The alternative Waikato ADV riders thread

Haha nah not sure about that bit maybe a GPS blip only remember 120ish on the speedo, im 100kg but the old girl pulls me pretty good lotsa mods (accurate speedo, as I have the plug in thingy that corrects it, confirmed by GPS)

Actually talking of speed, before I fucked my back and put on 20kg it used to get me upwards of 140tapped out.

Nice pics again, but its still hard to have sympathy for your issues while your out doing that stuff while we all work

I'd expect 140ks as quite doable for your WR and some Americans report more than 150k on their speedos,

You should have about 25hp at the wheels enough to get near there. http://www.thumpertalk.com/topic/520...r-dyno-report/

In the Eighties I once saw 155kph on a geared up XR250 (22.5 rwhp) yes all the hill and wind planets had aligned on that day but it gives you an idea of what's possible. (actually if my memories serves me correctly I was using a 500 to slip stream as well)

Yea I know it bugs you, main reason for posting

Mods I've done should have it producing 28hp from numorus dynos others have done, some claim 30 but I think that particular type of dyno over reads. I was happy with the bump in power from mods: airbox, exhaust and fuel mapping, the stock ones are choked up pretty good for the greenies

Big bore should get at least 33hp (290cc) much more in the touque.... I keep wondering about it... You get more vibes (hardly any stock anyway) and lower revs a bit. $800nz on ebay I think. Long term reviews are favorable. I wouldn't do it but you can get it to 310cc with a stroker crank (heard bad things), can get hotter cams too.

Decisions decisions.... Think I'll keep it as my dirt type bike and buy a street bike when I get my full license.

That all sounds about right, you know my riding philosophy is multi bike.

My YZF is a big bore (290), difference over stock is massive and I had to gear it up as it used up the gears to quick, supposed to be about 37hp but its really the torque increase that you notice the most, its almost like a different bike and doesn't give a lot away to the 450's now

The torque would be lovely, the WRR aint happy till ~7k revs.

Yeah multi bike is looking like the way for me.... Might buy (Borrow) the old mans PE 250 and get it running sweet for the fun factor in the dirt.

Nice picks and me jealous to. Mind you I'm doing a Road trip to Rotovegas and napier over the next two days for work....

Sounds like I will need to come over and assist with set up and testing in all of those case's

Would start with PE's and controlled sorties and see which is more likely to make the better ADV bike (could trailer them somewhere legalish first) and then take it from there, its going it will be a big job with lots of sliding and wheelies involved

O well them's the breaks

Just did a road trip to Whanganui to pick up RMX so shouldn't complain (but will anyway )

Are you going to head down to Hamilton for ADV NZ get together next Tues evening ?

[Keithf]

Probably not at this stage

I have been to get out of the house in the moring so might have a go at this Sat morning-have to be back in Auckland by middayish


[QUOTE=oneblackflag;1130698640]Had a bad day what better way to get over it than thrashing the bike

Went down Mangiti Rd and Te Akau Warf Rd to look out over Raglan Harbor to Raglan, had a close call with a semi on Mangiti Rd just had enough room to squeeze down the side of it and stay upright. Mangiti Rd has just had fresh gravel layed on it so it got a bit sketchy with the pressure I had in the tyres, let them down a bit then had me some fun

Based on One Black Flags posting about a ride aorund Tahuna I did a few of these today, came in at Coalmine Road-never realaised there was a coal mine there and exitied at old North Road onto SH27. Tried to do the same tracks from memory in this post and failed. Had to be home by one but shouldn't have botherered as she who must be obeyed went off and did something else

Only really missed Matahuru/Ohinewai rd (one of the better bits), nice day for it though. I thought you were heading down the west coast, could have met you somewhere today as I live nearby.

Bloody Woman aye...
