Ke125

[kel]

I looked at the disc setup for the 175 a few years back, it was a no go with the 125 cases, a bit like the KH250 clutch basket I was going to install That 118m disk sure would be nice though, maybe it could be adapted to the Rotor housing side of the cases for the RG cylinder motor?
The RG400/500 disc as standard are 112mm and will fit into the KE125 valve cover once the O'ring is machined out, of course you still need to adapt it to the crankshaft. The disk I have is 113mm and made for the modified GP125 motors. We had to cut down a GP 125 drive gear to the same width as the KE drive gear and skim the disk cover but that was all that was required so a nice easy mod.
The motor is going to be a very different machine, I've become very greedy and am going for all out horsepower

OK I have all the bits, just need to put the top end back together, which means no Taupo
Probably just as well as it smashed the Hyosungs last time out, the bloody commentator was going on about the 150 two stroke having an unfair power advantage. Waving at the camera on one of the bikes as I passed it down the straight may have been a give away regarding the power advantage

Im somewhat pissed at the engine reconditioner (that shall remain nameless) as the cylinder came back with bits of base gasket still on it. Yeah I should have prepped it fully myself ... I wonder what the odds are of having a bore that is parallel with the crank now. I guess it will shit itself fairly quickly if its not right. Never mind close my eyes and tell myself everything is fine.
Dyno set up next week 32hp is the goal, but I'll settle for an even 30!

bugger regan said he would only go if you did )-;

I'm not so sure, there's some quick riding up the front of development at the moment! That race with the hyosungs wasn't a very good indicator, there weren't many fast riders there. With 30hp yes you will be trashing a lot of them but it wouldn't be a walk in the park like last time.

I'm not so sure,

32 hp I will start filling out the protest form now.

32 in the computer = 27 on the dyno = 25 at the start of the race = 19 at the end of the race!

32 in the computer = 27 on the dyno

Dude it was already 27hp

[jasonu]

32 in the computer = 27 on the dyno = 25 at the start of the race = blowing up before the end of the race!

Fixed it for ya...

great to see you have everyone onside there Kel

True, I guess it's something more like:
Got 27, add mods to get to 32, end up at a peaky 24.

I would like to clarify there is nothing personal here, no digs, just cynical observation of how 'horsepower hope' often plays out....

That's OK, we all know the non believers will burn for all eternity (with the smell of two stroke ever present)

Bloody hell, keep away from those pessimist pills.
Be a believer not a hater

And about time my magic beast was bucket of the month eh.

Doesn't matter how well you feed them, those bloody sneaky horse-powers are always skiving off and hiding some place, bastards.....
