all4A50s newbie experience

I spent a nice 1/2 hr practicing starting on Zensen in 2nd and managed to scrub 1.3 secs off over a 110 mtr distance. With some more practice I will hope scrub another 1/2 seconds.

The bike does have a miss when idling, which it didn't happen until I put in the race cams and doesn't effect power at the back wheel.

Ikasu is also coming along. I have changed her over to racer change so I don't stuff up gear changes this Sunday. Started putting on race sliders, dropped ...

The mods to Zensen have worked well. She feels stable in cornering and ready to pounce with only a little throttle, I can't wait to give her a real fistful. It all of my control not to given the new valves and cams. I'll take her out again tomorrow a couple more times to run everything in before the Dyno run on Monday.

Ikasu is slowly but surely getting race ready. Test rode her as until I ran out of gas. The gear changer still has a lot to be desired, but should be ready for a test ...

A good day with both bikes firing into life. I spent a couple of hours putting Ikasu back together and she showed her appreciation by firing up first kick. Mark has done her proud with the engine work as it feels a lot smoother.

The next step give both of them seats so I can test ride them.

Zensen started this morning after I finished putting her together. There is a big BUT with the battery getting 16.7 volts, which means the regulator/rectifier maybe fried. So more fun testing

THIS WEATHER IS SO FRUSTRATING. It's simply to cold and wet to do much work in the garage

In saying that my hands haven't been completely idle. The parts arrived last week for Zensen and ended up only replacing the exhaust valves and seals as all I could find was a lot of carbon build up. I've fitted the race shock (which lifted the back end by at least 3 cm), which I can't wait to try out as this should give me a higher corner exit speed. When comparing the race cams to the standard ...
