Yes 4 strokes are for homos. Homo-sapiens that is, who have realized bigger is better.

What is the latest time that we can get there to sign in?
Up on 1 to save on tyre costs
Yeah I will be there. Having a few issues with the bike though. The new carb is bogging and with the new slick I have on the back (which is the softer B compound rather than the one I am used to which is the harder C compound) I am having far too many slides. I was testing at the track the other day and I can't find grip with it mid corner or exiting most corners. Will need some expert help I think. Probably with suspension too I guess.

what pressure are you running? There is the option that the slick is toasted or too old.

The slick is next to brand spanking new! Was an awesome find. Got the front and rear for $100 and they were only a couple of laps old straight from a 125gp bike. I was having this problem last time at Kaitoke when Fish was there and Adrian. I went from 20psi down to 17psi (Fish said to give it a go) and it seemed to have remedied the problem mostly. Any slides I was having were mostly very small and at least half were because I was riding sloppy. But I don't think this slick likes to work on a cold track/at low temperatures. Frustration!!

odd, for a kart track that should be fine if at the low end.
. . . so, why did he take them off the 125? Same problem?

The reason was because the guy running the 125 changed sponsorship to Bridgestone so the sticky new Dunlops were all mine! Too bad I can't get it to grip. I have never had slides like this before. I usually have bugger all slides in an entire day really. I haven't been going faster lately either. Probably the other way actually from the lack of riding. I did notice my rear suspension was on the 2nd to lowest preload setting out of 4 settings. Could that be bad?
