NSR FXR, the new No45

[richban]

Well got the last piece of the puzzle today. Little inline fuel tap. I had to kill the original tap to harvest the nut. Then I spun up a straight little nipple for the line. With the NSR tap the fuel line hit the cylinder head, so all is happy now.



Its pretty much race ready. Just need a couple of hose clips for the rear shock reservoir. Some paint. And a trip to the dyno. I am hoping to have it on the dyno late next week with the new engine in.

Also happy with the wiring now. Is all tidy and easy to get at.



After setting the front and rear rider sag 30 / 20 the front end has quite a steep rake. 22.4 degrees. It feels nice puting around will be interesting to blast it on the track. Looks like final weight will be 92kg. I am quite sure I will get in into the 80's with a lighter muffler and maybe a dummy tank at some stage. But happy with that for now.

Man I can't wait to see this thing at the track.

Are those sag figures with you on it? If so, what are the sags without you on it?

The important number is the difference between rider, and static sag.

The important number is the race wins column.

I was thinking lookin' sharp. . .except the tail piece doesn't match. How bout you leave the tank & do the tail to match? Honda race bikes always look good. even if they are a little ghey, but its ok you've had your kids.

Aye, and how much do they hate it when you throw your arms up and give a victory yell?

I call that 'Rodeo style'. Suggest a sister race then hang on for eight seconds. ( I don't usually need the full eight seconds, but it's the standard goal time).

And Yet they always moan they want more family time.....Gee they can be hard to figure out sometimes.

Carb issues were pissing me off. I could not get a read on what was happening. Main seamed fine but middle was not talking to me at all. Gave up and mounted the new muffler. What the what! All the jetting came good. So the old pipe and FCR were mismatched in some way. Anyway glad to have found that out now. So now running the monster quad bike Yoshi muffler. Way to heavy but will sort that later. But the good thing is it is 50mm straight through and quieter than it used to be. Big volume has helper and a little less cam overlap. Need track time so if anyone is able to help out with track testing drop me an email. Might just have to join up and get a key.

Opps instead of adding to the post I typed over it. Anyway sort story is New engine in, running and brutal. Running it in so has budget motul in it to clean out the engine. Also running an old clutch that is slipping madly. New oil and new clutch will go in before dyno. Now the carb is working the dyno time can be more for ignition setup. Need to raise the limiter to 13 and get some more advance to try keep the exhaust valve happy.

Oh crap, so it doesn`t just look fast ...

Guess our only hope is the clutch can`t cope and the power delivery makes it hard to ride fast

Sounds flash Rich, look forward to seeing it in the flesh sometime
