    lol.. no one shows up to race in south island in the first place so bit tricky to get advice from other racers down there..

    anyway will play with setup later when we have a test day or two.

    brakes are gone and cant get fluid through the lines, wish i had vacuum bottle and compressor here grrr

    i only got it not long before going north and wasnt riding it fast enough to slide. (edit: i also just assumed its my shit riding making it understeer lol) once we got to 1.55 it was noticeable it pushed front on right handers. Phil moving forward at hampers made a noticeable difference. anyway the old girl goes ok

    in the wet it handles how i like tho front sticks back slides

    We're getting it as good as we can, but essentially it's gonna take so much mongrel to get decent times, I might have to copy the way Scrivy and Bob's outfit turns inside out.

    Jay, it appears, just rides what was brung & makes up for mechanical inadequecay with a bottomless supply of raw talent.
    The front king pin was virtually absolutely straight up & down, meaning that the tyre was turning dead flat on the ground & it was running off the outside edge, the tyre wear confirms this too.

    That should have made it twitchy as all fuck even in a straight line as well though

    Nothing to do with it being twitchy, if it was too straight up and down it'd be all over the place even in a straight line

    I thought Kai's also complained that his steering was heavy as fuck. Another symptom completely at odds to zero castor.

    Understeer turning right, whilst on the gas, is not a set up issue. Unless weight bias is adjustable on the Agip, but things are gonna get ugly if you mount the motor on the steering stem.

    Really? Seems pretty extreem to me.

    What rule states you have to have both hands on the bars, and how come that motard rider is allowed to ride if there is one?
