really looking forward to riding the bike like it was meant to!

haha i was just about to order some v-force 3 reeds as well, but the bloody engine check light came on in our murano and it wants $1k worth of catalytic convertor so guess further performance upgrades for the bike are on hold for a while (note to anyone reading this - nissans are very reliable, but bloody expensive to fix!)

cut the cat out or bash out the inside it will just be blocked

yeh, I always prefered track over trail, two strokes seem to be a lot more suited to track as well I reckon. And you can take a break every few laps!

seem to be lucky to get out every second month atm though, so my riding endurance is shot, technique seems to be improving though

If you're ever in need of a riding bud for the track gimme a holla

yeah i would if i coudl get to it, but i'd need a hoist, and even then i think it would still trip the engine light cause of the bloody oxygen sensor! if there is no change between the upstreem and downstream it will register a fault too i think. all the technology in new cars is just rubbish!

drilling holes in the power valves wtf were they thinking , good score on the new cyl it's sure to run a heap better with all its bits working properly.

bloody annoying though - got the cylidner this evening, and realised that i either need new stud bolts or need to get someone to remove the old ones from one of the cylinders cause i dont have the tools to, and ditto for the powervavle bearing! bugger, i was looking forward to doing it tonight!

you tried putting doing up two nuts on a stud to get it out?
