Re: EMRA Round 1 May 27
No, Barry is still the best yammie mechanic around, Gurpreet is a friend from the track that in exchange for helping me twiddle some bolts will ride it at the track for rest of the season.

Re: EMRA Round 1 May 27
Thanks Mike, but as of yesterday I stopped the meds totally and feel pretty good. Putting the bike together should be no problem with Gurpreet at the wrenches.

Re: EMRA Round 1 May 27
Expecting a couple more aha moments the more I get into it, but was surprised to see the r/h side upper rad bracket popped off the top of the rad. Looks like factory employed a couple rivets and a type of epoxy on this nice flat portion, hopefully this means some JB weld on my part will also work. W...

Re: EMRA Round 1 May 27
Forks are straight and clean, front fender needs replacing, or some gorilla tape. The clip on trick I mentioned earlier, taking the registration bolts out, allowed the clip ons to swivel and not damage the tubes. The teflon tape under the lever perch on each side allowed them to pivot and not even b...

Re: EMRA Round 1 May 27
the bike actually looks worse than it is. may end up doing the HRC kit resevoir conversion eventuall, but for now bending the resevoir bracket will suffice. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v639/yzf1000jon/crashedracebike.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v639/yzf1000jon/crashedracebike2.jpg ht...

Re: EMRA Round 1 May 27
Yup, small plate and a handful of screws. Feels like the sawed my arm off, beat me about the neck and shoulders, then sewed it on backwards, than goodness for the almighty tylenol 3.

Re: FZ-YZF Slipper-Clutch now available.
Mike, for what you're building, (you've admitted it'll never see the track), a slipper clutch isn't something you'd put to use properly. Plus, even if it were to see the track, in Edmonton, our current facility only requires one up and one downshift, so the benefits would be less than either a small...

Re: FZ-YZF Slipper-Clutch now available.
Nice price for a purpose made drop in unit, most I've seen are twice the price. Not sure what one would be like on the street, what the different uptake characteristics may be like.

Re: EMRA Round 1 May 27
:D hahaha, ow ow ow. No, this was one of those wicking base layers, but had just found the kind I wanted this spring in a long sleeve mock neck, so I bought 2 off gay bay, now already down to one, but will be more than I need, for the rest of the year for sure. No abrasions from any of my gear makes...

Re: EMRA Round 1 May 27
A couple scuffs and bruises, needs some glass work on his R1 tail section, but otherwise OK. He kinda scared the corner workers as he ended up underneath the alpina and opposed to me being flat out unconscious in the middle of nowhere, they were scared about his condition until they uncovered him an...

Re: EMRA Round 1 May 27
The wife took vacation a week early and is the frowning chauffeur. Neighbours brought the truck and trailer home for me after pit mates packed it all up. Bike doesn't look too bad, new frame saver and bolt, new footpeg (mount is all good), even levers and bars pivoted out of the way thanks to Teflon...

Re: EMRA Round 1 May 27
Well, just got home from the hospital, Fridays practice went fine with lap times coming down to better than last year, Saturday is completely blank, and I woke up in the hospital sunday, thinking it was still May. My helmet took a good/whack on the left rear 1/4, ground the face shield and then arou...

Re: EMRA Round 1 May 27
Tight technical track means big horsepower is no advantage, especially if it means extra weight. Too much fun.
