ESE's works engine tuner

[F5 Dave]

Of course I've just worked out that I already have the TPS (from a SueBarrRoo, whatever that is) & the loom I fitted connectors for it in anticipation for when I got around to fitting one.

I'll fit it, & set it up for max & tape it in position; Instant Lorenzo,

or Gardner if you think in old terms like I do.

Those pictures are all in English . And in case you are interested in "Jamathi's and other 50cc racers of the 60's" I've got a lot more photo material. Not just Jamathi, but also (in alphabetical order) Bultaco, DKW, Jawa, KTM, Kreidler, MZ, Ossa, Rumi, Suzuki and Yamaha, from 50 cc triples to 750 cc fours, all two-strokes.
I've even got pictures of the works Hondas (both two- and foul-stroke).

Mental Trousers and yours truly just managed to work out a way to upload big files. Momentarily there is 37 MB of Aprilia information hovering in the cloud, waiting to be downloaded. Once you unzip it, it's over 70 MB.... And we could do the same with those other brands I just mentioned. Only if you are interested, of course....

Yes you have, my son (how old are you anyway?) But the method we used back then was so complicated, not to say mental, that I forgot how it went.
I'll work out a simpler way, but not now; too many things to do.

I am 39 years old (but its my birthday soon) so that would be a great present. Is there any more progress reports on the CVT and open all hours (24/7)

I too would love to see the photo collection, especially the 50's.

I also can't wait to see them

No, I have never seen one, Muciek. But you could ask my friend Martijn Stehouwer of Emotracing: http://www.emot.nl/fotoalbum/
He specializes in eastern-european two-stroke racers.

So you'll be forty then. We cannot let that go by without some celebration, so I zipped hundreds of pictures and told Mental Trousers where he can download them and make them available to the forum.
A word of warning: there may be copyrights on a number of pictures, so please not spread them beyond this forum. Happy Birthday, Husa.

Thanks Frits being handy on the maths now that could come in handy in your line of work
Thanks in advance to Mental Trousers as well.

I was going to suggest you mail them over as i had just minted a new stamp


As for turning 40 soon,not so much excitement over that,I might have a beer when the NSR engine arrives though....hint hint
While i have you, assuming you were about then, what were the major changes between the RSR and RSW engines, just detail re the porting or subtle changes everywhere. I only just noticed how much power was allegedly gained on the works RSV250 from 1990- 1994=13hp. That's a huge leap.
Those Italian bike are always so beautiful

BOB 2013 the Ruapuna B track has got to be the best small bike track in the Country and the BOB combined with the Greymouth street race next weekend would have to be the premier meetings of the year,.



The best food I have seen at any race track.



I never thought I would say this, but I have become a paid up member of the GN125 fan club. Great bike, reputedly, a little down on power compared to the CBR150 that won but the GN is the sort of bike I like. Home made, fast, handles, well developed engine with some interesting ideas and in the race it went the distance. Kick gave me one of his spare clutches which I intend using in my new engine for the Beast.

I rode Yow Lings RG150 (Purple Death) in the pre89 and Development Class, finished last each time but accidentally (year right) found myself out in a Bucket race and finished lower mid field so was happy about that. At the end of one of the pre89 races I found myself giving Yow Ling a lift back from the Hairpin after he had a mishap with his own RG150.



A big thanks to Yow Ling for letting me ride Purple Death, the B track is a fast technical track and at the end of the day I was glad to be able to hand the RG back in one piece.



I was not that fast but I did get to see some excellent riding close up, like when Scout came past on her RS125 and dived between two big 4-Strokes as they peeled of for the Fulton Hogan corner.

Out on the track .... At first I went around using nearly every gear in the box but after a while as I got more used to the layout of the track I found I could get around using only fourth and fifth although I wondered about the wisdom of revving the RG out to the max and holding it there for a fair bit of the track between Pothole and Calford. The RG was much slower in sixth (125k) but would wind out to 145k in fifth at 12,500rpm (Red Line 13,000rpm). At the end of the day I was pretty pleased to be able to hand it back in one piece.





The first corner after the Start Finish line is Pothole. At first I was changing down for this corner then later I could go around with just a dip of the throttle but I never managed to take it at full song all the way, like I am sure the fast boys do.

Calford Camtec is the Hairpin and some late breaking could close the gap here and the corner is quite wide so it allowed a deep in, sharp turn and good drive out.

Fulton Hogan was my problem corner, early in the day I got a good rear end slide on here and it sort of made me wary of it for the rest of the day. Fulton tightens up and the entry is very important if you don’t want to run up onto the ripple strip. I never got it right so I have unfinished business here and will have to come back next year.

Crown Lift Carousel was my favorite corner, its banked and you can get the power on early and just fair sweep around it, much faster than you think possible.

Keeping well out to the right exciting the Carousel set you up for the Flexoplass sweeper onto the back straight. All kneedown stuff, but I never did and got the fright of my life when I ground one of the foot pegs.

I just have to come back next year for the next BOB and then go over to Graymouth, great racing, great people.

There were a lot of FXR150's there and quite a few interesting specials.
