    Dave, if I ever let my 50 get to zero on the track you have my permission to kick my ass, I have always wondered why TZee lets his bikes off the power when he dyno's them, in real life you keep them on the boil at all cost.

    Um, I just mean if the graph starts at zero every time, even if the curve starts at 8000 when you push the button at least you can see on the same scale rather than one curve started at 10,000 which always looks betterer
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    How's this build getting on Tim?
    Spent a little more time on mounting the old am6 in the frame today.
    Had it running, but it won't get on the pipe for some reason? No idea why.

    Curious also, my dream bike for the kart tracks has always been a GP style frame/riding position with a hot rod scooter CVT engine.

    TeeZee magic touch

    The first time we put the new 50 on the dyno it made 14 and a bit on a OKO 24, the fueling was a bit off and it didnt sound awesome so I returned today with a genuine PWK 28 nand set about jetting it on the dyno. After a few changes and a little drilling out of the air correction jet it ran pretty well up to 16.1 BHP at the wheel with 6.7 torques to go with it. Pretty damn pleased, the next thing will be to replace the piston and rings and the insert as both are a little battle worn.

    Air correction change for response or spread at full? Should be fun on the track.

    Tz was trying to fatten up the midrange I think, I spent most of my time changing jets so can’t remember how the curve was affected

    smit 50 ese

    My 50 is pretty much ready for the GP
    I have a question for the 2t gurus, I have some exhaust spacers to make the pipe longer, has anyone done any testing on this? The pipe seems to be working ok as is but just keen to know what happens when you lengthen it?
    I have also replaced the complete braking system on the front as it had a nasty tendency to throw me on my face at completely random times, if I trail braked in 90% of the time it was fine but on occasion it would lock the front wheel up and spit me off with lightening speed, no indication no warning just a puff of tyre smoke and bang. It had a after market wavy disc that had some serious slots and the theory was that maybe the pads were jamming into them, I had previously taken the caliper apart and cleaned n lubed it, thought I had it fixed until it bit me again in race 2 at Edgecombe. NF4 set up by the way, has anybody else had this happen?
    Looking forward to the GP as I get to ride ESE's brilliant 110 and my ESE Smit50 both in NF4 frames.

    Cool.

    Header extension will only really work if your original header is too short, if its already close it will just make peak revs lower and all that entails. I had a pipe which adding an extra gasket did help so I extended the manifold.

    Brakes, well these are likely old so you need to revisit everything.

    I hate Chinese discs. Check with pointer taped to fork that it is straight. I'd ask how worn rivets are on an old disc, but. . .
    Try find a std CBR400 disc I think worked, plenty of Honda crossovers.

    Take caliper apart, pump pistons out, flick out seals carefully with flat pick. Clean up and clean the grooves the seals live in. They grow white oxide and that has to be removed or it pushes the seals out. Carefully pick out with flat pick trying not to scratch the shit out of it.

    A brass brush on a dremel can make good job on this. Inspect bores. Any corrosion? Light wet and dry fine with lube. Brake clean spotless.

    Honestly appraise the pistons. Clean up with autosol. Maybe carefully with scotch plastic pad. But anything going into the seal area needs to be mint. You can buy aftermarket pistons and seals.

    Inspect seals with magnifier. Often the main flat seals are fine with sharp edges but the dust seals are important too and need to be square and unworn. Replace if in doubt.

    Pads worn angled, replace. You can buy aftermarket pad retainer pins, take the old ones into shop that has decent dirtbike spares range. Check parts diagram and replace missing springclips or rebend them so they push lightly on pads.

    Check there isn't too much wear on the sliding section and it moves freely. Should be lubed with rubber grease or high temp copperslilp.

    Inspect brake line not manky.

    Last but not least, the master cylinder. The wrong lever will only just open the return hole as it is always slightly on. If this is the case, when it gets hot it can block the hole enough to close it or at least leave it on a second longer perhaps.

    Make sure there is some play. I've had to dress to make clearance before. Check correct bolt at pivot and lube. With this all done check the lever stroke. It should be smooth and stepless . Any jerkiness is trouble.

    Inspect master rubber doofer on the cap for tears and clean out the vents in cap.

    Fill with new fluid, bleed.

    All this can be done in a night, likely trip to bike shop or online if time, and another put it back together session. All easy as if take your time. All is better than crashing.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.
