Actually, pretty major tuning is allowed, you've just got make it work with a standard carb.

But the point was that I've got a c90 with non-standard forks Sad

Standard carb and standard bore.

Only a small carb as standard, so not alot to be gained, especially if you sacrifice reliability. We will see.

I've got a set of standard forks you can borrow, but I'd need them back afterwards.

Quick update, pics to follow when they're up.

Amazing day,

Started 24th out of 36, at 11.00 my brother stacked it and we were down to 21st, got a bit of a squiffy on then and finished 13th with a best lap of 1,30.8.

Had a few front end issues! Stopped it chattering so much with a lower front tyre pressure.

DEFINATELY need a quicker engine next year. We struggled on outright speed, alot of bikes pulled away on the big long straights. Especially frustrating if you got on the power sooner than them!

Edit, nice to meet Gmanxii off here too, shame they struggled with the bike a little bit, falling to pieces and things! Mr. Green

Lots of fast stuff on C90s with stock suspension?

Maybe happy I missed it, then Smile

Was there much crashing?

Glad you had fun and did ok, etc.

When we did the BEMSEE moped thingy I found the track a bit boring on our DNA125 - most of the track just at wide open throttle with no traction issues.

While the supermopedathon (which seems to have died a death Sad

) had a nice course involving lots of tight corners and while there was plenty of wide open throttle, you could still make better progress pushing the limits of traction, keeping the speed up through corners etc. Seemed about right for a stock c90 (well, only just used 3rd with the stock, but I find 3rd pretty lethargic on the road too.)
