I've just scrolled down and found the picture of your bike and could see the gixxer wheels.. nice looking bike by the way. :D
Did you put a 10mm spacer on the rear sproket to match the 10mm on the front? I only ask as I am having a 4.25 spoked rim on the rear with a 150x70 18 tyre and I already have a 530 chain on the bike....
Can I suggest using a colour tune to set up the idle.
I found that just adjusting the idle screws is pointless unless you are a carburetor jedi, with the colour tune you can see the burn as you...
Those Aussies are special, it must be the heat.. Brilliant to watch though. :cool:
Thanks for the tip Dan as I have not done that yet.. :D
Done and thanks for all the hard work in running the site.
Happy new year Dan.
Update time.
When I checked the bike over after a good shake down which included 2 track days at Brands Hatch motor racing curcuit in Kent UK I found the chain had started to tighten up on a...
Agemax, I did read your conversion and really liked the way you did the whole job, if I was looking to do a permanent conversion thats the one I would go for, I might still do it anyway.. :rolleyes:
To be fair I did not expect the conversion to make that much difference.
I have a luggage weighing doofa that I will try and get a base line figure for effort to move the lever before conversion...

I never thought that I would be a track day type of person but it's so much fun.
The day was run by The Bike Shed MCC https://bikeshedmoto.com/ and it was for any inapropriate motorcyles so...
So, I went and done it again at 56 years old this time.... :cool:
I went back to Brands Hatch on the 17th Sept for another day of fun in the sun and it was 28c which is slightly warm by UK...
Here's mine just for another idea.

I did have the biggest grim all day and I did ache alot for the next 2 days..
It is a GSX 1100 et tank with the single centre mounting at the seat.
The guards did not touch down and...
It's a complete Racefit system Ti from the head to the can :cool: it sound very nice when you give the ole girl some beans.
The headers coloured up on the initial startup and I had the air screws out to far and it was running lean plus the day was 38c.. The bike is running fine now and I have removed the blueing from the...
The bike is now finished, well at least for the moment.

It runs like a charm and is quite nippy.

Well, I have now popped my track day cherry :cool: It was quite possibly the best fun you can have clad in leather.. :mask:

At long last I have the GS back with the exhaust made and fitted.
