    Sketchy (Stink Racing's Chief Test Rider and Chief Mechanical Director) has been advising the mechanic (Skunk) on tuning the ZX1R . It's sounding cleaner and crisper with a better throttle response already. A speed test is yet to be done but the team is finally heading in the right direction.
    Lead rider Skunk was heard to comment how much better the team has been since Sketchy was signed on.

    The ZX1R has proven itself to but a temperamental shit. The sooner the Honda crap in it is gone the better...

    And here it is so far. A couple of things to do; move the plug in the head, muffler and stinger, and mount the carb. This last one is hard due to a missing bit...

    Darn, Skunk, an F6 they are so good that it's almost cheating. Next you will be wanting to beat us Northerners at Taupo. Its a good looking bike and thats a frighteningly good looking professional like expansion chamber.

    You're a bit sarcastic aren't you The F6 is real old school cast iron so I do'nt think it has much hope of going that fast at all.
    As for the chamber - thanks go to HRC for that. The only non Kwaka bit on it so far.
