Top end isn't too difficult and can easily be done with motor in frame.

Might even stop over and do the lakes if I feel the urge and can be arsed to pack. So if anyone is around that way tomorrow around lunch-ish, look out for a red ...

Ha ha, God? No chance m8, not my thing. But I do feel I was lucky to survive - see below for pic of huge farm impliment that I missed by a few feet. However, that good fortune was balanced out by the bad fortune of crashing in the first place and depleting my assets to the tune of £6,500, followed ...

Naaaaaa parachutes are for homosexuals :lol: Anyway, would have been no use as I was only 50ft up and it wouldn't climb, combination of circumstances etc etc. I mean I've flown the thing to the south of France and back, yet crashed it at the airstrip it lived at! Never mind, life's all about learnin...

Still here! Never did get it back on Roger's dyno, but had it on one at the Farmyard rally and it was still down a bit. However it was a mad hot day. I lapped the valves in and rebuilt the top end, which completely sorted the iffy spot it had at 4 - 5 thou, and it was going well. Then on July 5th, I...

They all have poor suspension as standard. Best thing to do is budget for a fork tune by Roger at Revolution Racing. This transforms the soggy soft front end into a sweet pair of forks that will handle pretty much anything you throw at them. Costs about £200 and it is a bargain. Then you can raise ...

Remember that your speedo will now over read by a huge amount.

Factory built in error of 5-6% will be compounded by gearing change of around 8-10% (guess) meaning you will be doing about 85-90 when it says 100 (ish!)

Kingster
15/42 + "speedo healer" set to +12% to compensate :wink:
