    Umm, not sure he wasn't undertaking me, and it wasn't practice? Either that or lining up 43 and 44???
    I don't recall overtaking anyone (and definitely not lapping), but then again, I do suffer alzheimers/dimentia, so better stories always appreciated hehehe

    Getting there, but it's going to be a close call being ready for Hampton Downs on the 17th.

    Skimming the outside of a KX125 stator plate to fit the GP engine.

    Attachment 221169

    Boring the inside so the stator plate clears crank seal housing.

    Attachment 221168

    All fits very nicely and the trigger coil sits nicely in the housing.

    Attachment 221166

    Chambers has made some very nice looking engine plates for TeeZee.

    Attachment 221167

    The motor slots right in and my pipe fits too.

    Attachment 221170

    Looks the part......now to see if we can get it to go..........

    The air filter it's at the bottom of the rubbish bin. How can you call it a majic vacume cleaner if it has a filter on the frount

    Hot slicks and rolling into the pits after practice, left hand turn a fist full of pea gravel into the carb and you might rethink its name? It looks great and after riding the same framed FXR powered bikes down here good choice for the likes of HD and Taupo.

    Spent an interesting evening with a fellow F5 rider at a motorcycle shop watching the mechanic run my F5 buddys RG50 up. Best couple of hundy he has ever spent my friend recons.....

    It was informative to watch a bike that felt like it ran ok at the track, being tuned on the dyno.

    Retarding the ignition about 12 degrees and dropping two jet sizes found another hp and fattend the curve up.

    The dyno guy said, over advanced and over rich to compensate is a common problem with bikes tuned by the seat-of-the-pants method.

    been there, done that myself .........

    shucks you could buy a new project for a couple hundy! hard to argue with those improvements tho.
    I'm taking a guess that you need a fancy pants ignition/coil to adjust timing? or is there some mechanical way to do so.
    (it is far too early for me to attempt figuring out such enigmas)

    Looks like a lot of runs, good improvement though. That gain on the upslope will be real noticeable. Retarding the timing puts heat in the pipe in the higher revs effectively shortening it with the result you see - it keeps making power. 12 degrees is heaps, you should have been able to hear that at the track, it would have sounded flat and not revved freely.

    No its not a digital programable, just an old 80's YZ125 ignition, it may have some built in retard but I don't know for sure.

    Its an example of how seat of the pants can fool you.........
