Heh, I was tempted to get a V series plug, but they every other branch had one but the one we went to (i.e. the closest one). I dare say I'll fit one to the ZPF when the time comes, all my other two strokes have responded well to precious metal plugs.

Idle adjustment eh... how many turns is the effective working range of the screw to do you know? I'm guessing full in and then no more than 3-4 turns out?

Oh, the plug cap on the Daytona is total arse. Any reason why I can't yank the plug lead out of the coil and fit a new lead / cap?

Now I just need someone in chch to show me how to ride it properly... I'm all arms and legs at the moment, just can't get seated naturally.

Do you need to shift your weight when cornering, or just keep you bum in the middle of the seat and lean it over? I'm 6ft, so moving left to right on the seat is a bit of a chore, not impossible though.

ZPF Rep's use NGK-B10EGV, and make sure you get the one in the red packet.(FOR RACING)

also... if your 6ft i don't think u will be getting off your seat. they do it alot in europe, but i have found that leaning is just as effective. i too have a zpf so personally i lean because i can't get off the seat. it does take a while to get the feet right on the pegs(im still learning) lol.

P S- Good luck with the ZPF, they are a real awesome bike and are really torquey.

So you need to hot up a 4.2 (whatever that is) before it's comparable to a ZPF rep?

All arms and legs ya say lol
Riding style is all up to you really like ZPF boy sais he stays on the seat and finds it best for him, as others to. But I'm 6'2" and move alot in my seat and find I don't have to lean as much to pull a tight line. I move right off the seat on the daytona and keep a cheek on the seat on my 18Hp open bike.

i had a 4.2 that was slightly modded and it was alot faster than a zpf.....i mean it was better handling and the acceleration was also alot better.....and then a 4.2 will still beat a zpf on the straight.....but its all down to the rider

**orange** · 2nd March 2009, 18:16

that 4.2 cann't be that fast as it got it's ass handed to it in senior A on the weekend.

**DELLORTO** · 2nd March 2009, 18:18

You'll love the ZPF...funny thing is, and Max does not mention it, but Connor beat everything on the ZPF on Sun, including a B1 that was also running in Senior A . That same bike ran 1st, 2nd and 4th in Senior A

ZPF, can't be that slow huh!

**DELLORTO** · 2nd March 2009, 18:44

}
