What are you going to do with a 21-year old Honda twofifty? It could become a spare parts nightmare....

[Frits Overmars]

Honda RS 125 piston. Too dry underneath? Too much advance? Lean Carburation?

There is No heat going into the piston from advanced ignition as there is no darkness underneath. RS125 ignitions retard shitloads after peak torque to get heat into the pipe and make it rev.

Right, and this late ignition also puts a lot of heat into the piston, particularly weakening the top land where the exhaust flow heats it most.
Maybe the piston ring had too little guidance at the exhaust port bottom and knocked the weakened top land off.

Superkarts in England have been getting 250k for years. I thought they'd slowly get faster but it seems to be the limit


UK Superkarts DO NOT reach speeds of 250 kmh.
Dunlop tyres are tested under duress up to and maintained at 240 kmh for the world market.
Currently the fastest Superkart speeds know in race trim are at the Phillip Island GP Circuit.
2013 Australian Nationl Superkart Championships 2 achieved a speed of 247 kmh, this was the first time such a speed had been attained
Feburary 2015 a new top speed of 248.9 kmh was achieved at Phillip Island with a 1:30 second lap time,
The PI Superkart lap record is 1:28.4 sec
The UK guys can not believe the speeds attained by the Aussies at Phillip Island and as such Russell Anderson & his driver Gavin Bennett organised to come to Phillip Island to compete in the 2014 Championships, a change of race dates after travel bookings were made destroyed there plans.
Good news they may be coming in 2015

Put it in my garage, sit in my comfy chair, drink beer, look at bike, more beer, more look at bike, talk shit with friends.

[senso]

Looks like a good plan TZ.

You don't need a looker to do that...

[wobbly]

Wow man, check that 2T lawnmower in the background - is that what you are looking at ?


Serious note here though, anyone got a late model RD400 cylinder I could have a look at ?
I will be in Auckland on Sunday for the Eagles so could collect if anyone has one there.

Yep, thats my Honda, it deserves the attention, sat for 10 years outside, started first pull on the 10 year old gas! Sadly not a two stroke though.

And a track day or two assuming the tyres are up to it.

A mate has a '97 TZ250 in his lounge room, helped him carry it up the stairs. Solid pegs & remove the fairing, piece of piss.

I'm in as long as we can fit in some gun talk.

OK. The woody levery bit goes towards you and the hole end that spits out the hot metal
bits goes towards the person you want to murder.

[fpayart]

But ditch the ram air you won't need it at road speed and it will only serve to bugger the carburation

Hello,
Funny to find his sofa at the other end of the earth
Francis.

[Frits Overmars]

Bonjour Francis, it's a pleasure to meet you here.

Guys, this L-plate rider is better known as monsieur FPE. Just google FPE Superkart.

[Dutch Fisher]

Bonjour Francis

Welcome.

I've just finished reading about your work on the Veronesi Racing crankshaft for the RGV250 engine.
Very enlightening, especially the revelation that it lacked a centre seal.
Your solution was most elegant. Bravo
