I'll book on this tomorrow. R u sure you want to be in the slow group? inters sound better to me?

rc46 · Post by **rc46** » Tue Mar 27, 2007 12:23 am

Only 2 reasons for this,

1. I have never riden this bike before in anger, I have no idea what its gona be like. I will be taking my time for the first 2 sessions, checking for leaks, plugs, nuts n bolts..etc

and

2. the chap im goning with hasnt ridden in a while so wants a bit of space to get his legs.

But normally we are in the Inters, If you wana book inters and all is well ill ask to be moved up...

Plus im a big Fag!!!

Dont worrie, LOL if she is as good as it felt going round the block today.. ill give ya a run LOL You wont see me pass ya (itll be that quick), but ill be behind somewhere ready to lap ya LOL

On a side note, did the gaskets today, stopped that leak (it was the inner gasket, it had been broken and wasnt sealing) took it for a run MMMM yeah what ever

it all seemd okay nothing special,Then Made the mistake of hitting the 8k mark on the Tacho in first gear today

Opps, back home change pants......Now figgured out why the NSR is a Scardy cats stroker......

LOL. The Kr is renowned for its power band. All or nothing is the way she goes. You need to try a few race starts on her, now thats entertaining.

I'll book into the inters then and see if you can get moved up it'll depend on how full the day is though. It should be the first time out for her with the new programable ignition. I have always said the bike is far more capable than the rider.

cool, id make sure you dont end up behind me at any point lol after looking at hat was inside the chamber i could be in for a black flag... LOL nah the bike fueling wise looks pretty well sorted now! but as i say the first few slow sessions should show up any problems!!!

Don't worry about that as I'm sure something will go wrong and I'm bound to have left the replacement parts sat in my garage at home. something is bound to knacker up my day one way or another

Anyway can you PM me your contact details again so we can make sure we meet up proper on the day? Pitch up with the bikes on the LHS near the fuel pumps? hoping to have the new ignition fitted and set up by then but I really need to book some dyno time first.

Got your wets fitted ready?

I'm hopeing to have the old girl fitted into her new cloths for then. Won't have finished the paint work although I've decided on a traditional green black number. Trying to get hold of some Kr-1R tank decals ATM. They are still listed as available and I've got them on back order from Japan.

Oh and the new ignition won't be fitted in time either.

No Wets Fitted, Just me dunlops, Im not a hudge wet fan, Dont tell me "Looks like rain"

fecking hope it stays dry Hate rain!

Iv still got the rear end off at the momment Im still waiting for Me Tie rods to Show, they should have been finished and sent out by now, Ill have to chase in the morning..... FECK!!!

Then a quick once over, slap the fairing on and Ta Da!

That rear wheel is a Real KU&T to fit its a bloody interferance fit

with the RGV spacers LOL!!! Oh Well,

Bringing Ol faithful with me just incase Lady KR falls apart!!!! But my fingers are firmly crossed so that i dont need to take her out....Mind that would be intresting sticking yer KR up against the CBR!!!!!! that should give a very good idea of how good the little 250s are!!!

Well don't blaim me for those spacers as i never made them

.

Still got to work on setting the carbs up, not quite there at slow speed carburisation yet. Probably a bit richer on the primary air. So I'll play with them when I next have to re jet the bike.

Apart from that I'll bring a spare clutch with me just in case my gremlins appear again but I'm hopefully I've solved the problem with the clutch dragging.

rc46 · Post by **rc46** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 11:54 am

Aye theres the clutch MMMMM mine drags real bad, Hope it holds out!!

FECKING TIE RODS ARE STILL NOT HERE

grrrr

the-elf · Post by **the-elf** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 7:25 pm

Have your tie rods turned up yet?

Tested the clutch I fitted today and it works a treat

. So guess it'll be something else that knackers up.

rc46 · Post by **rc46** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 12:11 am

Aye, there ready, they have sent them out today in the post, worse case (they dont sho by saturday) my mate will pick em up saturday for me when he's at his folks, and bring em with on monday as he'll be there....But i hope they turn up in the post as i wanted to fit it all at home and give the bike a quick once over!!!

rc46 · Post by **rc46** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 7:52 pm

Its Here..................

Back together, And ready to go, Have to say the tie rods have made a diffrence but its not as extreme..... Stearing damper still feels like itll get in the way, And rear shock needs adjusting!!!! Carbs didnt flood, Choke worked, And ran on tick over with no issues!!!!!

And what a great day it was as well. Bike went like a rocket and I even managed to get the jetting almost right. Just need a pair of richer needles.
