Buckets & Motards 26 August Brooklyn

[F5 Dave]

All I can say is go the long chin fark that thing is fast

Pity it sounds like a slow fart in an elevator.

Good you've got it sorted a bit better. What do you reckon parts backup will be like if you need anything? ie: can you swap a 'onda gearbox directly in?

I may have to get my rear brake working so I can practise some of those styley skids into the hairpins you were doin.

Maybe Bayden should contract you to get his old duffer going by removing some more parts. Feck that wheelie off the start line was hilarious. . . . Well it was when I realised he wasn't going to land on me.

That looks far looser on video than it feels on the bike, I do like the smoke off the tyres s

I'm thinking 'stuff faster', I'm going to learn how to do that slide into corners thing.

[Ivan]

Yeah that ws intense the way Fishy came into the corners, it looked like he was crashing thats mad,

And LimBim or wateva your name is Im guessing your the guy on the DRZ 400 the Black one?

And you were doing the mean giggles as you cornered,

I was the one pitted next to you, on the CBR the black headed guy I think I remember you from helping at the sprints last year when I was there on my 125

[Sully60]

Yeah, nearly put my mudguard into the back of your head once...

Fi5hy just about did the same thing with his chin..... his long chin!

[Slingshot]

You got the head off yet?

I was feeling guilty that I'd spent too much time with Frankenstein over the weekend and was out with work last night so tonight has been really the first chance I've had to look at it.

Anyway, have just pulled the motor out and pulled the head off...I've found the problem.

The piston is fucked!!

Don't know where the bits of it are but there were no large chunks in the cylinder, they might be floating around by the crank or they may have been blown out.

So, now I need to find me a new piston and get the head and barrel honed.

Photos to follow:

Here's the damage:

[Sketchy_Racer]

ewww what a crappy shape head..

maybe look for a TF100 head. thay have a waay better profile than that.

and even maybe bore it out a bit..

For pistons maybe flick tonyB a PM i think he's got one of them.. You could also try him on www.NZSBF.co.nz i think he frequents there more often

how far do you wanna go with this thing??

[Skunk]

Head looks OK to a rough bugger like me. (Could do with a squish tho). How's the barrel? Piston should be cheap - try http://www.motoequip.co.nz and support a KBer - as Sketchy has pointed out.

I have a honing tool somewhere I think. Call me if you want it and I'll have a look.

edit: site seems to be down at the mo...

Anyway I have a plan devised by Leigh (Skunk Control) to get the ZXR bucket going... Hope to do most of the work this weekend.
Anyone got an AX100 magneto, and side cover?
