What's to know?

Mate !!

You cant even compare that bike to a Banshee of ZPF.
Nothing complicated about these , YOU just dont know about them.
Reliability ????????????

Cheers Greg

Agree Greg, the only issue with the ZPF is you have to ensure the gas tank is full before a race, but it would be unfair to blame the bike for the that!!..would you agree Greg!!!




In all seriousness, we are fairly new to minimoto, and have been more than happy with our ZPF, it's quick, reliable, parts are readily available (not that you need them) ...and the backup support is superb!

Ok, went with the ZPF rep, thanks for your input guys.

ive got a gp3 rep for sale.......not as fast as a zpf banshee ect but more reliable and less complicated and less expensive......up to you.....

Cheers for your input mate.

I'm not really that worried about money (although until we actually have somewhere to race, I'm not going to spend up large), and complicated isn't too much of an issue... at a guess, the worlds most complicated mini moto is probably considerably less complicated than my other bikes

And, of course, speed matters

Hi Malcom.....so I guess if speed matters , you have yourself a ZPF all lined up!!!

All good!!!

Good man.....a wise choice.....

Heh, we'll see

Could you post some pics of your footpeg setup Ray?

Sure will....easy to do.....

We will have to get some ZPF Owners Club shirts made up.....

P.S I bought another ZPF yesterday also, so the Xtreme Team is growing.....bought it for my son to run the Auckland Mt Wellington rounds....at the sign writers as we speak...

Dude, you're an addict

We're off to the coast tonight, pick up this (presumably B2)... come mid week, it'll be on



Anybody seen a minimoto with a Britten replica bodywork set? Could be an interesting winter project...

[BigAl]

Britten already done by Richard Dickin a couple of years ago, see pict.

Looked very nice.

[grantman]

Thats really cool

whats next?

Bert Munro's Indian scout?

[imdying]

That is so cool! Takes the fun out of it if it's already been done though

Well, the B2 is a bit of fun. Gave it a clean and lube, chain looked a bit poked, but not the end of the world. Well, turns out, was a bit more serious than that. Felt a bit flat in the top end, like there was more to come. Back to the van after about 15 minutes run time, and the chain had actually started to seize the odd link. We'll fit a new chain, expecting it to go quite a bit better after that!

What's the procedure for plug chopping a mini moto? Full chat and then hold the kill button till you roll to a stop?

The plugs in the Daytona and B2 were both weird numbers... they ripped off everything but the part numbers. Quick trip to Repco, stole the NGK catalogue (the one with the part number breakdown) and found some replacements.

The screw on the side of the horrible little B2 carb, what's the supposed to do then? Mixture or idle adjustment? Appears to be mixture? I'll strip it for a nosy if I have to.

Took the front on the Daytona down to canvas, so it'll get the old treaded tyres from the B2 and we'll fit some slicks to that.

Bit of luck the ZPF will arrive on Wednesdayish and we'll go for another blat. Daytona is a bit lethal to ride... about 10mm of peg left on each side... and if you slip off, baaaad things happen. Will try to get a length of nylon and machine some up on the lathe on Saturday. It desperately needs a chain guard too, it's eating both the fairings and our boots at an alarming rate.

Other than that, the crappy little Daytona is actually a lot of fun around car parks, doesn't need much room to stretch its legs.

Really do need a nice open patch to try somethings on, get a bit nervous cranking it round traffic islands at this early stage of the game, it's easy to clip on with a knee; should be a lot more fun when I get a bit of consistently... at the moment it's like being a new rider again

B1 reps use a NGK-B9EGV

It's the idle adjuster.
