She is sounding pretty good considering its not fully set up and it's only done 70miles or so. I reckon it'll sound a bit different after the dyno set up though as my crap two stroke ear, says it's not quite there jetting wise yet?
Pain on the sexy Rad leak though mate. Being alloy, I reckon for someone with the right gear, it'll be a 30second job hopefully for a drink token.
My 200 rad is at the most local alloy radiator specialist, and I've give them the go ahead to do an uprated thicker alloy replica. The quote made me almost spit my tea all over the floor, as it was about double what I'd expected.
Can't really put a price on keeping a tuned hotter running engine safe though, that's what I've told myself anyway. |

Hi
As Pete says, but how is it plumbed in to take coolant from the top of the engine and feed it to the bottom of the radiator? From the pics it looks like it would be possible to run the pipes to the other connections on the rad.
The Rotax water pump is not particularly powerful (impeller rather than pump). Doesn't need to be normally, but if pushing against natural water flow it might well struggle.
All the best

Dude, I hope you can find an easy way to re route the pipes the other way, as I'd hate for you to cook a nice fresh Rotax if the current set up is an issue. If it's not cooling well enough this way, the dyno will kill it quickly, as bikes get hot quickly on the dyno anyway.
Oh and tell your mate that his bike has far too much engine forced to fit into far too little bike for anyone with an ounce of sanity!
Seriously though, a pit bike with a 14000rpm 40bhp 250 race engine must be one mean son of a bitch to try and use fully! |

Have another set of rims to fit some PMT Slicks to, for the track.
The PMT BlackFires that are currently fitted are road legal.
Super stick tyres too. Start riding it properly now. ____________________ - Honda XL125S - CBR400 NC29 - VFR400 NC30 - CBR400 NC29 - TL1000R - TeeZeR Pit! - Bandit 12 - YZF450 - LuckyMX125 Pit! - Demon X XLR 140 Pit!

Well I should have put the thing on 12's from the start.
A totally different bike. Rides like a supermoto pit bike now. Can bank it over like my race bike without any fear of losing grip.
Went for a little rip with my pal on his 250 the other day.
Got my arse royally handed to me. No comparison what so ever!
I was hammering the life out of the Rotax, and the CRF250 pit bike was just lifting the front wheel and taking off, every time.
The thing is an absolute demon!

That thing instantly looks as fucking hard as nails, with the 12's on instead! Can't believe the difference tbh!
And I'm a fan of cast alloy wheels, and liked the look alot before. Has the gearing changed much with the new wheels?
Oh and your mate is a total deranged loonie +100 |

Fucking love it!
You've gotta make that pic your screen saver too!
Seeing the Rotax pit chasing down a CRF150 race bike is just epic tbh!
I knew it would have pace, I guess it's making as usable a possible and making it handle how you want it to is the key.
Need a sound clip of this thing on a track though x100! |

Had a little tinker this morning.
I've gone up to a 41t rear sprocket now, making the gearing a lot shorter than it was.
Original set up was 13" wheels, with 17:40 sprockets.
Then went to 12" wheels, with 15:39 sprockets.
But now i've gone with 15:41 sprockets on the 12s, and I think, I may even get away with dropping the front to a 14 for some of the smaller tracks, as I was only getting into 4th gear at Rowrah, and that's got some long straights on it.
I've moved the foot pegs up to 320mm (From 260mm) so have plenty of ground clearance now.
Enough to drop yokes down a bit on the forks to assist with faster turning in.
I've bought a coolant temp sensor which needs fitting.
And I've fitted a new number board, without a headlight.
Full track ready now.
And I'm in talks about having a nice seat cover made up as the cheapy one that's on it has ripped.
Hopefully I will be able to get it on a dyno before Whilton Mill next month.

Looks tough as fuck on 12's with slicks!
Interested to see what it makes on the dyno too! What is it geared for now 75ish? |

Booked and paid for Round-10 Whilton Mill.
Doing double practice on the Saturday, but only racing the open class (on the pit bike) on Sunday, as I'm only there to battle for the championship.
Currently in 1st place in the open class, 2nd is about 8 points shy of me. It's all to play for.
But, booked for Stock and open practice on the Saturday, so I can take the Aprilia and have some fun again.

I've bought a new frame to build the Rotax into.
It's proper pit bike sized, and will work better with my seat, plastics etc.
Lighter and smaller than the current frame too.
Not road legal unfortunately, but I'm not overly fussed. I'll be sticking the old frame up for sale, along with the yokes, forks, and wheels.
