Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

We race long tracks, not Kart tracks, so we have a bit more time to get them cranked up

Nah, just South Island riders are much faster :eyepoke:op:
now where's some dirt!
Yeah well only the ones who actually know how to maintain a bike and not have it break down every 5 minsNah, just South Island riders are much faster :eyepoke:

Use the skinniest sticky tyres you can get to fit, something like an 80 or 90x17. Even there with modern tyre construction technically you will need 2.15" rims, technically. In reality you can get away with smaller ones.
Top speeds on Mt Wellington are around 80kph. At Taupo the best buckets are only marginally slower than the RGV150s but do similar lap times because of better ground clearance. My old bucket with 19.9hp was probably good for about 150k, the current one with 22.5hp is good for a bit over 160k. When you look at it in the garage with it's little skinny forks and furniture tube frame it's a bit scary, but out on the track it seems just fine.
gee wizzz
Ive seen the bucket track in wellywood now and I must say Ive changed my opinion a tadd.
Mt wellington track in auckland is a very tight track with only one straight to wind the bike up. From what ive seen of the welly track its got bigger faster corners and straights to suit a bike perhaps with wider tyres.
I think a GP125 chasis would be the best bet for wellywood.0and Taupo for that matter.

I agree, I was on the same track as HC and found it all too easy to get the pegs touching the ground. In fact found it difficuilt to keep them off, looks like i gotta get my arse off the seat and stick my knee's out more

Skinny tyres also have the benefit of not having to lean the bike over so far to go the same speed round a corner. All to do with where the contact patch moves to in relation to the centre line of the bike when the bike is cranked over.

Most open class buckets in Wellington use NSR250 frames etc and I race a 125 and they do not have skinny wee tyres

They have Skinny wee tyres compared to most other bikes,most buckets down here run RS front slicks front and rear
The NSR frames etc seem to big long and heavy to me, especially for the short tracks

I'm comparing them to the 120 front 180 rear that 'his dads GSXR' will have

Yep. I think I've sorted his theory on that. You know - bigger tyre + bigger grip. Not.

You can get it over more it comes down to the chassis I want a rs chassis but any alloy chassis is good. I understand what you mean now. But getting back to the actual subject (This website is bad for this you start a thread about building a bucket and it gets sidetracked) I want to know if anyone is running a AG100 and what sort of expansion chamber design do you run. I have a book called two stroke performance tuning thanks to F5Dave. My AG100 is going to be mounted in a MB100 chassis
