I got some work done on my Trackie yesterday, Front Brakes looked at so there is a chance they may work now
Carbies Balanced (apparently they were well out!) and Valve clearances checked as I haven't done a thing to the bike since I got it! After it was done they stuck it on the Dyno



I was quite happy with the result! 84.5HP out of a 14 year bike that only gets taken out to be thrashed!

That's pretty damned good. Weren't these things touted as only having 100hp at the crank when new?

Not bad, but I thought being ex TKA it may have had a bit more.. I think 80hp is about std..

BTW, in regard to the call the other day I found this on my warmers..

• 500W power for rear tire and 400W for the front tire. You can use it on a 1 KVA generator. We assure you to finish heating within 30 minutes; Then the tires will precisely stay at any temperature between 30C -99C that you desire.

Check out the front Hoffy there is a miss match with the TYRES (yes thats how you spell TYRES) The rear obviously has more circumference (sp) it would be great to have that extra rear bit for big slides

The only way they are going is if I chuck it down the track! The bike has fixed solid footpegs and as it is I scrape them cornering! also check out my exhaust

this is just from cornering! if you can tell me how to get it over anymore to wear off a chicken strip I'll be interested to hear it!

And Madkaw you got me thinking, the motor the bike has now isn't the original race motor! it's actually out of a 2000 model so only 8 years old not 14, but the motors are identical spec (which is why I can run it in new era 2) Cheers for the tyre warmer specs I'll give that generator a miss for now I think!

Paul thats only 1 side to worry about hows about retrofitting some rearsets

I have considered it! but the bloody things are so expensive mind you digging a solid peg in while cornering could end up being expensive (and painful) too! It's particularly off putting on turn 8 at EC
I may have to see what the wreckers have available
