Well project Tracday/Clubmans is almost finished stage one

This is a combined effort by Hellraiser and myself.

So far
1. Basically new 06 Kawasaki ZX636 (2k on the clock)
2. Race fairings (my first attempt at spraypainting, so I hope the vinyls cover most of it eventually)
3. Ohlins Shock
4. Ohlins Fork internals
5. Virgin full race exhaust (looks and sounds absolutly mint, cheers to Warren)
6. Motul fluids throughout

Still to fit
1. Michelin Slicks (will fit once we have sourced tyre warmers)
2. Braided brake lines
3. Sintered brack pads
4. Race numbers

Planned
1. Full graphics (being designed at the mo)
2. Power commander (with dyno time)
3. Air filter
4. Rear sets (might just make up spacers)
5. New chain and sprocket options
6. Adjustable leavers

Cant wait to get it onto the track at Taupo this coming Friday (MotoTT trackday)

Whoa!! Nice setup man.. What series will you be racing that in?... this year??

Not sure, at this stage its mainly for trackdays, but as I already have an MNZ licence, im very keen to give some racing a whirl as well. At the mo, i have no info on when and were the racing is, so will play it by ear

Nice paint job but i still think we should have painted it red so that it would go faster ..........

Black is The One True Colour.

Next TD, I'll make sure I hang back a bit before my session. Just in case you're feeling generous again......

Very nice!!! There were heaps (30+) in Clubmans today. Is this motorcycle racing thing really taking off, or have there always been large numbers turn up!

See you Friday!! My bikes on the dyno tomorrow so really hope it's fine on Friday!

PS - it IS the bike in my avatar - I just rode it so fast all the paint came off....okay - it hadn't been painted yet.

Looks great !!! Pity the extra 36cc restricts what class it can be raced in.

As I've now moved on to a 07 ZX6R, I have a box full of various pieces left over from the 636 should you need anything.... :yes:

Nice I was at the race metting yesterday and my man (kyle) was racing in clubings too. He was on my bike which was a CBR600 1994 and he had a good day i believed that there was a 636 that was very competive for that particular class. How come you can only race in clubings? Why not F2 you would be able to do well in that class and not burgel clubbins!

Cant race F2 as it is a 636cc, max cc in F2 for an inline 4 is 600

Race it on F1.
Itll be fine in there. Specially at Taupo, as there are lots of corners!
You will learn a hell of alot more in F1 too.

Well she has had her first "real" trackday thrash :scooter:

Even though it was a bit wet first thing, she felt comfortable straight away, and OH what a noise that pipe makes :love:

Have now fitted

adjustable billot brake and clutch levers
Sintered pads and bled through motul 600 fluid
Numbers (for some bling :yes: )

Thanks to Leong for timing some of my laps, he clocked a 1:48 on the A1 track, but i was having issues with traffic etc, im sure i can get considerably below that time without too much effort (especially once i get rid of the OEM tyres)

Anyway, rock on the next one :Punk:

You looked good out there!! BIKE certainly looked the part and and a nice and distinctive sound made you easier to spot!! Thought you adapted to it very quickly. Fast group next time will deal with the traffic issues and drop those times I think. :yes:
