Winter bike mods

[sand.man]

I think we had a thread like this on here before but I couldn't find it, we had some good chatter going on if I recall...

So, what are you doing to your bike this winter to prepare for next year or get more competetive?

 

[Fireman]

Adding rad guards, hand guards and a set of trelleborgs so I can ride till mid December.

 

[sand.man]

Sounds cold, I don't like cold!

Let's expand this thread to include rumors about the track... have they started any of the changes that the white haired fellow made promise on?

 

[Fireman]

Yes they have

Mine is getting a trip to the suspension spa and some work to help me past the 66hp I'm currently at.

 

[scaryfast]

I am thinking a new bike. Mmmmmm.....new bike

 

[S-african]

I'm also thinking new bike ... Mmmmm

Although I don't have a bike at the moment, so any bike would be new. But I want to get back into racing again for 2015, so I'm starting to look for the next race bike.

Something new for Jesse that would be better than a fairly recent ZX10... What could that be?

 

[Fireman]

Just bought heated grips. Thought you would like to know Ryan. It's going to be chilly this week. Going out again next weekend.

What about you?

I think what you need (who doesn't need one) is a nice 600rr. They look good and they do awesome wheelies! I know a guy with one for sale , special deal for you!

I'll be detuning and putting my bike on a weight gainer over winter.

 

[sand.man]

Detune and weight gain? Is it over the CSBK HP limit and under the weight cutoff?

Apparently you have to use a stock battery too, according to the rulebook.

I might pull the engine from the SM and check the crank for runout / rod play, port the new head and properly set up all my clearances and squish since I rushed the build last time. Might put in a new CP piston, I'll have to see how the current one looks after one season.

I'll be experimenting with E85 fuel in the next couple of weeks. Should see 5-10% over Premium, and it's still "pump gas". So, you know, less dollars.
