Street Stock 250cc 4-stroke twins

[EJK]

Just pull one ignition plug out and race a F4 Class on Mt Wellington.

[ajturbo]

ZXR has 4 cylinders!

cool that means he can race it in the 250cc production class.....

as for the 250 twins... get 6 or more and i am sure you guys will have your own race with the vic club...

that is what the 250 racers did... came along.. entered.. built up the numbers (over 6) then asked for their own class...

that is all you guys will have to do.....

hey all
you realy wont belive this but the stock shinkos on the hyo ARE the same compond they use in their drag tyres

they are usless cold but get them past 45c and there like qualifing tyres. if you ever get the chance do a stand still burn out, a short one 2 or 3 sec and it gets sticky, dosent just ware away it gets REALY sticky

Yeah man a lot of racers use them, they just do a big burn out before the race and it sticks like glue. You won't believe it, plus it's cheap as well. Leave them on and go racing dude

Hey Chaosrider, great to see you still enthusiastic about racing

I have to say though mate, because you have not raced before, it's going to be a steep learning curve.

I don't believe for a second that the Shinko's use the same rubber for there drag tyres (they make drag tyres?)

After you have done o bit of racing (and sadly had a few spills.....it will happen) you will VERY QUICKLY learn that suspension set up and tyre choice are the most important thing you can pay attention too.

Given the fact that you have to use the original suspension, your tyre choice is omnipotent.

I have to say Chaos, (as far as racing goes) the Shinko's are A BIG NO NO!

Riding quickly on the street (it's all subjective anyway) is one thing, riding quickly on the track is another.

The only thing keeping your nut sack from the ashphalt is those tyres........they MUST BE THE BEST YOU CAN AFFORD.

They may well feel planted hooning around North Shore on a Saturday afternoon, but push them hard on a track, and they will show up all their faults........this will show itself with a "no warning" slide into the ripple strip.

Please mate, if $ is the problem, go into a tyre shop, explain the situation, and they may well have a "useable" set of second hand tyres for a good price..........that will be the best thing you can do.

Good luck Chaosrider, some pictures of your first racebike will be well recieved.

Very good points, pretty sure you're allowed to do suspension internals though.

Any tyre will get sticky on the surface adfter a burnout, but that does not mean it will stick well to the road. Shinko's, are shit house. Even the bloody slicks they sell for big bikes, are a 20 year old construction, dredged up from Yokahama. They even call them the same thing, 002r, 001 and so on. Stay away from them.

23k !! bugger me, when mine expired it had (at a guess) around 120k on it hahaha.

As for the tires man, I haven't used either of them on mine, I think the dunlops are what the street stock dudes love, albeit a slightly smaller section of course..

I hope your gonna ride it home ? Good fun

I would put all my money on this being untrue mate, all tires after a burnout are sticky sticky, but as it has been said above, doesn't mean they will hold the road, BIN THE SHINKO'S mate, you are just going to crash AGAIN if you stick with those pieces of shit.
