You should have a go on Pamela, she's built for comfort....

Yah, I tried her once. Fuck knows what the idiot who suggested all that to you was thinking. I sure wouldn't be talking to him any more.

Your welcome to try the pitty too, if you dare....

I have standards and they are low. But not that low.

[Slingshot]

sorry i wasn't very chatty yesterday...
i was a little quiet... due to the fact i was up untill 4.30am getting luke's bike going....

That seems to be a regular occurrence, either that...or fixing up shit at the track that should have been done before hand.

An update.

The AX1R developed a miss at the last race meeting. The meeting was supposed to be a shakedown to make sure all was well with it and get some tuning on the ZX1R done.

Instead it was missing from half way up the rev range and up. Slowly pulled the thing apart starting at the top and working my way down. I should've started at the bottom and worked up it turns out.

It was the stator. I've sent mine to be rewound but it's not looking good - no wire in stock or manufactured anymore.

Yes F5 Dave, you were right but I started at the easiest and cheapest... Doh!

Does this look anything like what you need?

[Skunk]

Nah, looks like this (the black one - the other is the lighting) but focused and with good colour...

Can it be converted to total loss and run a battery?

[Skunk]

Huh? I wouldn't know... There's no points or anything so how would it pick up the timing?

I guess you mean to replace the whole lot with 'something else'™.

Could be done but do not right now. It's running (I hope) and I have a trailer to modify.

J Halsey Rewinds Ltd have done a great job of rebuilding the stator. I'll be taking it to Chch as a spare.

There will be a spare AX100 motor at the BOB so be not too worrying. Can buy it if you want.

Thanks but no thanks. I have several already...

After the poor showing at the Battle of the Buckets the AX1R has had the carb drilled to allow more fuel in. Hopefully this will cure the issue. Won't really know until Taupo...

so that 6mm drill will do the job then.....

I designed and built a chamber. Totally stuffed it up. Peak power was delivered at 10000rpm over a very narrow band. After checking the plans to what was built it appears I cocked up the header length (too short) and the baffle (too short) which made what should have been a mildly peaky pipe very peaky.

Into the bin it goes.

Second attempt both looks better but should also give a very broad spread of power. I had been running a TZR250 pipe and this new one is fairly close to it - only several kilos lighter (about 5 or 6 at a guess). I'll have to see how the carb setup is with it now.

[Skunk]

The second attempt at a chamber is a bloody good one! Man, I'm stoked with it. More power, and lower down, with a great top end. I can use the power to stay ahead of riders I couldn't even catch before. (Sorry Slingshot)

Now to improve my riding.

And tweak the rear shock. More preload and firmer rebound.

. . . . and you could probably fit a connector to the coil if you have the same hickery 'slide a pin into a socket' arrangement as Pamela.
