Bucket update

**Ivan** · 20th November 2007, 14:26

Is it just me or is buckets following Moto GP It was alot of 2 smokes now days you struggle to see alot of 2 strokes lines the grids and pollute the air with that organic smell of 2 stroke wofting,

Now all we hear is the sound of someone wanking................. Well I mean a 4 stroke as any more than 2 strokes and your playing with yourself..............
No does this mean Im turnign into a wnaker all over again?

OK, so I put that through a txt to English translator, a spell check, a 'find the missing full stops and remove random dots' complier and got something legible.

The short response is no. It's about 50/50 at the moment. Something you would know if you turned up.

(fuck that's rich coming from me!)

I run stock Suzuki valves, they lasted two years of revving the snot out of it, I put in aftermarket valves and they shit themselves in 1.5 meetings

The motor is a DR125 so we could get the 6 speed gearbox which were told was close ratio (it isn't) to fit it in the GN just meant making up new front engine mounts

It was originally a GN125 engine which had a ported head, A GN250 carb and slightly crappier built exhaust system

When I bought it I had the crank lightened,balanced and stroked to make it a 140 and had a cam ground for it, the exhaust is a full stainless mandrel bent system and I kept the GN250 carb

The front end is a GSXR250 which I had the steering stem pressed out of the GN triple clamp and fitted into the GSXR bottom triple clamp

The rear Swingarm is also from the GSXR but modified to make it a twin shocker, it took 5 hours work alone on that, it was shortened to the same length as the GN and I machined up some bushes to suit, it actually worked out about 4-5mm to wide for the frame but I borrowed a porta power and sorted that

It runs total loss and doesn't have a flywheel, Stanko racing machined me up a trigger wheel to suit and now I've added a 33mm Mikuni pumper carb which needs jetting to suit as it runs way to rich

I hadn't run it for 2 years until recently as I bought a FXR150, but the GN would out handle a FXR easily, once I get it running properly I'll see how it stacks up but I suspect the FXR will have a HP advantage

The reverse cone mega ends 75mm into the canister on the end which has is actually a muffler, although I'd have to say it muffles fuck all but is still quieter than Diesel Pigs CB125T

I thought I should get my shit together with the final round coming up this weekend, I've had all month and I've now finally got the flywheel back on.

Don't know if it's going to run yet though, the lil one had just gone to bed so I wasn't aloud to test run it.

So, tomorrow night I'll be pushing it up and down the drive...hope it's sunny.

Craig, you still good to give me a lift on Sunday?

Ivan, is this the CBR you were racing?

How much does Nathan want for it, do you know?

**Sully60** · 20th November 2007, 21:47

Firstly why did the site go all pink and Ghey??? I'm a bit scared. Even the vid wouldn't imbed, freaky shit man!

Anyway as promised I have brought the noise.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lh9MhofYg0

The video isn't my best work but I didn't have a lot of time as the neighbours really don't appreciate this sort of behavior!

And I'm a bit of a novice with the sound meter, the sample rate is a bit slow so the highest reading was 120dB and then it vibrated off the seat

I can tell you standing ther twisting the throttle to redline with no ear protection was actually painful.
A bit like the pain of defeat that I will be dishing out on Sunday!

Yes Slingshot I'll pick you up but there'll be a bit less width availble in the ute now, Uh uh uh uh (Tim the toolman styles)
