Hello A grade.

Yes, I know. I felt too slow in A grade last year so moved back. It's A grade next year...

Last weighed at 82kgs. Horsepower is unknown - the engine is only tidied at this stage. Aiming at torque not peak power.

Ahh, actually thinking about it Pete's pipes are Gas welded, what a dork I am. Still the bent metal bracing at the diffuser to stinger join is how he does his.

Pity as Pete had a great design for the TS engine. So where did the design come from? A little more Bell than Mota I hope. Hard to see the header section, I'm assuming it is different from his 100 pipe.

Slighty longer in the header. A bit Bell, a bit IWC(?) and a bit guess work. Seems to have a little more torque but peak has dropped. Will look into that.
It's not right for the motor, but the motor will be developed into the pipe if you know what I mean...

It's got pinstripes as well now. Sometimes I just can't stop myself.

Did I miss a star trek set sale or swapmeet.Go where no revcounter has gone before.
Why is the rev counter showing zero.
Needs a super pursuit mode..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=407lo1iIZHI

Looks good Skunk, way to flash for those wellington boys. Will catch up on sunday, minus one bike grrrrrr.

Hey Skunk i was wondering with the ax100 is it better to leave the oil container on the bike or would it be better to premix for the petrol tank? Cheers

**Skunk** · 29th September 2009, 15:44

Up to you - I prefer premix but it's more hassle at the track.

**BOGAN02** · 15th October 2009, 23:44

The Suzuki AX100 is gone. The AX1R is gone. There's just not enough of an AX100 left to warrant calling it an AX100 or AX1R any longer.

As of today all that is left of the AX100 is the fuel tank and the front half of the frame.

From now on it's the Suzuki SW-R1. As per my original long term plan for the bike it's still a backbone frame and will stay that way. The latest changes are a longer swingarm, rising rate rear linkage and a steeper steering head angle (24.5°). I'm also reducing the amount of trail by replacing the triple clamps. New motor is being built too – a TS125.
