free bear and half price food anyone?look here

Hey Chaos, don't worry about the air box unless you use the formula I provided you with in another thread, it's too easy to go wrong with an air box and you will have to re jet the bike and possibly change the needle heights etc etc You get the idea, putting pods on it won't help unless you re tune it.

Haven't had a good bear in quite some time, grizzly is too stringy anyway.

Yoy FZR sure does go well, It will be a bad arse weapon with the new freash engine and your new carbs sorted out,

How are you getting on with the Bucket, Im getting another 1 this weekend , Want it ready for nov 7th for roys hill , You want too come and try yours out if its ready?

Buckets got to wait in line.Just ordered another 4hundry of fzr bits(cam chain,valve guide seals and pod filter intake stacks).Took van in for warrent and the manifolds cracked and hard to get to so estimate 3 to 4hundry for that so this year on bucket is iffy unless a cheep engine drifts my direction.Maybe when regos hike to hell there will be an abundance of engines around.Engine work on fzr is north of 4grand and to top it off my tools got stolen again aweek ago and im down thousands on that.

possibly off topic but any advice for someone who has done one trackday on what type of racing to get into. Buckets or streetstocks I guess are the starting options. Not a great mechanic, and currently bikeless so want to get the right machine.
cheers.

What kind of money do you want to spend? How much road experience have you got mate?

If Minimal in both, the 250 twin 4t class is goo, but the streetstock may also be worth considering.

Yea money is why I don't have a bike at the mo. But planning for next year. I've had an fzr 250 which destroyed 250 hyosungs, and a vfr 400 and took my gf round south Island on dad's beema, so got road experience, but bugga all race or bike setup experience.

I would say go for the 250 vee twins if it gets up and running happily, it would be cheap to get a hyobag, gpx, vtr250f2 or spada and go out to race. I'm happy to give any advice on the engine tuning side of things and anywhere I am able to help. The street stock may be quite competitive, but, to be honest I am not too sure

Thanks mate, yea I don't have much experience with 2 strokes and sort of see them as slowly going out of fashion, even though they are cool, so yea that does sound a really cheap option as long as I wasn't up against 4cyl 250s and 150 2strokes which I think MIGHT deal to a 2 cyl 4 stroke. Lots for me to think about thanks again.
