Sweet i pm you my cellphone # txt me when you find out

[Ivan]

My bike is running perfgect now all I have done is added a cold air intake system. I put a vacuum hose of the back of the carb and ran it out to the front next to the radiator and have got a new seat for it. A RS250 tail fairing attached to the standered seat brackets. You wouldnt believe how much extra power this has brought. I mean i got it up to 3rd gear up the drive way no sweat in the powert band the hole time. My next big aim for the motor is to port it and add a sliper clutch then my bucket bike will be a fairly fast rocket ship about as fast as what Jays bike was last year I hope

f5 dave what hav you done to your motor clutch wise

[F5 Dave]

If you want a ‘slipper’ clutch, they do that standard after a whole lot of miles.

But taking pity, if you don’t want it to slip the setup is late model DT175 springs (5) & (4) TS125 clutch plates which are thinner & allow an extra plate to the (3) std RG ones (need one more steel too).

[Ivan]

sweet will talk to you this weekend if you are there. I do want a slipper clutch as I have jays old RS125 anbd want basically similar setup

[F5 Dave]

Slipper clutches are really a recent development for overly aggressive engine braking 4 strokes (motoGP & supermotard are obvious). Never good to fire down the gears too aggressively on any bike as you may drive the engine revs higher than redline even with the throttle shut.

The Slipper clutch is located in your left glove.

In the sort of corner (hairpin) you have to bang it down several gears quickly, -Only ½ release it until the revs are likely to be fine (braking has slowed you down) & at which stage you are applying a bit of throttle to unweight the front anyway.

Hope to make it to GM, but the night before is my stag do so we'll see how I feel.

oh nah thats cool i just want to learn how you keep the revs the way you do i mean your bike is just going MEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH EHHHHH EHHH

and myne is BUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHH AHHHHHHH just gutless even ringing its neck out but on the 125 i am constant power band i just cant seem to get the RG to do it, the motor is standered

Oh well more points for me if you dont make it you are 2 points ahead of me HAha
