no mate - we hadnt got one then, only the original heavy one that came with the bike - and had done loadsa miles

(and he wasnt allowed to nick mine!)

however, Al does now have 2 or 3 of heavy ones to muck about with..............

remember, racing on a budget here:P

How the hell did it pull 15/36 gearing???

I was sure Alan told Rich it was 46

Oh well, it matters not. Andy flew!!

[AK]

Al wanted a 46 mate, but we just made do, you see AK is sooo old he still uses wartime sayings.........

I thought he should have taken the huge one off his Lawson - blinking great thing it is - and a whopper of a chain, but he didnt think it would be quite right.... more suited for the quarter mile so I understand

So, what you reccommend for our snotter for CC then?

Standard monster gearing is 15/46, were you running standard Charlotte?

[AK]

no, that was the prob - it had been changed at some point in the bikes life as a motorway commuter conveyance, for this dinky one (why we knew not) Its gorn in the bin of bits now tho - not sure what is on it at the moment, or even if there is one on it at all!

[EDIT] apology here: it went to cadwell with the 36 on it, and then it WAS changed to a 45, that AK had picked up the night before - sorry Dom, et al.....



Is everyone elses bike in one piece?

620 Monster is 15/46
620 Sport is 15/44

583 Monster >94 is 15/38
583 Monster >95-98 is 15/43
583 Monster >99-01 is 15/46

583 SS >94 is 15/36
583 SS >95-98 is 15/41
583 SS >99-01 is 15/46

...and that concludes the gear lesson for today :P

Charlotte, I swapped my 15t front for a 14t this afternoon but that's as much as mine has been in bits. It's all good!

[domski]

I reckon a previous owner must have fitted a Supersport C&S kit.

No wonder Andy was flying... according to my gearing chart he was doing 147mph down the straight

See, I'm a detective as well

Blimey how badly do I need to get to CC

Oh, and our bike is still in bits too... well it has no front wheel or belly pan, but we're working on it (Louigi is, I'm doing bugger all)
