I always ran cold air ducts to the rear cylinder.

Wasn't that to keep the 800 pot cool?









PS For the avoidance of doubt given other recent threads I AM ONLY JOKING. Chaz is a top bloke who put good riders on well put together bikes*, and also provided good food and company through the years. (Are you still coming to Cadwell so I can bring the cheese and wine?)

* PPS they were ok until their new owners kept binning them

Thing is guys at the start of the season it had a healthy output in the 64bhp area and then it lost nearly 20% of that and dispite Dallas spending out quite a bit to try and get it sorted its still not back to where it was.

As I said the bike is going through a bit of a re-hash at the moment and one of the things Dallas is hoping to do is to loose the Airbox.
Made a bit easier by Chaz having already repositioned the Battery under the seat.

Just a thought Kev its got adjustable pulleys, yes the marks line up but it doesn't tell you where the cam actually is. So You really need to go thro' that loop either work out at full lift or opening at 1mm lift. But needs veryfying.
He was still .....just faster than me at Pembrey.

Nope Phil, it was all setup at the start of the season by Baines Racing using the non adjustable cam pulleys just as they did with his 2010 engine, went straight from Baines to have the power commander setup and came out of there with 64 and a bit BHP

Oh F<>k thats that scenario quashed. The Karl foggy lookaike at Pembrey was saying he had 150 psi on his compression. I thought gosh thats good, a lot better than mine. Then I put my trusty snap on guage on his and it read the same as mine 125psi.

So if comp and valve timing are good, then its fuelling or ecu or ignition advance.

Glad I've only got carbs. Good luck Kev, I know Dallas is p....eed off with his outlay and nothing to show for it.
