    Forget "making" a slipper clutch. The problem most people have at some time is stopping it slipping. If you have a problem with the rear when downshifting there are two better options for a bucket - 1:reduce crankshaft inertia/mass by fitting a smaller ignition flywheel from something like a YZ80, which will also get you a good ignition for when you hot it up and 2:don't downshift so bloody hard.

    The problem I used to have when I first started was that I could slow down so fast that I couldn't actually blip the throttle quick enough for the downchanges causing a mismatch between engine and rear wheel. With heaps of compression and a light flywheel the motor got real responsive and the problem went away.

    Good to meet you guys (and get out on the track). Not too bad as a first time out I think (hope).

    Think I need to do something with my 'automatic' gearbox though, that was really starting to piss me off...

    Maybe the clutch too - one that engages WHEN you let the lever out could be good.

    Awesome weather. Pity I was feeling a little under it, but a stag do the night before will do that to you.

    I arrived late, really didn’t feel up to much & then tried to learn the cct in the first couple of races. Still takes some nerve to get confident to lean so far with those tiny stones in strategic places despite the sweeping.

    Then my bike went gzissssh! Sounded like the flywheel falling off. Checked that & it was ok. Got home & took the airbox cover off to find the carb had fallen off!


    Didn’t sound anything like bwoooarr you’d expect. Plugged it back in & just fine.

    Oh well.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.
