F3 TZR

It'll be good to share part sources for the 2XT engine.
I've got my new piston (genuine yamaha) using Yahoo auction and were not really cheap.
NLA from Yamaha too.

Fitted up the ASI 40mm radiator today. Not bad for $160 delivered.

Where did you get it from ?
Krazy Katt http://www.krazy-katt.com/radiators.htm ?

It is a 350 YPVS radiator direct from the factory in China.

Their picture is incorrect with the lower mounts shown in the wrong position. They have now fixed that issue.
The top mount needs moving and I also decided to give the top hose a bit of extra clearance.
You use the remote filler from the 350 YPVS.
I still need to weld the top mount bracket.

A lot of progress this weekend. It will be on the track on Thursday.

Dash now includes EGT.



Gecko Racing DFR replica billet exhaust manifolds with some minor cutting and drilling.

[mboddy]

Took it to the track yesterday. Now all run in and tuned.
Very happy with how quick it is and how well it handles.
Suspension Smith went over the suspension after one of the track sessions and gave it the ok.
He suggested I raise the back a tad more but the rest is fine.
Ground clearance was no problem.
Now just three weeks until the Australian Titles.

Sadly i won't be there Mark as my roster in WA doesn't allow it 

It does mean I now have time to prepare it for next years BSFoS properly.

Can be 99% certain you will be riding for a national title as there will be a late entry to make the required numbers for a title.

What are the pipes, Mark ?

[mboddy]

That's no good Jools. I was looking forward to having a TZR dice with you. Bring on the Barry!

I hope you are right about the Title. Jan was a bit concerned about numbers when I rang on Wednesday.

The pipes are 'you can have that junk in the corner if you take it all away with you now'.
They work pretty well though. The silencers are Tyga.
The original manifolds were cast alloy and they were broken and welded and rebroken.
Very pleased that I found the Gecko Racing manifolds and that all they needed was the mounting holes drilled.

[EEKNOWS]

I spoke with Jan yesterday.

I spoke with Jan yesterday.

[mboddy]
