Don't tell him that. Enough gas for five and a half laps would be perfect.

Weighing Chambers 22.5 rwhp FZR-GP100, 42kg front, 40Kg rear, total 82kg dry. Sure we have to fit a seat and handle bars yet, but we can see some things we can do to remove more weight too, like changing the rear caliper for a light weight pit bike unit. So hopefully when its all finished it will be 80kg all up, dry. Those wire wheels make a big difference, I think FXR150's are about 18rwhp on a good day, but how much do they weigh?

Interesting. I am building a new bike at the mo as well. RGV VJ 22 with me FXR motor and RS125 wheels I am hoping for 80kg and 24hp Deadline is Taupo. I will post some pic's when I have something interesting to show at the mo I am drilling the crap out of the swing arm and hacking up the frame. I will have some dyno charts after BOB.

Make sure to drill plenty of holes around the steering head and cut off any unnecessary frame braceing too. Replaceing steel axel and swingarm bolts with plastic ones saves heaps too.

Sounds the biz, I am looking forward to the dyno charts and a few pics and vital stats, if poss, Taupo is the must do meeting for us as there are so many interesting bikes, looking forward to seeing you there if you can make it.

Would love to get to the BOB, thinking of flying down just to spectate and meet a few of the interesting KiwiBiker people and put a few faces to the online names.......

Don't know about faster. Just keen to finish this time!

I will take some photos in the next couple of days and post them. I plan on fitting an ignitech ignition before BOB. How is the software side of things, eazy to use? Now that BOB is mid year it would be great if there was a massive field bring the Team.

Thanks, the photos will be interesting and the team would love to get to the BOB.

I dug up a previous post for you on setting up Ignitech ignitions.

“Save the stuffing around and go buy one of these digital, programmable ignitions http://www.ignitech.cz/english/aindex.htm originally posted by K14 ”

We have taken K14’s advice and purchased a digital/programable DC-CDIP 2 Race 2-Stroke IgniTech ignition.

“This is about the latest RACE Ignitech and our ignition systems: http://www.twostrokeshop.com/ignitech_race.htm

Here is an article showing how to modify the RZ hardware to allow use of the Ignitech twin cdi module, eliminating the wasted spark system and giving full control over all electronic functions. http://www.twostrokeshop.com/ignitech.htm “.


The setup info was found on the Two-Stroke Shop www.twostrokeshop.com site.

There are also units for 4-Stroke, they can be purchased from The Two-Stroke Shop or directly from IgniTech. http://www.ignitech.cz/english/aindex.htm

.

Setup info here:- http://www.twostrokeshop.com/ignitech_race.htm and http://www.twostrokeshop.com/ignitech.htm

Once I got my head around the "Base Advance" bit shown in the pics below the rest was easy. You need a laptop with a serial port or USB/Serial emulator(which didn't work well for us), the laptop can be left connected to the bike while its running and changes made on the fly. So you can make quick changes between dyno runs.

The actual software can be down loaded from here for free http://www.ignitech.cz/english/aindex.htm we have the dccdip2_en version.

I suggest, if you get a unit like ours that you have the plug pre-wired with 2m flying leads, saves a lot of hassle.

Cheers great help good to see the app side.

I emailed ignitech a while ago after first seeing your posts on the products and they have a Plug and play unit available. Just got to get the cash together and we are cooking.

I forgot yours will be for a 4-stroke, still software setup much the same I guess. We found it difficult talking with them by email, had to keep the questions/replies short and only one at a time and to the point.

When we ordered we sent pictures scraped of their sight of the items we wanted. We found the language barrier a little difficult but they were always trying to be helpful. Top lot I recon...........

I built this frame for my bucket. So far it handles very well. The rear monoshock is far superior to the old twin shock. Roll on Bears winter series.

Old Hondas never die.

Total weight 74 Kg.

Check it out.......74Kg......150cc........Looks Good.............

Is this a down draft carburettor or what. I found a 28mm carb that has a bit of a down draft angle to it and hoped to use it on the 50 as the barrel has a steep down draft angle to the inlet tract.

The possible problem is the angle of the float bowl, I had hoped it would be level like Chambers one is, but mine is tipped up, So I hope it can still be made to work, tipped up like that.

[F5 Dave]

Haha, good luck with that. First time I set up my RG all happened in about a couple of weeks before the GP many moons ago when I had blown up my MB50 for the last time & decided to do an RG a mate sold me. I set up the carb fairly similar with the engine on the bench. Looked good. - Then put it in the frame & noticed it cantered forward. Oh dear.

Take it from experience, live with the bend, get that float flat. That first GP it had run well on the dyno but wouldn't run around a track.

Also while you are sawing off that manifold weld on a flat plate & use a GP125 inlet rubber (actually it will be super tight & an X7 one I think is bigger) but that will stop it falling off at the critical moment. . . . Unless of course you know better.

That front vent(?) on the carb is odd, I've had many of those Mik flatsides & never seen that. I'd check out what it is & decide whether to block it.

That vent, first time I noticed it, was tonight while posting up the photos.

Looks like I have been caught out by the same thing too.

All the cylinders I have are other peoples cast offs, guess someone got the downdraft angle wrong and I didn't notice until I put the motor in the bike, it looked OK on the bench.

I have another cylinder that someone had started to convert to full reed, might have to finish it and use that one instead.
