should all be done just in time for Cadwell |
Well its been on the dyno and the ponies were still missing
While waiting for the Dyno day to come around we removed the forks and stripped them, then binned them and put my spare set in, I usually find they work better when they're straight and don't have gouges in the chrome where they pass through the bushing.
Dispite them being fitted with 0.85kg/mm spings they actually tested at 1.2kg/mm due to the amount of binding going on inside the leg as the spring and pre-load spacer tried to compress through a slight bend.
In a final attempt to track down the ponies before Cadwell, I changed the front cylinder head for the one I had fitted to Dallas's engine from last years crashed bike.
And after checking out the head he's been running so far this year I'm glad we did it.
Here is a pic of two exhaust valves, each from 620 DD race bikes with the engines built by the same people, both from the front horizontal cylinder and both have done similar race mileage.
