    For some fucked up reason this bike holds the same intrigue to me as VMX does to you. Although, your RM would probably smash it
    I stayed sober too. NOT.

    VMX you say? Hah...just purchased another Red Rocket...check this puppy out...still the original tyres and all...Click image for larger version.

    OK. So after a bit of a compression bump and various other little tricks, we now have the bike making what we consider to be acceptable power for the 2.15 Inch wide rear wheel to handle at the streets. Unfortunately, the stock clutch has told us to get fucked and tosses its toys anywhere from 1/3rd throttle & 6000rpm. So that's gotta be sorted.

    Other than that, it's some suspension modifications, new tyres and this puppy's ready to rock and roll.

    Sum total speant thus far.

    Bike = $50.00
    New Battery = $80.00
    New brake pads = $80.00
    Bolts and other shit = $5.00
    Oil and filter = $45.00

    Total = $260.00

    Is there a prize for the least expensive bike on the grid?

    I reckon it'll actually be more fun 'round Wanga's than a Superbike too. Has it got a zorst? We'll probably hear you giggling like Michael Jackson on a school bus as you go 'round.

    Hey dude! Did you just price some tyres for Pete? Hoping to do Wanganui but it'll be tough with 4 kids in tow. We'll see though.

    We're aiming to have the bike complete and safely on the track for under $700.

    Can't be fucken worse than the last time I raced there on a Superbike, that's for sure.

    You'be be hard pressed to hear anything over the camchain rattle to be perfectly honest. We've been working hard to ensure the thing's oiltight and not likely to spew or rupture. Drew's still got to fashion a zorst that's better looking than the horible fucking Cycleworks one it's currently blessed with.

    You're riding a farkin GSX550 and you're worried about what the exhaust looks like

    And what's with the new brake pads? Couldn't you get some s/hand?

    That's Suzuki's version of variable valve timing.

    Pull the plates and measure the fibres if they're within spec check the steels for warping and if they're ok get them sand/bead blasted, measure the springs for spec as well, if they're ok put it back together otherwise after market springs are bugger all

    The LC was on the grid at Wangas for $1000, looks like you'll beat that

    Don't worry, I usually slide right off the track.
    As for the clutch, the cheap fix is usually just stick another steel in there.
