Angry zxr 400

[moT]

personally I don't think running total loss is a must...more trouble than its worth in my opinion (my opinion probably isnt worth much but anyway)

I'd say get on and ride it and worry about the mods when you are being held back by the bike

Yeah good point learn to ride the bike good first then when you feel the need to get mods those are a good place to start

Jeeze boy you talk some shit.
ZXR400s have 17 inchers as stock.They have very good ground clearance as stock -TS had his zorst liftin the rear on his before the pegs were decked.Total loss is a waste of time and effort for the small HP gain.Verses the starting issues ayou will encounter.HOW THE FUCK are you gonna dyno tune a bike with ram air you idiot.
Westy my advice based on a couple of seasons racing zxr400's
Do the shocks n brakes. Give the engine a birthday-Oil Filter, do the shims,do sort out the rev limiter
Fit a set of crash bungs and if the fairings mint yea get a glass fairing
I'd also read the -"Wanna go racing ?" thread and get a spare set of levers -they are the first bit to break in an off.
Go do a couple of trackdays then maybee do the last round of the Vic club series in Clubmans 2 so you aint under any pressure.
I totally agree with young Tim.Ride till the bike is the slowing factor then decide what you're gonna do

ok well for starters im only going with what i know from my vfr my vfr has a 18" i assumed it had one to but its good it only has a 17", runnign total loss makes a pretty big difference when raceing ask nicksta she won the race because of that! as for tuneing the bike for ram air make it run a bit ritcher i guess so it allows for more air when traveling faster??? i just got ram air on my bike and a more freer airbox so i bet its running real lean

DUDE...... Frosty, if i may follow your lead... what are you smoking Tom? Total loss is NOT what helped me win a race.... the tiny HP advantage i get is lost with my noob riding skills and slow exit speed. I won because you started at the back (and the race was shortened to 4 laps) and the 1100cc monster didnt go out cos it was raining and i am stupid enough to be able to ride at 90% of my pace in the rain. That said... total loss is an advantage... but very small in my noob rider hands, i ride a smart race, not a fast race.

next thing...with my limited knowledge... i didnt know VFR's work on ram air considering the way the airbox and carbs are configured??? (infact i think stock VFR's came out with a flap blocking air to the airbox thing under the tank)...... mine had no filter and ran like shit when i first got it cos the air flow was too free and hard(?) into the airbox/carbs, i had to put a filter and stuff back in..... can someone help me out with the tech speak for this stuff?

the time im reffering to was on the second race last lap. where i passed you on the last corner but ur bike just had that little bit more and you won by like 0.011 of a sec or sumpthing ( that is where total loss comes in handy) and as for your rideing your not too bad your really smooth and probably a lot more sencible than i

[Nicksta]

i agree.....
track days rock for practice and getting used to lines.....
and asking lots of questions....

Didnt do many of those things at taupo on the weekend. It would have been funny watching a blade go round the track in really high revs but not going fast. lol So I like the sound of a high pitched squeal. Who doesn't.

So Coffee.... Friday?

dude... come along to the next track day we are going to and pit with us... they guys are awesome for tips and helping out.....
i personally love the sound of my bike on the limiter.... (sorry Tweety) must have stemmed from watching Bruce down taupo's start straight on the limiter in 2nd.... sounds hot

and i dont think i meant that type of question Fynn... but yeah lets catch up for coffee.... its been a while...

lol... oh that time was just pure luck... and a thing called power to weight
still nothing to do with total loss....

yeah yeah power to weight and total loss... its annoying your bike leaves mine for dust on the straights. the thing is if i were running total loss that time i may of won. its either that or i go on a diet for the next few weeks

Tom her speed at the end of the straight is because shes getting better drive out of corners.She's coming out corners better because shes put time into learning the track.

The allen bolt at the bottom is very tight and the tube seat inside keeps turning.

i dont think that is the case..

i'll have you know i spent days on lines... and the whole test day riding and concentrating solely on individual corners, lines and smoothness.... i work hard off the bike to be good on it..... who was it that quoted "know thy enemy" and the Minefeild is thy enemy!
