    Because FXR's hate Le Mans starts, they're complete pigs to push start.
    So from next year the 2 strokes will bolt while FXR riders collapse from exhaustion
    I just hope they're off the track when we come round to start the next lap.

    Bull Shit

    Ok I admit that a few years ago in a 2hr JC pushed me for a bloody long time, but that carb was a POS and I never got it to run rigth off the bottom. Get the carb set up right and they will fire everytime. Shit the only reason mine still has the kick start i for convenience

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    The way I hear it, the riders are going to have to push start their bikes themselves, with no kick or electric starters allowed.

    Guess how easy it is to push start the Beast. ...

    I competed in 3 or 4 2hrs in the mid 90's and never was the holder allowed to push. Shane Husband used to get his CB125 twin away as good as anyother bike and some of the 2 smokers were pigs to get going. The start is part of the race and builders should make sure their machine will actually start and the rules should not be changed to accomodate a certain group. Plus it is fucking dangerous as the video showed (and it could very easily have been a lot worse too). Just my opinion.

    Ignition on and in gear, while swinging the leg over you pull in the clutch and hit the starter and away you go, simple really unless of course you're a fashion lemming and have removed all that shit

    Im desperate and very stressed as I have a race in the next few weeks
    I have tried 2 different carbs on it with no change

    Oh the msd registers the length of the pickup lump for you and it had it 10 degrees wrong and so it was stuffing the timing up. I calculated it with a degree wheel and entered it and away we went

    Final round of the All Japan Road Race 1992 at Tsukuba

    Most likely watched before by those who visit this thread but I enjoy watching these old races again anyway

    That's a 50 cc engine with a 32 mm carb. Over 20 rear wheel HP, outstanding throttle response .....


    Very impressive, I like the starting technique too.

    Seems that what was learnt was forgotten. That could have lead to a cracked skull. Bike holders shouldn't be allowed to leave the grass. That's the rule in welly. No pushing.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.
