What can you do to make an SV go faster than a stock SV? Is that the question? Heaps! I'm talking a worked F3 SV not a protwins SV.

I dunno about an SV, but to speed up a Hyosung, you need only to remove the hot air from the rider..

Bollocks. A nicely worked SV will be on an even par with a 450 and the Nationals demonstrated that well.

Thats correct, the very 450 that won being the most highly developed one in the country. But it was really the role of the dice and who had the bad luck whether it was Andys Kwaka or Terrys SV that was going to take the title. Throw in Jason Nairns improving form,''The Gimp'' on tight tracks and a few promising / emerging newcomers. Look at Jills results at the last round of the Nationals, embarrassing a good many blokes behind her. It made for an interesting class.

MNZ have got the formula for the Pro Twins class largely correct, the allowable mods in fact allow a wider cross section of makes and models to be competitive. For example the neccessity to fit suspension that actually works on a Hyosung, Possum has been very candid and descriptive about that.

Highly / overly restricted ( i.e completely stock ) classes effectively become one make classes.

Evidence the Toyota racing series, a very restricted control class and extremely boring.

Yeah, but they're Suzuki's they'll be less reliable than a 20 year old 400.

Front end of the national F3 Feild---Fitzgerald--Injected SV Nairn-Carbed SV,Bowel--ZXR450, Jason on the tigcraft 400.
Back in the baxk end was MOI on my sv hammer and tongs with a guy on the ex terry Fitzgerald gixxe4r450---My bike definitely diddnt have better legs in a straight line

or you had lower corner exit speed...and or...your bike's setup doesn't alow you to get the power down as earily as him...

[Deano]

or you had lower corner exit speed....

Maybe overall corner speed ?

Bad LBTW:

I only speak of the truth and the results speak for themselves, have a look at the vic club website to see where my Hyosung is placed in the series at the mo!!!

GO THE HYOSUNG!!!!!

[Possum41]

Yeah, but they're Suzuki's they'll be less reliable than a 20 year old 400.

Somebody really dosn't like Suzuki's!!!
Let me know when you get your Hyosung scracha

Sniff sniff, next weekend will be my last on baord Darkmans SV


So I could be doin the last two rounds on another mates bike.


Shit, what did I ever do to deserve mates like these aye? Top bunch to be sure.

[moT]

the 650s still produce soooo much more torque than a 450 that has to account for something and there newer, better built and lighter

are they better built and lighter???

torque does make the 650's easier to ride apparently? [I havn't raced a SV or a 400 so I'm not totally qualified to coment]

Yep, and something that seems to be conveneiently ignored is that while Andy Bolwell's luvverly lil' ZXR is obviously a weapon, it didn't get that way by accident or just by throwing bucketloads of cash at it. Just 'cos you spend a lot of money on something doesn't mean it's not a lemon. As Dr Taylor will have seen first hand a badly setup Ohlins "whatever" is gonna be far worse than a well setup OEM equivalent.
It takes a lot of effort and experience to develop a successful bike in this kind of formula and it's no coincidence that the main protagonists in the class, Andy and Terry Fitzgerald, have been around longer than most.

Ten out of ten to this man, you can indeed spend the cash but you still have to make it all work. A badly set up bike with all the bling will be slower than a well set up bike with rather less bling. A clever, experienced rider on an average bike will beat an average rider on a bike with all the bling etc etc.
But, a fast rider on a fast bike with fully optimised bling will streak away from the field. Etc etc
