list of stuff for race prep, add your fav tips an tricks


ive been doing some prep work on my bike for taupo on 10th,
ive had my pissing oil fork seals replaced an new brake pads all round,

its quite surprising i can do stoppies now, brakes work!

ripped opff wind visor and all fairings in attemp at weight reduction,

im currently looking at making my throttle go from idle to full throttle in a tiny turn of wrist, not the 5 and a half revolutions it currently takes....... anyone know how?

im going to make my helmet like knew againh, get out the spray gun an spray over those nasty cracks that are reside around left ear down to chin from when nasty little coppers knocked me off

anyone know of where to get av gas in taupo early on a sunday morning?

oh and of course

nice one on the brakes.. may be get rid of the parachute on the back..??

Ripping off your windsheild and farings probably won't save you a heap of weight, but what it does save will probably be lost in wind resistance. You'll have nothing to tuck behind. Then again, Taupo isn't much of a speed track, so you might not need to..

As for the throttle, you can get reducer kits which will reduce your turn of the wrist. Tad hard to explain, but can be done. If you can figure it out, you could probably knock something together yourself. Effectively, you need to exaggerate/magnify the turn of the throttle, but don't over do it so that it becomes unrideable..

for the throttle i seen in fast bikes magazine that j in there put a thing on his throttle grip. i think it must work like a cam. instead of being round it might be cam shaped. it was made by hairy rs called 1/5 throttle turn and was 25 quid. it was way cheaper than all the other ways of doing it.

hmmm I think I am under prepared. I was gonna dig out the chain oil and oil the chain. Then maybe clean the bike

I'm doing absolutely nothing, apart from printing and filling out my subway order form

..

not really an attempt at weight saving, more a my fairings are all cracked cause they come in contact with things stronger than themselve every njow an then an then someone smashes them off with a hammer toi even it up.

I'll make sure that I'm no where near you when you are on the track...

I just spent $1600 on getting my race bike ready for this

oh I kinda expect to, it comes up so bloody quick, I can almost do it before the end of my drive! I just wasn't sure if a 250 would be concentrating on speed over getting round the turns quicker..
you gonna show me the way then?

You inspired me. New front brake pads today. Air box out and cleaned the K/N. Must get some flushing fluid and oil for it. Plugs out and reset. Darn they looked good. Nice colour but big gaps so reset and installed. Drag down the drive and the new front brake pads are stoppy material. Think I better ride this week to get the pads bedded in. Got to love the track days to get the work done. Oil and filter later this week. Think it might get synthetic as the rev limiter seems to get used on the track. Wish I could see the tacko on this fecking bike.
See you in Taupo.
