Street Stock 250cc 4-stroke twins

Serious question time, would having lighter wheels greatly affect the handlling of the bike? Rotaional intertia and all that??

It can do, but throwing that kind of money for a small gain [unless you happen to be Rossi] is very pointless, they can help the bike accelerate, stop and turn in quicker but on a hyoslurp you may be lucky to knock 1s off at Puke. I wouldn't recommend doing that because all the suspension components on the bike are made to have the individual wheel weights affecting the bound and rebound of the shock absorber, loosing a dramatic amount of weight in that area will more than likely unbalance the bike and it may loose what bump control it has.

You realise alot of the weight in the wheel is the rubber..

Same story with his.....

Ur COmets fast man, if you get round to getting that custom exhaust put on itd b quick, you re-jetted it urself ay?

Yep Ive spent a fairly long expensive and painful time rejetting. Had to read the plugs cos I've got no dyno...

I'd frikkin love to track it, wonder how it compares to everyone elses hyos. Theres no mention of intake mods in the rules, might have to establish that first.

Where is it held? Puke? What days? (Got a weekend job )

I'm liking the carbon wheels haha, and I'm loving the notion that Hyosung actually took spring rates and damping/rebound etc into account! Hell no they didn't. The rear shock is something thats meant to last 20,000 kms and the front forks are only there so you can point it in the right direction.

Next art day is on 15th of Nov i think. ART days would b a good chance to see how the mods effect ur bike. Would b a long ride down tho. Looking forward to seeing ya there!

If that is the case, sort the suspension then. Wheels won't do fuck all if it has uber poo suspension, valve emulators and springs.

I don't see how I forgot to add that! It's kinda like throwing drag pipes on a Harldy davidson or going to a massive fireworks show with one sparkler. Having a Hyosung is worse than Chlamydia [I've had that twice and it's not too bad apart from the swab up the urethra]

Haha thats really excellent stuff to read about. Gives me a nice warm fuzzy feeling.. Oh wait..

Hyos are fine, just slightly heavy, underpowered and they tend to turn crank bearings into bite sized pieces... Hey, a stock 250 Hyo will reach 100 faster then, and has more top speed then, a Harley 883 Sportster proven by Dyno (Massive deal I know).
Not to mention a 650 Hyo has more power then a 696 Ducati.. God I'd love a 696...

I'll see if I can get that Sunday 15th off, in Puke? Whats the cost?

I'd like to see a Hyo and a Harley race. Both are over weight and severely underpowered, except the hyo does so to meet power restriction regulations. How did the dyno prove that? The 650 Hyo are a reasonable bike though, the Duc 696 is underpowered, my bros650 would have eaten one [untill I got a tank slapper.....]

Don't those give you infections??

Its nice that you bring up the BROS while talking about severly underpowered haha. Whats that, 57hp from 650ccs?
I can't find any sheets but basically due to the gearing, the Harley couldn't pull any real top speed. The acceleration doesn't need explanation.
I was actually looking at a BROS for the next step up, Honda powerplant and that 'conservative' state of tune lest them last forever. Or take a hell of alot of modding? Too bad they're hellishly overpriced considering average age/mileage

Cheers for the entry form chaos rider, I guess you'll be there on the 15th?

Will we be able to attach a four poster bed to said bikes. Will not make the very slow bike go any faster as a bonus you could get a good sleep whilst waiting no sorry racing. I think the trick would be to race the 4snoore stroke 250s on a go cart track or better still a slot car track.
Racing is meant to be exciting, i don't think anyone would want to watch these kind of bikes thats why they are learners.
Sorry but my opinion only but a dead end.

unfortunatly with the costs of other bikes and parts this i think wil be the new big thing in racing

when more people get into it it wont be so boring then will it.

till then ill take my trophy and smile

It may be the case that 4/ 250s are pretty sleepy, but as chaos says, it is majorly about the ease of entry into the class via both low costs and manageable power. If it doesn't appeal to you, no-ones forcing you to watch or enter.
