


butyeah ask someone else but thats what I did any ways

[speedpro]

That could be it, especially if you have been giving it a hard time. Just file the sides of the grooves flat as you can and that will help. It lets the plates all move freely instead of binding up on the little bumps. If you can't get that to work I've sometimes been able to slide an extra plate in so that the steels are working on an unmarked bit of the inner clutch hub. I wouldn't just add spacers to the springs, that'll make it less nice to use and just mask the problem.

[Sketchy_Racer]

I wouldnt think that it would have put grooves on the clutch basket after only 4000kms of road use.

Ill do an oil change as i think the twat that owned it before me put car oil in it.


And i want to check and see if my kips powervalves are working, as it feels that they dont open up sometimes because the powerband is flat, but then other times its quite snappy ??

That could be it but getting a hard time from the racestarts you did etcetc and if that TWAT dropped the clutch it doesntneed tobeoldI can feel that the DR is doing it again and the basket is only a few hours old

Ah yes . . . the old "diagnose my problem, here's half the info" trick.

I've had good results with Motul Transoil, noticeably better transmission and clutch by switching to it. It might take a bit to work it's way into the ckutch.

[Sketchy_Racer]

I just put some spectro 'clutch saver' oil in it today.....

and my god, a product that acctually works!!!

The clutch does not slip at all now!! YAY

Now..... to sort those crappy power valves.

Is it possible to just get some blanks made up to fill the holes and run no powervalves??

[Ivan]

Yes but Clutch saverneeds to be rplaced frequently I need to replace it every race meeting in the RS

[Sketchy_Racer]

I think your RS is a tad different to my KR you dumbass

[Ivan]

I think your RS is a tad different to my KR you dumbass


It does matter the oil viscosety and thickness is different clutch saver is quite thin

[Sketchy_Racer]

ok Luke 'bungeye'

[Bert]

It does matter the oil viscosety and thickness is different clutch saver is quite thin

Try AMSOIL. and it will last alot longer and man is it thin and doesn't seem to brake down like other oils.
if you have a chance have a look at the pdf below its worth a read when considering different oils.:zzzz:

http://www.amsoil.com/lit/g2156.pdf

. I think that the closest supplier is in wanganui. but he will send anywhere in the country.

Top man, Top oil.
I know this might not mean much, but I've used amsoil in most of my bikes & karts; and it is top shit.

[Ivan]

I had a go at porting tonight I have onlymucked around with the reed port and muckedaround on the transfers by the the base gasket is harder than it looks used files and a dremal set want to get used to doing small porting before I touch the internal ports I am going to complete the RS rolling chassis then shave fins to a small degree make some engine mounts and race the puppy or else I am going to throw it in the Aprillia cause dad wants the XL engine for a dirt bike will be a bloody fast 125 dirtbike

will continue on TF tommorow then off to Taupo to the international circuit:rockon:

[Sketchy_Racer]

WTF!!

Told you cant fuckin' finish anything ivan.

You cant even get a simple old four stroke engine running properly, and now you think that you can make a two stroke go really fast......

Sorry, but to be honest, i think you're pushing shit up-hill.

and that XL 125 engine wont be fast. Its just a crappy old XL 125 engine, that you bead blasted?? where did all the magical power come from??

It's DADS NOT MYNE, HE SAID HE WAnTS IT AS A DIRT BIKE BECAUSE HE AINT GOING BACK TO BUCKETS AGAIN AND HE ENJOYS DIRT BIKING SO WE WILL CHUCK IT IN THAT AND hoW DOES THAT MAKE ME pUSH SHIT UP HILL AND I HaVE HAD IT RUNNING PROPERLY YOUR GETTING MORE AND MORE GAYER aS I KNOw YOU MORE

THE POWER WILL BE MORE THAN A XL125 BECAUSE IT HAS BIGGER CAM BIGGER HEAD AND VALVES PORTED THE hEAD SO IT FLOWS SMOOTHER RUN STRAIGHT THROUGH PIPES SO YOU DONT BAFFLE THE GASSES AS THEY ESCAPE ETC ETC I ACTUALLY DO NOT WHAT I AM DOING I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOU ALWAYS BEING A JERK OFF WHO THINKS HE IS THE TOP MAN AT EVERYTHING

[Ivan]

The Tf is going to fit the RS quite nice so I now need to build the motor up get it running send it down to theuncle get him to weld it and build a chamber andraceit

YEA

I am quite happy itll fit
now to finish porting it and throw my slick on my front rim rebleed the brakes disime suspension set up and race might be ready for the 30th

If you cant put an engine together without having the Cam sproket fall off, then your doing something wrong.

Im not the best..... Acctually im hopeless. But COME ON IVAN YOU KNOW BETTER.

[gav]

So what are you going to do with the Aprilia rolling chassis then?

[Sketchy_Racer]

HES GONNA PUT A GSXR1100 TURBO MOTOR IN IT. WELL So HE SAYS

[Ivan]

Dad is probably gonna flick the Aprillia off but It might bemy best bet to throwthe TF in that More room to work with

[Ivan]

TF motor is in pieces at the momment I am doing a whole engine overhaul just stripped it to nothing and am replacing all my bearings in it and also the seals balance the crank add a flatslide race carb and get my barrel ported I have bead blasted the squish bank on the head but it might need a hone or something because it has pit marks in it and is not good its gonna be a awsome motor

[Bert]

...... I have bead blasted the squish bank on the head but it might need a hone or something because it has pit marks in it and is not good its gonna be a awsome motor

WTF.... why did you bead blast the head for. sorry am I missing something???
I always though that you machined the head to get the correct / desired squish, then shaped/laped the facing to suit the barrel ??
I spose that is where I"ve been going wrong.:gob:
hay would a sand blaster work as well :nya: ????
sorry mate, just struggling to understand what you are up to.

[Sketchy_Racer]

Just give up on trying to explain ANYTHING to Ivan........

BTW,

Good luck on getting your barrel back in one piece...... or NOT bead blasted

[ajturbo]

Dad is probably gonna flick the Aprillia off but It might bemy best bet to throwthe TF in that More room to work with

what is the aprilla?...:scooter: and how much?..

[Sketchy_Racer]

Its got ugly UGLY welds in it, but it is a very cool bucket frame with good tires on it.

Apart from the near impossibility of getting bearings for the gearbox, you may only need to change the crank bearings. If you are going to rev it a bit harder than stock, and who doesn't, you will do well to check the big end bearing which will mean dismantling the crank. Fresh seals are always a good idea to start with. Don't bother being too technical when balancing the crank. Just press the aluminium into the holes as described earlier in the thread, it works really well. The closest thing I've found to a flatslide carb for a 2-stroke are some real nice Keihin carbs but they were still round slide with flat bits sticking out each side on the slide. I can't imagine why you would have blasted the squish band, generally a clean machined surface is desired, I even like to Wet n Dry the squish while it's in the lathe just to get it nice and smooth. Little pock marks from something like a little or big end failure don't make much differance, just scrape/file off the high spots. I've done that a few times over the years.

I've said it before Ivan - get friendly with someone who knows what they're doing. Determine if they know what they're by seeing how fast their bike is.

[F5 Dave]

I think it is important to polish the head & recommend you forgo television for the next week or so until it is mirror-like. Some tuners may disrepute this practise but I have positive proof that there are fundamental benefits for doing this.
My GasGas trials bike has a bright polished head & it looks real smart + it is real easy to clean, dirt washes right off & everyone can respect that right off.

Better welds than the ones on that old TF of yours they were shocking those welds are good because they are ARC and are fucking strong Aprillia is myne if I want it for TF which could be good

I gently used the bead blaster on the head to help clean the carbon and rust deposits and you bead blast the top of thehead to get rid of thecrap so it is shiny like dave said and thenair flows easier and also is easier to clean hopefully being a road race bike it wont be muddy I am gonna have sprockets as well and might take it to the next Vic Club trackday for a ride around and see how it handles should be fun you should bring yours 2 Bert and we will go in the slow class


Yes sand blaster willwork just be real gentle on it and dont hold the gun to close or other wise youl take to much out

[k14]

I am gonna have sprockets as well
good to see you're sticking to chain drive and not attempting to convert it to shaft drive or something. although with all the power its making it might snap all the chains you put on it :gob:

[Bert]

Man........ Ivan

You are SO gullibul (sp)

ah ha ha....

shut up finch

[Bert]

Well I wish i had more time to finish off mine but I'm sure I'll have it done soon.

But have found time to finish off my streetstock ZXR 250, just in time for the start of the winter series. yahooooooooo

what a nightmare this project has been.

From start.
DEC turners auctions : one damaged 1989 zxr, - I'm in, shot off from work to have a look see. brought it, took it home and faced the better half. spare room is so quite.

broken bits
Fairing, well that was always going to be the case
LHS Footpeg bracket
RHS footpeg bracket missing
1 clipon
switches mashed
rear sub frame bent and broken
front brake res
zorst bent
front wheel cracked

holy sh!t where do i start.

end of feb:
found most bits, fixed fairings. gave it some amsoil started it up.

now : ready to race.

time for the visa ad.

bike $450
parts $more than i wanted to spend
VMCC winter series priceless (I hope)

hehehe thats MAD!!!

Ill see you there btw..

Im gonna be on the team JDR RG150!!

LETS RACE

[Bert]

I'll just follow everyone and have fun, me thinks

[Sketchy_Racer]

Follow everyone..... booooo

Once your on the track it will change...

Soooo,

Do you mind if i ask how much it has cost you so far??

[Bert]

I set myself a $2000 limit. including bike,winter series entry. new tyres (only brought one new rear, front is currently ok'ish) and there is a wee bit left over, which I'm sure I'll blow soon, needs a new front sprocket and maybe some better brake pads and there's the bucket.:innocent:
As for following everyone, I've just fixed the bloody thing; (seem i fall of every time i ride my bucket, i think going slow is a good option). :blip:

[Sketchy_Racer]

well we will both be newbies on the track!!!

Man im sooo excitied!!

[Coyote]

Nice bike! How much did it cost all up? How much do they normally cost at an Auction? Think I should start saving

250s are faster than the 150s at Manfeild. You should have no problem following the front pack

8 days now :D

[Sketchy_Racer]

hey daniel, Ill be on the same bike as you!!

Have you got any new tires for your bike before racing??

[Bert]

1350ish to get it rideable, though i had access to a fair few freebies and some cost price bits. Amsoil, blade and tires were the most expensive bits.

I think I was lucky with the price. it had a reserve of 600. I won the auction with a bid of 250. then heckeled them down to 400; it was there last auction before christmas so I guess any sale for them was a good sale.

We'll see, haven't done very much riding over the last few years so I'm abit woobly and lacking in confidence. but being back out there sould be fun.

250's arnt faster than 150 2 strokes there were not any up the top group they were in about 6th you were the closest

[Coyote]

Yay!

Racey Rider was kind enough to give me his old TT900GP rear tyre. It's 100/80/17 and it didn't fit his KR so he said if I wanted it I could have it so long as I pay for freight. This tyre is slightly smaller than the original IRC it had so it makes the RG a bit quicker off the line than before, but I haven't found out it's max speed yet. Also the bike turns a lot lot sharper.

I guess you got it off Trademe? Sounds like a good deal

Not as good a deal as my TS185. Complete bike but not working, with a spare not working engine, wheels and several other parts for $21 :yeah: (+ petrol for the trip to pick it up from Plamerston North)

Take it easy out on the track. I went too gun-ho last time and suffered for it. I'm going to take it easy and hopefully finish all the races this time

[Coyote]

I found it quite easy to pass them on straights and I kept up with them on corners. I naturally assumed my bike was faster instead of me being a good rider.

I was keeping the revs up around corners which may have given me the advantage coming out of them. On the hairpins I'd shift down twice so I'd be over 10,000rpm coming out of the corner. Any lower rpm than that and it'd take forever to speed up

Cool. Been meaning to go to Turners more often to get an idea of what comes up at what price

Our TS ain't going anywhere. It's mainly a parts bike for my Dads TF185 project. I would like to buy the rest of the bike off him and turn it into a rough as guts streetfighter

Yeah, this is why I want to take it easy. I don't want to spend another 6 months fixing a bike

And bugger 'em :bleh:

Ohhhhh 6 days till racing... and im already geting excited!!!

I Aim to be in the top five.

I have come to RACE!!

I'd like to get a good finish, but I'd rather come home with the bike intact.

I'm really damned excited too

[Bert]

I'd just like to do some laps... haven't had much luck with the new bucket so far, so I think that I better leave the bike building to those little japanese fellows. (for this month anyway!!!!).:scooter:
keep a look out for the ZXR #90

We all sould make a effort to pit together. Team KB..
I was thinking about bring out the BBQ anyone else keen ?? you bring the meat I'll supply the gas.

Ill write a wtrite up when i get home!!!

Im still at ivans

[Ivan]

hey while I have my TF apart what other mods should I do to it I have ported the barrel honed it got the engine completly apart and am looking at my crank thinking what can I do to it I dont understand what you mean Aluminum slugs in crank in what the crank pin? or the other drill holes,

Man 2 stroke porting is pretty easy I will post a pick of what I have done,
Thanks Bert for the Barrel myne is no were near the same as yoursbut I was burning the tips out on the die grinder so basically lifted exhausted port and lowered the inlet ports

The Barrel I am copying from has been keywayed in the exhaust and had inlets dropped myne has been widened and smoothed on the exhaust as well as lifted and my inlets have been dropped

I checked the gear box today that seems good I need crank seals and bearings now

[Sketchy_Racer]

Sounds good ivan.

What piston are you going to get for it??

Remeber, it is still only a 98cc. That means you can bore it out to like a 115cc before you have to go to the 24mm carb.

Check the rule book.

Good luck

Not so sure about that, rulebook say "2 stroke engines over 104cc are restricted to carburetor equivelent to a single 24mm carburettor" dosent say nuffin about 115cc

Yer Stanko you got in before me. Checked the MNZ site got the same thing

[Sketchy_Racer]

Yeah thought so. I did remember something along those lines, Thats also why i said check the rule book as i am not that well aquanted with it.

Standered for now I want to test my port job first

[gav]

Not so sure about that, rulebook say "2 stroke engines over 104cc are restricted to carburetor equivelent to a single 24mm carburettor" dosent say nuffin about 115cc
How do they measure if a carb "is equivalent to a single 24mm carb" If you run a twin then its not necessarily two 12mm carbs then is it. And what if you modify a bigger carb? Is it just the measurement of the throat size into the intake manifold? Would say a modified 32mm carb with a 24mm restrictor in the throat be more effective than say a standard 24mm carb? I guess only an air flow bench or something would tell, wouldnt it, just interested.....

[Sketchy_Racer]

I believe that it was worked out by someone, that Two 17mm carbs were equvilant to 24mm. Don't quote me on this.

Sleving down in teh carb can work, but in my (little) experience, it did not do much.

[speedpro]

17mm carb has a cross-sectional area of about 227 square mm.
24mm carb has a cross-sectional area of about 452 square mm.

24mm carb size was chosen because it was the standard size carb on a lot of 125cc farm or commuter bikes and also because it was thought that it would restrict the performance of the 125cc motors about the right amount to keep everything competitive. On kart tracks at least it seems to be about right. Big fast tracks it's definitely a limiting factor, but then so is being air-cooled.

The "equivalent" word was used to stop people using a couple of carbs that added up to a big one, say a couple of 22mm carbs which would be about equivalent to a single 32mm carb.

[speedpro]

Man 2 stroke porting is pretty easy

I can just about remember when I used to think that.

Had an AC50 at that time with a cast iron barrel. Borrowed a windy and cutters for the exhaust but did the boost ports with needle files, made them into a single bigger one. Watercooled it, homemade CDI, factory race kit wheels(no kidding), up-and-over pipe that exited under the seat with a titanium muffler. Couldn't pass that b'stard Pete Sales on his GT50 but kept him honest.

Back in the good old days . . . . . .

yea mad,

Homemade CDI how do you make those?
Hey Speed pro what do you mean aluminium slugs can you tell me where to put them?

Cheers,

Ivan:scooter:

[speedpro]

I removed the flywheel from the little boss that went onto the crank. This left just the little bit that opened and closed the points. I used the points to trigger a CDI which me and another guy designed and built. The CDI ran off a battery which was jammed into the (sheetmetal)frame. It powered an inverter which provided about 400v to charge a capacitor. When the points opened a SCR fired which dumped the 400v from the capacitor into the ignition coil and whammo. The spark easily jumped a 20mm gap on the bench and was huge and fat. We designed a de-bounce circuit into it as when I revved the motor hard the points were bouncing causing erratic sparks.

As for the slugs - If you look at the crank now that you have it out you will see that each side of where the bigend pin presses into the flywheels that there is a hole. These are for balancing and are probably originally factored for about 3-4000rpm. You need to rebalance for about 9-11000rpm. To do that you will need to reduce the balance factor and to do that you need to fill one hole in each flywheel with something. I put a slug of aluminium into each of the larger holes in each flywheel and it worked great. There was no science involved. I just knew from how and where the motor vibrated that I had to reduce the counterbalance.

[Ivan]

sweet as for cdi ignition it might be better to run a RM125 internal rotor and stator directly to CDI then off to coil whammo (cool word) spark

[diesel pig]

Hey Speedpro are these slugs interference fit? As in the slugs are made slightly bigger than the holes they are to fit into and neither the hole is heated up or the slug cooled down to be pressed together

[F5 Dave]

. . . Man 2 stroke porting is pretty easy I will post a pick of what I have done, . .
:rofl: :rofl:
Trading on the stock exchange is easy.
Playing high stakes poker is easy.
Brain surgury with a chain saw is easy.

Being successful in any of the above is perhaps a little harder.

Ending up with something that is better than before & stays together without chewing up rings requires a bit of luck if you are launching into things with merely enthusiasm.

So presumably you have measured the duration of the ports? The blow down duration until transfer opening? Time area?

Oh, that’s ok then.

Bigger is always better. Try dropping a tennis ball down any hole you find in the engine or widen until this is possible.:first:

It was what we had at the time. Noone had got into using YZ/RM/KX/CR ignitions back then. One good thing was that crankshaft inertia was reduced heaps as there wasn't any flywheel at all. The battery weighed a bit but I could have used a smaller one for sure. A YZ80 ignition is far simpler plus it retards as revs rise which is good.

[Ivan]

don't you know what spokie dokies are??


Now I do them little plastic things that spin around when you are riding a push bike yeah send me some that would be mint as I'm gonna do a 1980 RS125 conversion on it aye

[gav]

Man 2 stroke porting is pretty easy I will post a pick of what I have done,

So wheres the photo? :wait:

[Ivan]

Well umm


The barrel is a tech Im throwing it together tommorow

[Ivan]

Me and RG100!! set to work!!

RG 50 has now had a Honda RS125 rear shock put in it. Just pressing on the back end feels alot better not much surgery was needed either to get it to fit just needed the grinder here and there and a some washersand it popped right in.

Then we took the standered wiring loom out and run a straight wire from the points this made it alot lighter took off the oil pump so it is now premix and took out the gay SUZUKI dash and put in an Aprillia:blip:

Now I am going to run an internal rotor flywheel MX style and run a Honda RS125 tail fairing its going to be mad pics to come

[Ivan]

Here they are

Here the bike is as is now note
RS125 Honda tank and tail piece

[Ivan]

The weight I have taken off and me racing it

[k14]

woah man you look like you're going really fast in that pic.

[F5 Dave]

Yeah & who needs a shock absorber anyway?

[Sketchy_Racer]

Yeah & who needs a shock absorber anyway?


People that want to go fast.

Is ivans bike getting too cool for you :tugger:

[Ivan]

woah man you look like you're going really fast in that pic.


thanks I love that bike cant wait to see what it is like with the new shock

[Ivan]

People that want to go fast.

Is ivans bike getting too cool for you :tugger:



HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA
Now that bike is gonna be:first:

[Sketchy_Racer]

Hey Ivan you should get the picture of you on your 50 that is in your loung!.

The one on the wall next to the computer.

Same with the ones of you on the RS125

[Ivan]

Yeah like these

[gav]

I could be wrong, but that doesnt look like a TF100 motor in that chassis? Werent you rebuilding a TF motor? Whats happened to that? And have you weighed the stuff that went back into the RG, like the RS shock, the Aprilia dash etc, does that rev counter work? Thought you didnt want to race a 50?

[Sketchy_Racer]

Yep he is still doing the TF100.


The aprilia dash is much lighter.

The RS125 shock is even more lighter!

and yes the rev counter does work.

We are not anal enough to fuck around weighing stuff. Its only buckets FFS

Well the TF is faaaaaaaaaaar from being ready for the next meeting, so we may as well do simple easy improvements to the bike he has to ride eh?

[Ivan]

whats up!!!!!

[gav]

This turned up at work today!
http://tyga-performance.com/site/images/EXCS0002.jpg
Its even more sexy in real life, think I'll just hang it on the wall in the lounge. :yes:
Think Tyga actually cocked up my order, as I didnt order or pay for the muffler, but one turned up in the box anyway! Oh well, suppose I could always post it back to them? :innocent: :rofl:
Came with free tee shirt, stickers, pens etc.

Wheels arrived last week :innocent:

[Sketchy_Racer]

Triiiiiiick!!!

What is dis fo ?

Oh how much for the shiny chamber??

[Ivan]

Its for a Honda RS125 or Aprillia RS
Yes TF is still all go and could be ready by now round but not hanging out on it. I decided that RS shock would improve handling and Aprillia Revs gauge is cool Its a bucket FFS who cares about Weighing shit
Its only to go faster than what it is

[gav]

Hopefully all will find a home on my MB.
The chamber and muffler cost me less than $200!! It is so trick, light as!!

Some more stuff being thrown at it!
Carbon fibre reeds, NSR instruments, VFR400 brake m/c, FZR400 tail section (to be modded and tidied up)

[gav]

Its for a Honda RS125 or Aprillia RS

No its not....

[stanko]

Looks like you will have the fastest mobility scooter in the rest home.

[gav]

Looks like you will have the fastest mobility scooter in the rest home.

[Ivan]

Why thank you

[Sketchy_Racer]

[Ivan]

Dont have one :nya:
It looks like a early RS Im just gonna cut my slick and put it on as a intermediate on the rear and the rear on it as the front

[Sketchy_Racer]

the rims are 18 inch.

17 inch slicks wont fit ;)

[Bert]

Dont have one :nya:

Anyway, moving right along, I've got a new frame coming for mine too.
Alloy RG250W frame and swingarm, woohoo.....:yes:

[Sketchy_Racer]

Hmmmmmmmmmm

Enjoy the lovely steering geometry those things have ;)

What about the rear shock?

And Forks..... And wheels.....

[gav]

Hmmmmmmmmmm

And Forks..... And wheels.....
17" FZR250 wheels, have enough crap that should be able to cobble something together. :blip:

[Sketchy_Racer]

Yep those FZR wheels are a winner. Albit heavy, but better than wire 18"s

So I believe that you are putting the MB100 engine into this correct?

[Ivan]

Ok we got to keep this thread moving someone sticky it

[Sketchy_Racer]

It will keep going if it needs to, otherwise,

It will die in its own time

[Ivan]

NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Anyways what you guys think of the new retro bucket and its none standered front end dont know what its off chassis is 1974

[Expert]

all of it

[Ivan]

O tru so your not an engineer then!!!!!!

[Ivan]

Ok so who is riding this weekend I know I am and probably my brother

[Expert]

RG100, i'm up in Auckland, i wasn't calling ivan an idiot, i thought it was someone on a wind-up, is he really that daft?
I'm putting together a bucket, 150 4 stroke, rg alloy frame(might be a bit heavy) fzr 250 back wheel, tzr front, yamaha xt150 motor.
does a trail bike engine count as road orientated/non-competition based?
Who was it on here who was importing spares from thailand? how easy is that to do coz it's hard to get hold of decent spares here at the right price?
anybody got a ag200/xt200/trike200 motor in their shed they wanna sell?

[Sketchy_Racer]

Sweet as mate,

The XT motor is NOT a 'competition' engine so is eligible.

Sounds like a good project!

[ajturbo]

I need port angles/ timing

all of it

angle=== it leans a bit forward....let say ummm 1deg?

timing?.. i use a stop watch.. (ivan uses a hour glass:nya: )

Sorry to disapoint matt,

But do you REALLY think ivan could do that?

errrm

No.

Sorry Ivan, but you KNOW you won't get that done...... not till your like 40 or something.....

[MattRSK]

Was just encouraging him!! :rockon: Buckets must be still on this weekend. Im thinking of wearing my codura gear over the top of my leathers to get there. Im usually fine unless it rains, then my gloves get real cold. Bought new polypro though.

[Expert]

Ivan,
That will be AWESOME!
Have you seen that tigcraft YZF 450 thing around?
That thing goes like f@ck!

Lol,

Fair enough.

Hey i just found out what works really well to stop gloves leaking.

its for leather, but also works on cordua....!! Its called SnoSeal. Its bees wax that you heat up your glove then work the wax into your glove.

I had my hand under the tap for 5min without a ounce of wet.

Amazing!!!

Yeah good idea to have the cordua over the top.... leathers can get pretty cold!!

[TonyB]

Snowseals been around forever. It's good but its not perfect. For a start most some types of seam will still leak, plus if you have to do a long ride in the rain the water makes its way into the leather and somehow forces the snowseal out, leaving white gunk all over your leathers

[Fooman]

And it makes you smell like really bad mead if you walk around after using it on your leather jacket...

*Hint for using Snoseal*

Warm up your item of clothing in the sun (works well for black leather) or the hot water cupboard. Avoid using the oven if you can, but if you must, make sure the thermostat is working properly and turn off the oven before you put your item of clothing in. Ahem. :doh:

Yes your right... nothing is going to keep the water out 100%. it always gets in.

But for what its worth...... it good stuff.

Spudracer said you were slow as fuck and he'll kick your arse :lol:
Fuck no spudracer is a fat cunt I'll easily waste his fat arse with my mighty CG125, although he'll probably be quicker 'round the corners cos he has more weight to hang off the side.

Look out for an especially rat CG125 with a highly dented tank and a 50% 100mph tape seat.

just a word of caution Tyger... knowing your silly antics in the past, NO fucking around on the track tomorow or you will be sent home. You will be playing with the big boys and some of their bikes have had a shit load of time, effort and money spent on them, trying to prove anything will not go down well... having said that see ya there and have a bloody awesome day:second: <---- from last

yeah better not wreck them, took 7 cows to give enough leather for those. be a shame to have to kill another 7 to replace them :nya:

[gav]

When are you gona start racing again Gav?
Deisel Pig reckons gearbox should be finished this week, I'll pick it up next week and hopefully have it running by the end of next week. Need a front brake hose and sort out which exhaust to use. Should be sorted for next round 13th August.

[Flyno]

Hey boss....saw you at round 2 but never got a chance to catch up! wen i came to find you you were gone!!! well hopefully at the next meet we can meet up and have a chat!

I don't recall any silly antics?

Nah don't worry I don't like to ride too agressivly around other riders, don't like to get too close, but I like to go quite hard when I'm by myself.

Ahhhhh! Just bloody got my bucket finished now after working on it ALL day, get 7 hours sleep then I'm ready to go! Hope it passes! 1:20, looks like time 4 bed.

[dangerous]

I don't recall any silly antics?.
Remember I used to work with a mate of yours and I know his old man, reckons you are a loose cannon, AND antics... what about the pics posted up were you rode as hard as you could up the summet rd till ya arsed off... thats what I'm talking about.

No worries tho man, ya going to learn a thing or two today... whats ya race number to be as we cant have any more double ups.

[TygerTung]

Well I have a 1 a 2 and a 6 which can be used as a 9 as well so I'll sort somthing out when I get to the track, hope I can have 12 tho

[Coyote]

Racing was awesome to watch today. And the RG's FXR was great fun


Shame I had to go spoil my day and crash the RG

[TygerTung]

Man, that was a fantastic day racing, pity tho cos I only got the practise and one race as on the first race the swing arm bolt nearly fell out of my bike, came out about half way. Race 2 was good, was having the mean battles with this fulla on a GP100, got cut short though as there was a bad accident. Was no race 3 either as there wasn't enough time.

Can't wait for the next round!

[Expert]

Hey Ivan,
Thanks for putting me onto that fella with the yamaha motors, good bloke to deal with.
I just finished hacking and welding my RG frame, cut about 80mm out of the frame to shorten it up and been chopping all the unnesseccary brackets and cast bits off coz despite being aluminium it weighs a lot.
When is the start of the bucket season? Any good meetings in the middle of the north island?

Anybody else got any xt/ag 200 engine bits?

PS I brought the TZR pipes you pointed me to.

[diesel pig]

Ah Gav I think if you leave the pipe where it is the header will hit in the corners.:yes:

[Rashika]

OMG.... its got pink handlebars....and a brake lever like Speedy's curled-up-bent-bike one!! :gob:

[steve k]

Hey Gav

Nice looking pipe. Have you made that or is it an off the shelf item?

[Sketchy_Racer]

looks nice gav..... when are gonna get the 17s on it... or are you putting them on the 'good' frame??

its hard to tell if the chamber will scrape....

so it is a pinkish shade of purple...is that somehow better than PINK? I could understand MY bike having pink/purple handlebars, cos it is my fav colour, but I never knew it was a guy colour too... :innocent: :blip:

nah they're pink.

on another note, I think we have a new winner for shittiest looking bucket.

Yeah, recycling centre wasnt it? Piled about 5 high, I think....

[Ivan]

Werent you rebuilding your TF? New bearings etc? Just finish that one!


Yeah I am and Im going to be putting a 6 speed box in so want a spare motor to use for now and then put good one in and use the spare as a spare incase i blow a piston or stuff a crank

[Sketchy_Racer]

Ivan - Engines must be running before you blow a piston or stuff a crank.

just get this one going...

[speedpro]

Yeah I am and Im going to be putting a 6 speed box in so want a spare motor to use for now and then put good one in and use the spare as a spare incase i blow a piston or stuff a crank

If you build it right with all the right bits and race it every couple of weeks or so it should last about 2 years before the crank thrust washers call it quits. Pistons will crack but that's an easy fix if you catch it in time, and quite a bit of work getting all the shrapnel out if you don't. Either way I suggest you don't waste time, effort, or money getting a spare motor.

Will people not learn from others misfortune, gn's dont make bucket racers or at least the motors dont. Leave it standard, dont perform any mods that Kick thinks will make it go beter. He has a sweet handling gn in need of a RELIABLE heart transplant go to his shed steal it, paint it pink so he dosent ask for it back.
The thing about a pink paintjob is if you loose no one was taking you seriously and if you win you could be setting a new trend. Its the old story of "I'll wear a pink shirt..............but not to the rugby".

[Ivan]

Thats what I thought too, but figgered Ivan knows beter :shutup:


Nah this ones quite old and is only 5 speed

O well im working on my 50 today fuel filters had it so I am going to replace that and order 2 new jets for it so it is leaner but not to lean that it will sieze:shutup:

[Sketchy_Racer]

you dick ivan!

It will be running to lean at the moment because of no air filter or baffel.

get a range of jets from 2 below and 2 above what you have for future mods

[vtec]

Haha, yeah, if you free up airflow. You actually need to put in richer jets so that you can give it enough fuel to match the air. Seriously, if you've done what RG100 says you've done, you need to make it richer.

[Ivan]

yeah jetting is to rich its drowning in fuel i checked my brothersbike and he has the same carb different pipe and is jetted 06 myne is 08 far to rich im going to jet it down I know from 2 stroke tuning manual that it isto rich from checking the plug and also double checking in the book its only like 2 bucks a jet

your still a dick.

I can TELL you from riding it that it is too lean.

thats why it bogs.

Start doing things properly.

Mix your fuel properly

Do a PROPER plug check. (the one where you go down a long road in fourth top gear for ages then Kill the bike and pull the clutch in.)

You cant compare the two bikes. They are way different.

oh and burn out your chamber. It feels blocked
