Will I get my 100 ready in time for Taupo?

[husaberg]

Hey fair call, but there are also millions of temp fan switches like the one TZ's first pic out there working fine. If you got worried you could fit a switch to bypass & just flick it if the temp goes up. Sketchys one just runs all the time, but it does overcool if he doesn't tape the rad.


And your range of temps for the thermos isn't that good when you want to run mid 50s. Cars are often around 90, big bikes 80s & 2 strokes often 70. Race bikes want cooler ideally. Higher temp for road 2 strokes avoids chance of over cooling in winter perhaps, but probably best area for least wear & best economy.

Great site below
As you are obviously pretty keen on going the electric pump way.
Something along these line would probably be the most efficient.

. . .
I wanted to avoid the electronic version as noise from ign can cause all sorts of grief & I wanted it simple.

& to make it funnier, guess which industry I work in? not enough time to fuck around making something reliable when I have so many other projects to finish. Sitting next to me in a tray on my desk is an unfinished EGT module & a quickshifter prototype & there's even a shiftlight box I was given to repair. They will never see the light of day again.

You are a production manager Dave ? Delegate

reminds me of what most Panel beaters cars look like. Those circuits above are simple and robust and reliable, relatively speaking.

You kind of might get why Grumph and I might have been pushing the simple mechanical systems Dave. That's the irony of the situation.

But none of this is helping getting the 100 ready for Taupo.

When is the Next Taupo Deadline.

I wouldn't mind having a go at it myself to be honest.

[F5 Dave]

Next Taupo deadline is March.

[husaberg]

Next Taupo deadline is March.

I'd never make it.
Whens the next bucket GP is what I meant.
Google break later.........
Ok i get it that is the next bucket GP at Taupo it only seems like it was er...not that long ago. Like November.

I looking at more like a October 2012 Debut.

Any one know of an unloved/unwanted RS125 chassis? That would allow me to retain both all my limbs and remain fully clothed.

[F5 Dave]

yeah I know, too close, but hopefully I'll have my interim engine going moderately ok by then, my good engine will be some time off & some $ I don't have yet. Aim mid 20s, that should have me near the sharp end of the field.

Normal sized (and ahem,senior ), people can't fit on RS125's...from personal observation I can verify Dave is, shall we say vertically challenged....That's the pilot the RS125 was designed for.

Surely there's some fast kid on the coast you can proudly stand behind.

I am only 5'7'
PS a RS125 would be like a Goldwing compared to my old MB10

My son is about 4 years of a dispensation for track riding. So there is a chance it might be finished in time.
but To tell you the truth the youth of today are more into playing video games.

I did see this kid (Dylan Walsh) not a coaster mind you but if someone could teach him to slow a little when he leading by miles.
Watch out this kid should be put on a Road racer to see what happens. Note his lap times on a 85 in the 125 class one of the fastest riders inc mx1 and 2

Hmm, Will I get my body ready in time for Taupo?

Hmm, Will I get my body ready in time for Taumarunui?

fixed it for you

[koba]

I'm going up there to have a few beers and a camp.

I may race if I feel up to it. I may smash you on the track and blow you into the weeds.

am I? Gee I didn't notice. Buddy I'm 5'8" (& a little bit) that's average height, or sort of near it.

The RS is a struggle & first time I rode one I couldn't change down gear until I'd forced myself back in the seat. I've raised the seat about 40-50mm & lowered the pegs/brought them forward about a same amount so it is now similar dimensions to my old RG50.

Even so at the BOB I took about 2 min getting off the bike & another 10 walking up & down the pits to get some movement back. They are meant for teenage 5' sub 60kgers. I'm taller, almost 80kg & housed in over 40s chassis.

So I am in fact shorter than Dave!
Shit everyone always says he is some sort of Dwarf?
What does that make me?

Anyone got the width of the rear mounts of a RS125 frame pre 95?
Center to center in mm between them (rear two mounts) would be nice as well if pos.

[Moooools]

Only one rear mount on the nf4 frame I think you wil find.
Can't tell you the width sorry.

As for the height I believe that makes you very angry.

That explains a lot the misses is about 5 foot 0

and without errr....chips on both my shoulder's i could indeed have been a 6 footer I guess.
I don't Know how I missed the one mount at the rear maybe its now rare to see one that isn't been attacked with a grinder and welder I guess.
