mossrider Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 To change the ergos a bit I was gonna add new clip on's with a 1 inch rise but as you can see in the pic they hit the upper tripple bolts and won't fit. Grinched! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howlinhoss Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Get the woodcraft spacers. It will give you the room you need to clear the upper triple bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossrider Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 Also added the Gilles Tooling adjuster/spools. No more prop and pray. Bout time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybmx Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Which sprocket is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossrider Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Which sprocket is that?It's a Superlite (steel) 520. It weighs a tad more than aluminum 520's but holds up much better. I used, and liked, Vortex (àluminum) on my SV. I decided to try Driven (aluminum 520) on this bike. It ate the first 2 rears quickly tho. I discovered that if you don't have extra slack due to the increased swingarm angle and set your alignment perfectly the extra torque and engine braking will eat em quickfast. Happy with the Superlite. That's a DID ERV3 chain, love those. Note: when I upgraded the shock I played with the rear suspension and discovered if you increase rear ride height you have to allow quite a bit more slack than one might think. I also made a large caliper to measure the swingarm center to axle center on both sides and match them. The adjuster tick marks are ever so slightly off. In all honesty now I don't think I would have any more trouble eating sprockets. She spins nice and quiet now☺ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogokawi Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I can't remember why I couldn't use the spacers for the clip-ons. Either it hit the fairing or it still hit the bolt. An aftermarket upper trip with the bolts on the inside would be wonderful. R6 front-end! Yams and Ham! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you I ruined the shiney by throwing it down the track. But, I built it to beat it ?. I'm getting too old to 'race tuck', sometimes 10 races per weekend. Meh.

mossrider Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Well, I got the spacers on and I think I'll be able to make this work. They are a little close to the fairing at full lock each way but managable. Beer belly likes the added room, think 'race tuck tilt'. post img Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossrider Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 The face of an incredible first season on board the new R. Our 5 hour endurance team prior to the start of the season finale @ BIR. Fast guys Jesse to my right and Luke on my left. Thanks again fellas! I had some competent help during development too. This is 11th place finisher in the 2016 Daytona 200, Kris Skellenger tearing it up on board the R. "Like an under powered R6 that never trys to kill you." High praise! My base of operations for midpack lightweight world domination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossrider Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Some things have come up precluding this winters off season southern track tour....so.... I've dropped it off at the skunk works for a month or so of dyno/tuning work to see what we can get from it in Supersport form. Excited to see what the starting point was and where it ends up and to have real data to work from. It ran strong and butter smooth all season on a canned Flash Tune flash but I think we'll be adding a PC for additional tunability and messing with all the SS tricks such as head work, cam timing, squish, decking blah blah. I realize I'm limited to upper 70's without getting into GP spec which allows more significant engine mods but it'll be nice to have the dyno pulls to see if the torque curves have been optimized for peak performance. Interested also in seeing how the motor faired after a hard years racing. Only downside (beside damage to bank account) is when I still suck I'll be unable to blame my equipment ?

mossrider Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 I miss my wubby. I had to resort to cleaning the carb on my Rukus pit bike. Then I did the snow blower. I wonder if there's a flash for and old Noma 8 horse? Winter stinks. This was my first experience with carbs... (approx 1970) all hail FI! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossrider Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Interesting side note, I was messing around with my trip meter and noticed my average mpg for a 1500 mile race season was 24.8 mpg. Roughly half what a normally riden FZ07 would be. ? Also got a baseline on the bike, right at 75, right where it should be. Now we'll see what she does with a massage and dyno tune for both pump and race gas (U4.4) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossrider Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 This off season update project started off as a simple set of clipons. A 5 minute project. How hard could it be? Be careful what you start folks... Suddenly this; upload my picture What the hell happened? upload images in for a penny, in for a pound I guess. 1500 miles WFO! The clip on's connected to the crankshaft, the crankshaft connected to your wallet, hmm hmmm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member pgeldz Posted February 28, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted February 28, 2017 Are you going to go back to Chuckwalla any time soon? If so, I'll definitely see you there. My buddy and I picked up some R3's and I've started my own race team. We're gonna race in the lightweight classes - Paulie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if I'll make it back this season as my daughter's getting married. I have 5 race weekends and a couple track days scheduled. I had to go back to work to pay my crack dealer too. Congrats on the team. The little bikes are a hoot! And cheap fun to boot. Have fun, I know I have. And post up pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
