Pitbike Supermoto - Round 1/2 race report - UPDATE

[garth]

Nope, I put spacers in and thicker oil and they don't feel bad but still too soft.

To be fair the best way for me to go quicker is to lose some weight, but I'll never be featherlight because I'm 6,1" tho.

Best go take some measurements. I'd rather not change the yokes too.

Wonder what I am with my kit on, I am about 77kg without currently at 6'.

I am now the owner of that pit bike agreed £800 with him and either meeting his mate at the NMRRC round on Sunday or driving up to Yorkshire to pick it up at the weekend.

Can't wait to get cracking on it! Are there any test days at the tracks your way soon? First race meeting for me should be the NMRRC one 11th May, fits in nicely between the Thundersport rounds at Snetterton and Cadwell.

Angmering and Matchams will have loads of availability I expect mate, just phone them up and check.

Ordered my replacement tyres in the correct compound this time. Fitted me Z40 cam yesterday too, with the new springs. Can't really afford forks yet but I'll see what happens later on in the year.

[Red Devil]

When are you next out? Remembered I should have a C90 exhaust in my shed from our failed build for the endurance race.

Think I'll be out when I'm next racing which is 13th April?

I want to get a practice in before then if I can because I need to sort gearing, but I'm not about the weekend before so that might not happen.

You'll need another downpipe for the can.

[Red Devil]

I'm racing on the R6 at Donington that weekend so that's a no go. I was looking at doing 11th May with NMRRC but I have two race meetings and my van MOT due that month so need to see how much commission I get from this month first

What down pipe do I need?

Just a standard front pipe mate, they're about a tenner on ebay.

So I just bought forks I'm now very poor. Hope they're worth the (considerable!) cost, I know the rear shock was an improvement.

[P.]

Are the majority of "upgrades" on the forks chinese?

[garth]

Yeah. You can get Marzocchi's or whatever, I'm not allowed them and they're stupid money.

SP forks are ting tong, adjustable and £160 ish.

I got Fastace AS-01's which were a bit more than that, but already come with the twin pot brake that fits. (Different mounts on the adjustable ones)

I'm not changing yokes if I can help it.

I want my bits!

[P.]

Well, come the end of May, I may need some assistance with some set ups and that... Is it just C90 exhaust but any old header?

[Red Devil]

Good lad

Picked up my bike last night from Yorkshire after a shite track day full of problems with the R6 at Donington. Suspension feels awesome although the set up is well off atm with the rebound on the front being too fast and the rear too slow so I'll have a play before my first time out. Brembo MC feels awesome and the exhaust sounds sooo good, can't wait to ride it!

Ah brembo-ness would have to go too if you wanted in at Matchams (to race that is) but nice one. My forks are being delivered today apparently.

This one is up for sale for £500 incl transponder which seems like a pretty good deal, it's on the matchams fb page. It's got a decent rear shock too and what looks like sp forks.

Deals!

[P.]

Garth, those tyres, are they just off road use or can they be used on the roads?

My idea is to have a road reg'd one so I can get it tested

[G]

[garth]

I don't know if they're road legal or not but they do other compounds in the same tread pattern - You'd never get caught. They're shit in the wet though. Properly shit in the wet.

[Red Devil]

Can I use my AMB 260 transponder?

Already got a couple of transponders (both 260s I think) sitting around somewhere, but yes, can't hurt to have another .

Will have a look-see at the ad.

[Quornholio]

As I said previously (I think).

I wish they'd do something like this oop norf.

I've got two because the battery is dead on one and I didn't have the time to get it replaced etc .
