2012 first race was created by turboguzzi
Took a while, but bike is starting to work well at last.....

Got a 4th place out of 10 guys, but most important for me, shaved quite a few seconds a lap from last year when it was the bike's first race.

Changes from last year:
small ally belly pan, Ti Arrow silencer (some 4 lbs less...) and the Brembo P08 brakes with modified modern Brembo SC compound pads, does really nice stoppies now.

Will post some action pics soon

Good results :)


How's your throttle response with the CRS and what size are they?

thanks guys,

Larry, these are 29's. a bit small for an 810, but then I am on stock Gpz750 valves and not much porting work.they do match the stock ports perfectly though.

hard to argue with 90 rwhp i've got and they do have such a good response down low. there might be a few more ponies with 31's, but out of my budget right now!

I thought had talked about an air box a while back?

airbox is definetely on my to do list, but other projects and a harsh winter prevented me from working much in my underground garage

I got an idea of how to it with stacked velocity stacks (ZX6R style, see pic), just need time....

Can your software calculate airbox resonance?

That's not in the software. There aren't many people who really would use those calculations. Throw yourself a custom Excel workbook together as you go along with things like that. You'll be glad you did later on. :)
