Stink Racing

  1. Pre-ignition...

    Bugger. I started the bike up (1 kick!) and started adjusting the curve on the Ignitech. It was liking the advance a lot (about 17° total). then it started running higher in the rev range; about 7000rpm.
    Shut the throttle. Still revving.
    Switch off. Still revving.
    Disconnect all power and computer. Still revving.
    Pull plug leads off. Still revving.
    Put foot over tail pipes. Stops.

    Bugger. Shit. Pull heads off. Bugger.

    The bike is fully wired with the ignitech and has been running. As it now has 'go' I decided to give it some 'woah'. Standard ZXR250 brakes up front and rear. Should be enough for now. I remember it being pretty good on the brakes.

    I've been looking at the pickup system I'd made up and decided that to needed redoing. First step was to strip the flywheel to pieces and remove the steel and magnets.
