Looking at your oil catch, can't you do the same as the guys over here are doing. We drop the exhaust and fit and shape a roasting tin(for cooking a chicken in the oven) between the bottom of the engine and the frame rails. It fits a treat. and solves some clearance issues.
Are you running flatslides. I have just managed to find a set of 32mm flatslides. Just trying to get them dialed in at the moment. My first outing proved to be an excellent race. Out of 39 on the grid My highest and lowest finishes were 15th and 19th. Not bad for the first time out. Beating early gsxr750's and fz750/1000. We run a really short circuit of 1.59 miles and the gearing was almost spot on. 15/42. Just ordered a 44 as I still wasnt hooking up into top until 3/4 way down the straight.
From my practice weekend 3 weeks earlier, I was putting in 1.21's, fastest over the 5 races was a 1.15.9. and the majority in the mid 1.16's
As i get to know the track, set the carbs up and gain in confidence i will hopefully drop another 2 secs. The big boys out the front on 87 slabside gsxr's are running 1.06's.
Hei tuber,
nice to hear from you. No roasting pans allowed, gotta be a real belly pan, otherwise, no race, techies are though! We are not allowed flatslides either, only round slides, got to be period lookin', ya' know. Ideally I would like a set of CR 31's but since i am currently running without much porting work, CR29 are a direct match with the GPZ stock ports. My motor did 88.7 rwhp on the dyno before the jetting work, so i believe i am up to 92-94 by now. will check again soon.
nice on ya on spanking some GSXR's and FZ's. A bit surprised about your gearing though, our tracks are pretty short too but i run there 15/37.... are you running 17" wheels on your 750? that could explain.
had a race this weekend too, and with a pretty radical suspension setup change, bike turns much quicker. Am much happier now, shame that ignition decided to pack up mid race....
cheers mate
