Suzuki RG50 - The Ultimate Bucket Racer?

It seems to happen alot because people get tired of him going on about stuff that he has no idea about, or his ideas are for 'look cool' purposes not for any racing benifit.

He's being a prick to me at the moment anyway. So what goes around comes around.

Are you guys allowed to raise a 125 twin 2-stroke?
ie GT125?
Or can it only be a single 125 2-stroke air-cooled.

When I used to race in the late 80's/ early 90's there was a guy who built up a Suzuki T90, modified it with reed induction and big carbs, and also bored it out to 100cc. I think he used GT50 pistons. Needless to say it was very quick and sounded the biz.

I hear the rules are quite different nowdays with limitations on carb size too I see.
Was the 150 rule only put in there to allow the FXR's to race?

The number of cylinders is not restricted, however a 125cc two stroke is restricted to a 24mm (or equivalent) carb and air cooling only.

**madkeenandy** · 22nd September 2006, 13:01

max four stroke 150cc
max two stroke 125cc air cooled with 24mm carb
max water cooled two stroke 100cc
max turbo or supercharged engine: 100cc four stroke

So theoretically, you could run a GT125 with 2 x 24mm carbs, or would it have to be 1/2 that size each...?
If that was the (former) case, then you could make a real flier !!

so why was it running last time aye? And when you say 'Fix' You mean i put it backtogether after you have pulled it apart. ?? That things fucked.

Oh and your RS125 shock in the RG50. Dont talk like that was your idea. You had your stupid plan of putting your 50 motor into that frame and then the 400 front end..... Fucken nice bro. It takes more than .5mm off each side. I had to mess around getting the correct spacing with all them damn washers.

I may not know much, but i certainly dont go ranting on about retarded modifications to my bike.

Lowering a RG50??

Why? tell me please

Ivan used to have one. Its a real goer and its stock. The carbs are 1mm over the legal limit standard. He opened his trap and told everyone about the size. So he sold it. Now AJTurbo races it. the bike is still the same as it was when it left ivans house. But no one cares about the 1mm oversised carbs.

Neither.

for a twin cylinder 125cc, the carb size must be equvilant to 24mm.

That means you can have 2 17mm carbs. I understand the theory behind it, I just can explain it on the PC. ask F5Dave in need be
