Preparing a road legal FXR150 for Bucket racing

[Ray LeCheminant]

Couple of dozen woodstock sounds great! not that i can help much, but ill still take the woody's

Seriously though, i'm quite keen on help with various things too (wiring, fork setup, exhaust hacking etc) so im happy to provide boxes of whatever for help

Always willing for accept help....no one want to come to Pukekohe though...LOL

[Ray LeCheminant]

I can help with fork set-up, ive got a tool to take out the oil witohut sliding the forks out of the tripple clamp, and ive done it a few times on bikes,Also i can help with exhaust's ive just build my cbr125 one.

Thanks Max - might take you up on the forks once we have it up and running/

Doing some strange stuff - batter went dead for some reason today.

Would not kick over with kick start for a while, then it did - worn gear or something

Jump started it from the car - ran it for a while but battery still dead.....

Inverted and changed handlebars - easier than I thought.....want to do away with choke, but will wait until I get the GN250 carb on it....

Missed out on a paddock stand on TM tonight (PISSED OFF) , I want that so I can put it on up on stands and take wheels off....getting their slowly!

If oyu want i can bring the gear to do the foRks to you, and do it these holidays wHILE im not busy, you'd get suprised what good set-up suspension does for your bike even on a kart track.

Progress:

Thanks Pumba for the wiring diagram - helped heaps!!

Wiring done, a little final tidy up to do, mainly the multiple earths and coil wires.

Rectifier mounted on airbox mounts , relay(fuse) bracket carefully extracted from chassis and arc welded onto inside of frame.....

Just got to find a location for the CDI unit now......

Next trick - Exhaust!!!

look good, but if oyu can get hold of a gn250 carb, they fit on easily and dont require much modification to get wroking well.

[Scotty595]

Yeah GN250 carb is cheap and easy, literally took me 5 minutes. didnt even need to adjust the throttle cable.

yup, you'll notice a top speed increase too.

[Ray LeCheminant]

Just to find one.........

Hi Ray
All I have done with my FXR is add an XR400 carb (probably a bit big - it bogs at low revs) and slick tyres on the standard wheels (with tubes). I also added CRF250R dirt-bike handlebars (required new throttle cable and brake line) after bending the FXR bars. The rest is totally standard. I still have the speedo, electric start and standard exhaust. My biggest problem is the exhaust as it scrapes on the track even after moving to the inside of the mount and adding spacers. So, you don't need to do much to go racing. The most important change was the tryes. My exhaust has to go! I have a dirt-bike pipe ready to cut but I need a downpipe. Anyone any suggestions on a downpipe?

Damien
