**woodyracer** · 20th January 2010, 20:16

Stripped the bike down now, the bike is now running a straight exhaust, and nows ready for the track!

After the bike has showed it is fast enoguh to take out A-grade ive done a few things to the bike {this is for someone wanting to build a cbr125 f4 bike}

*stripped it down {lights,indicators,other crap}
*taken off muffler, it works great with a straight pipe
*RAPID ART nz clip on's
*demon crash bungs
*125gp slicks
*raised billet foot pegs
*race shift

Cant wait for mt welly, but unfortunaly i wont be goign to royshil anymore because ive got to concentrate on my ss150 racing.

Wish the best for 2010 buckets.

......and a muffler, it wont go any better, it will just be louder and give you the impression of it being faster.......LOUDER is not faster!

trust me with no muffler it is faster, also the foot pegs dont have to fold, as john connors dont fold, but ill put nylon on them.

Are you sure its not too loud?

Singles need a little bit of back pressure don't they? Im thinking No Muffler = bad idea.

I would think its about 500mm to long. And way to loud. And just still a 125 4 bagger. Back pressure not an issue correct length and header size is the big one.

**woodyracer** · 21st January 2010, 13:24

no, its got plenty of back pressure, as at the end of the pipe it coems to a tip, also its not loud at all.......i heard several FXR's at the TRRS which were louder.

singles deffinitly need back pressure, but it seems to have enoguh at the moment. It sonds healthy and has still got good throttle response.

Don't listen to Rich, I heard he had the slowest 4 stroke at the TRRS. Instead put your faith in urban myths.

Mmmm . . . mythalicious.

**saxet** · 21st January 2010, 14:10

C'mon Dave, don't STRANGLE the conversation. Or should I GET A GRIP on myself?

**richban** · 21st January 2010, 14:20

To true. I must try and make it go faster. I was thinking of some exhaust mods. Back pressure you say, well!

**jasonu** · 21st January 2010, 15:03

Loud doesn't equal fast. At Mt Welli you won't be allowed to ride if you are too loud.
Don't be a dickhead, get a decient muffler. A proper raceing muffler that will make your ride legal will be hardly noticeable power wise. If you don't believe it, go to John Connors dyno and do compareing runs. Post the results here for all to see.

I got a bit of 'back pressure' I might be able to spare..... Yeah, I wouldn't listen to any of these guys woodyracer, in fact surely you can remove more stuff. I mean, you dont need footpegs, just keep your legs off the ground and you sure as hell wont need a battery. In fact you might want to put a smaller carb on it and take the air box off it too! Oh oh oh, if you were really serious you would also get smaller rims and take all the unnecessary spokes of them. Also if you get tyres with only a small amount of rubber on them that'll help with the weight issue too.

Oh man, you are soo gonna rock the track!!

**woodyracer** · 21st January 2010, 15:23

Whilst I am concerned that you have to ask I feel compelled to tell you, yes I was being sarcastic!

What I should have said was; you should listen to the advice given to you by the peole who bucket race now. Noise and damage to the track is a big factor in why we lose locations to bucket race. TBH, I think that it is better to have fold up pegs as if you do scrape them they wont dig into the ground and flip you off. As for the muffler, even of they do let you on the track with the noise do what you want but you sure as hell best not come on here complaining when your bike aint running right cause these mean old guys will give you so much shit you might cry.
Also, you still have so much to learn and if your one goal is "to take out A Grade" then you may miss out on learning things that will help you race both in buckets and on 'big' tracks. I have seen you ride and while you are fast you still have much to learn about how to do it well. Yes, you beat me in one race but you also crashed right in front of me i another. The only way you are ever going to be a really fast rider is when you learn to be, not when you rely on a bike to make you fast.

That said, I think that you have the potential to go far. You, like myself just need to learn to listen and accept and practice the things that people tell you.

Good luck mate, hoep to see you in SS150 for the Nationals Support rcae at Manfeild?
