» Kawasaki Release 2011 ZX10R World Superbike
Sep 03, 2010 - 9:21 AM - by Blade RR
Kawasaki unveiled the 2011 zx10r Ninja WSBK yesterday at the Nurburgring () that will make their assault in 2011 on the World Superbike Circuit.

Ichiro Yoda (kawasaki's project director) said that this bike has been designed specifically for track use.

So i'd say expect a rather ballistic bike in road trim ?

The road going version of the 2011 zx10r Ninja will be launched early October this year.

Well I went to my usual station for juice this morning

Redzone motorcycles. Filled up & went to pay, bollix no
cashcard. The missus had taken it to put juice in her cage
last night & neverr put it back.
So I told the lad the story I asked him could I drop
it to him later. He said we don't usually do that but he agreed.
He asked me to write down my name, address & phone numbers.
I thanked him very much & was on my way.
I rang the wife when I got to work & she's gonna go down & pay it.

PERFECT CONDITIONS FOR SENIOR CLASSIC COMPETITORS AT THE MANX GRAND PRIX AS ROY RICHARDSON TAKES HIS SECOND TITLE OF THE WEEK IN DRAMATIC LAST LAP


- Chris McGahan secures inaugural Formula Classic title for 750cc machines
Race fans were again treated to perfect conditions on the Isle of Man for the 2010 Manx Grand Prix, sponsored by visitisleofman.com, for the rescheduled Senior Classic Race, which was postponed from yesterday following the red flag incident during the Junior MGP.

This year’s Senior Classic featured the introduction of 750cc machines for the first time and a total of 46 riders lined up on the Grid, including 6 in the Formula (750cc) Class.

MIXED LUCK FOR

TEAM COLIN APPLEYARD RIDERS


2 September 2010



Team Colin Appleyard / Macadam Racing returned to Cadwell Park at the weekend, the scene of impressive performances from both Jack Kennedy and Deane Brown back in May.

The team’s Supersport 600 Championship rider Jack Kennedy had to contend with a wet first qualifying session , but showing his usual form in these conditions he provisionally put it on the front row with a very impressive 3rd place. The following day in a very windy but dry 2nd qualifying he still managed a very creditable 9th position, and 3rd row on the grid. A big improvement on the last two rounds.

In Sunday’s race he did not have the best of first laps and... [Read More]

» Honda Deauville Clutch Slippage - Suggested Remedy
Sep 02, 2010 - 9:35 PM - by Seamie_irl
Thought I'd share my experiences here. Apparently, the problem is a known issue with Deauvilles.

Problem:
Severe clutch slippage on Honda Deauville NT650V2 at all but the most modest of acceleration.

On Inspection:
Friction Plates checked with Vernier Caliper. All within Service Limits. Clutch cable at max length.

Remedy:
Add 1 plain plate against first plain plate (thus giving a double-thickness plain plate) to clutch. Clutch cable needs to be adjusted to take account of clutch depth change.

Result:
No slippage at any acceleration in any gear.

A question for techs on here, when decating an r1 and fitting a full exhaust system, does the bike need a remap? ( powercommander) to adjust the mixture or will it be fine on standard ecu?

The reason i ask i know some bikes require a fuel retune after fittng aftermarket exhausts, but unsure about r1`s.

» Green card insurance?
Sep 02, 2010 - 6:48 PM - by JonnyBoy
Asking coz I think of riding an Irish or UK bike outside the EU, could you tell me what exactly is the green card insurance (wiki)?

Is it only in addition to the insurance policy you already have and you cant have it without being insured

or

It is insurance policy of its own that can be bought as the only insurance of a bike.

If the latter is applicable, where do you buy it and what are the rider/bike/license requirements?

» YZF750 Carb sync
Sep 02, 2010 - 8:31 AM - by b1k3rPete
Was looking at the carbs on one of these last weekend. not sure of the exact bike model ('95 reg).
Do you have to remove the carbs to get at the vac gauge connectors and should there be 'adapters' in place or are they a separate part that needs to be bought and fitted. There seems to be a 'vacuum plug' type of bolt fitted on one of the carbs and it appears that whoever did the job last time left a couple of hoses in place on carbs 2 and 3.

» Fazer 600 "flat spot"
Sep 01, 2010 - 8:37 PM - by biosed
Hey lads,

Put a new engine in the fazer and now I have a problem around 7k to 9k in the higher gears.

First: No Problem
Second: 2 to 3 second delay and slow progression from 7k to 9k and then massive power
Third: 4 to 5 secs from 7k to 9k
Forth: 5 to 8 secs from 7k to 9k
Fifth: 5 to 10 secs from 7k to 9k
Sixth: 10 to 15 secs from 7k to 9k (with full throttle won't get over 8k)

The engine seems to "garrgle" if I throttle hard into the 7k mark in a high gear, only way I can describe it.

Some have suggested this is a flat spot in fazers, but the power comes on very strong once it gets past 9k, so I don't think thats it.

Any ideas?

Michael Sweeney has been declared the winner of todays abandonded Manx Junior race after Simon Fulton who initially won the race incurred a time penelty for speeding through yellow flags. This penelty placed Fulton third with Michael Sweeney moving up to the top step of the podium.

Also moving up along with the Skerries man is Wayne Kirwan who is officially placed 2nd. I know they events of the day cast a big shadow over the race but I think that big congratulations should go the our own two lads who have put in a huge effort over the last week. Well done also to Hammer who was moving up fast just before the race was stopped. Well done all.
