Going watercooled

[dirtybomb]

I'm going to sell it, along with the 2 extra frames, motors, fairings and spares I have.

Hopefully I can get about $150 for the lot, my stainless exhaust alone was $120!

I might be keen to talk to ya about that! Can we catch upon Saturday at the track?

[dirtybomb]

Yeah thats no problem, I'l be there with my new bike..

If you want to come have a look, I'm located at the penrose end of Mt Wellington- about 10 minutes from the track.

Cheers,
Geoff.

What did end up buying DB?

[dirtybomb]

Havnt bought it yet, just trying to twist Sid's arm so I can get it sooner rather than later this week.

He's sent me an attachment with all of the models etc, now I just need to meet him for pick up.

I'm going to get a B1.

Bugger, priorities grasshopper...

Re. trademe B1s. Yes they do the trick, engines are good, brakes need a bit if sorting to get them running free, they need re-gearing as most have a 6tooth pinion - replace with 7, throttles are pretty flimsy,foot pegs break after 5 mins - replace with Nylon rod. But the parts are cheap and readily available. How did you get on with Sids bikes, DB?

If you're in Edgecumbe they race once a month at the Kart track.

cheers

Sids ?

Ok on the mods and fixes.

Yes, this is looking like the go. Got to go and see them next, and then we are ready to buy.

DB

[dirtybomb]

Well, I ended up spending the extra money and gettng what I believe to be a GRC watercooled rep. or (MP—GP1 Comp R) according to the supplier.

The build quality looked better, and I seemed to fit much better on it than the b1.

Its probably going to scare the shit out of me when I first ride it as its ment to be quite a bit quicker than a b1.

Anyway, I bought a decent racing jacket also with shoulder armour etc so we'l see how it goes!

Would one tank of gas be sufficiant for run in?

[BigAl]

Yeah DB a tank full should be enough to run it in, just vary the throttle a bit.

If it is what I think it is it will have a 1/4 turn throttle so be ready for some wicked wheel stands if it has std gearing, great fun

Also really go over all nuts and bolts after the first couple of rides. Are you coming along tomorrow, if so I'll see you there.

[daytona 2]

good one dB grc reps are realy good value for monet and they make a daytona look like a asmatic-chain smoking snail...we'll have a pretty even race now dB...see u tommorow

Will these things powerstand ? :gasp:

DB

[dirtybomb]

Now It doesnt go!

Got it going pretty quickly, had a ride up the street- Jezus!

Anyway, all I did was leave the bike and come back to it half an hour later to try start it and.... nothing.

NGK sparkplug seems to have plenty of spark, but wont even fire with engine start. (tried in sparkplug hole, and straight into carb.)

I did notice the carb was leaking fuel, not heaps but consistantly.

What else should I look at?

[daytona 2]

damm that sucks....id give the carb a good look into..still come to racing tomorrow even if you cant start it..you can do a couple of races on my bike..
