as does the barametric pressure and humidity.
note. most regional councils / metservice monitor barametric pressure and humidity & temperature
- also if there is a Airport near by you can generally ring them or find their web site (small air feilds are the best) , its worth noting down the pressure for the day to sort out your own jet chart.

I'll dig out the web sites and post them soon

Following up on my last tread -
manfeild - http://www.horizons.govt.nz/maps/map.asp I'll make sure that real time barametric pressure will be on the site after christmas. or visit
http://www.metservice.co.nz/default/...lmerston_north
note its nearly always 0.5 degrees warmer in feilding if the wind isn't blowing.

Auckland - http://www.metservice.co.nz/default/...alias=auckland

and so on.
the humidity, temp and barametric pressure is on the mid left hand side and is updated every 3 hours. not that much use if you want really defind information but its better than nothing.

Racey Rider:You dont need to to piss round with jets (only if its a serious problem) I raced my RG 150 for two years and never touched the jet and never had problem.

Use 96 pump fuel,leave all airbox covers on and dont cut holes.

**Sketchy_Racer** · 29th December 2005, 22:14

yea but yours is a suzuki..... his is a Krapasaki..... it neeeeeeds maintanice

(pt)

**Ivan** · 30th December 2005, 20:16

your not even aloud to do a thing to airbox on street stock either

**RG150&SV650#96** · 30th December 2005, 20:50

Your only reviving a shitty old horse racing the KR spend yah time and money on an RG and you will find your riding skills will rise.

**Sketchy_Racer** · 30th December 2005, 21:38

Ditto on above.

ive learnt this, The hard way

**Racey Rider** · 2nd January 2006, 08:31

Interesting thoughts. Care to back it up with some facts and figures??

I have heard just as many people say that KR,s are fast as those saying KR's are slow. Kr's seem to have done well in the past. Last years top 2 Vic Champ riders were on KR,s. Not saying your wrong, but lets hear the reasons.

Racey.

PS. Also looking for some bigger jets to try now.
Keihin PWK 28mm carb.
Jets wanted are N424-36 in size 142 & 145

**Sketchy_Racer** · 2nd January 2006, 08:40

screw the facts and figures...

are you getting your arse kicked down the straights?? if so get the same thing as whatever is beating you.

**Racey Rider** · 2nd January 2006, 10:12

No I seem to be up to speed with the other 150's down the straights.
The 250's seem faster, but I'll just have to learn to deal with them in the corners. There was only one RG that was significantly faster in one race last year, after being slowish all season, so I have questions as to what was done to it.
Yes we need fact and figures, or else its just 'hear say' (read:

).
This RG was faster than That KR on this day at that track is not good reason to change bikes. That KR may have been set up wrong.
If you can say, I lapped this track in a BT of 1:26 on my RG, but when I tried a well setup KR on the same day, I could only do 1:30, then that is of interest.
and why do you think that was? Was the KR heavy? less power? less lean avaiable?
