F@#%k F@#%k F@#%k !!!!!!!!!!!

[Tony.OK]

Bear in mind though Tony, they get a fucken hiding during that 6000 kays.

They should handle that really I would've thought,if stock that is,shit mines still under warranty,just don't tell Bluewing its a racebike

[ArcherWC]

na not stock, race kit stuff.

I know of properly built race motors chernobling after 800-1500 kays mate.

I'm fucken shaking my head in sheer bewilderment right here. He reckons what?!!!!

How the hell can someone claim to be a motorcycle "tester" for a profession, then publicly state that they lack the skill to actually handle the machine they're testing? There is actually a bit more to riding a bike than "getting the lines right".

I've ridden a K7 in C mode. Once. It was the most gutless heap of shit I've ever had this misfortune of riding. Anyone that can't handle it in "A", needs to learn exactly what the twisty bit on the right actually does.

I'm fucken disgusted a so called professional could make such a claim.

Edit: Bro, point me in the direction of said magazine. I'm writing a letter

Don't know about the C grade mode, but most seem to suggest the K7 is faster in B mode. Who thinks it faster? Ex All Japan 125 and 250 GP rider Atushi Murata, who is the Suzuki settings test rider admits that he set his fastest time around Phillip Island at the launch of the K7 using B mode. Kevin Schwantz also stated that he was faster in B mode. This is info in the April 2007 Rapid Bikes magazine. You do know how the B mode works don't you?

Yeah, you do know how much better a bike handels more power with tuned/upgraded suspension and tyres dont ya?

I like to keep things simple, but this attitude that less power equals faster lap times is a fuckin joke when talking about race bikes!

I duuno about that, there's a difference between peak Hp and useable HP

Oh ok,whatever happens Brian,will look forward to talkin shit at your next doable race meet

Gulp........12 000kms on mine.................did I notice a puff of smoke last time I started it

[FROSTY:Me]

yea frosty misread it again--sheesh--ohh and thanks trashy lifes so much more peacefull now kettlepots on iggy

[Teambwr47]

Seems that either the NZ weather makes bikes produce more power than elsewhere in the world or there's plenty of complete BS being banded around in these parts re horsepower figures.

Dyno runs are useful for just one thing and that's taking a good, well maintained motor and developing it on the same dyno in as near conditions as possible between runs. They are a tuning/development tool for the skilled or a tool to boost egos/bullshit customers for others........

I've heard some people talking up how much they think a SP600 produces and it makes me chuckle when they quote figures beyond what my full FIM spec kitted 600's used to produce in Europe.

Says the guy who bought a bung bike....

Yup. "B" mode supposedly allows full power with a softer delivery, I can see how some people can run faster with that delivery. "C" mode gives 70% full power. It's shit.

We have two maps we use on the WBP bike. Map 2 is the one I ran at Wanganui. Essentially Ray tuned the bike for less engine braking through the stock clutch by telling the injection to slow down it's close off rate. We kept that as a backup map as I really liked the way it performed. It's also really nice for wet weather.

Our "Map 1" is 21HP up on stock, but tuned for the Yoshi clutch which requires 1/3 less back torque to slip, so is probably about the same on braking but the butterflys close at the same rate as the throttle.

I've yet to test both maps in the wet but when I do, we'll make a further decision on what way to go in terms of wet power delivery.

Actually, re. the suspension post, yes, Sam did have some trick shit going on. I was taking the piss out of RT's recent thread about the stuff he put in that bike, and how we should all buy some too.

Im sorry.... But do you realise how cool that sounds!?

But you're easily impressed Marty.

And those that try a sly dig are exposed as jealous, of talent and wit. (Needlessly since Jimmy has neither.)
