Rules re engine mods?

[F5 Dave]

Yes I meant the KV as no.3 but they aren't that different bottom end wise are they?

Bucketracer, thanks for letting me use your drill, and pieces, thanks to you i was able to race and get 5th. -Max

Hi Max, it was my Dad TeeZee that helped you out, I was hanging out watching my brother Buckets4me, Zebra and the rest of the gang racing, glad to hear you got a good place and enjoyed yourself.

i think when you look at the rules 'derived' has some importance. we had a guy running a CRF150R (not F) piston in a CB engine.. probably OK by the rules and not a huge advantage given it probably did not suit the head well anyway, but very cool to talk about in the pits. It's mostly fun and no one protests much if at all, some high strung 2 strokes around are very race orientated but then they cost more to get the power in time and money. Personally i would like to see a full on 85cc MX (or CRF150R)engine class within F4.

Oh dear we've covered this ad infinitum ad nauseum. Would skyrocket prices as MX bikes are shcrapnel before they get to a wrecker so you'd have to buy a going bike, then the bikes would get newer etc etc.

The class as is works well & has done for well over 20 years.

Much as I like the idea of mx based buckets I haveto agree that it would turn into a chequebook based arms race. Mind you the RS125 chassis with the aprilla 550 motor running in F3 at Taupo was a cool piece of kit so there are other classes to pursue this concept in already.

there is also talk of a SUPER bucket class coming
mind you it's only talk and been going on for a few years
30-40hp buckets around MtWellington

I totally agree. (although I have always wanted to ride a late model MX powered bucket...)

An Fxr is sure a quick and easy option, and to be recomended if quick and easy is what you need.

The GP, not so hard to tune but at the end of the day they do handle like crap and we havn't figured out how to get them good yet, but we will.

O.K, I'll put my 2€'s in.....

It's my understanding that most of the ESE (what does ESE stand for by the way) team has RS125 framed,GP125 powered buckets.........

Has Dave Manule (sp) tried one of these?

When I was riding a TZ250, Dave was riding the shit out of an old RS250 (leaving far more modern machinery behind), and that would suggest that he could prove your point quite well.

Hey its Joe! Think there is another one of these engines being built down here to find a home in an RS125 chassis, KE bottom end, RG400 top! Should be good!!

[RDjase]

I like two strokes though

Good Man

Them funny motors with them valve things in the cylinder head will never catch on

[Schrgd]

thats my point.. there were non

And that was my point, The CURRENT breed seem to doing what has previously mentioned, to the point fxr's now have "model specific" classes just for them!!

Which, as you've said, there weren't previously!

Thats all I was trying to say.

I'm not saying all, as that obviously isn't the case, but a lot.

we don't have that problem down here... we're all gentlemen/women racers....

[jasonu]

The cases and covers look different and I think they are a 5 spd. Definitely different internals.
