whats your zxr wieght??

[WelshD1K]

not allowed for post classic rules, not allowed to change any major components from factory originals, hvae niped a few of the supports out from the front of the swing arm

buy a h2 and transfer all your gear onto it. and yeah 50kg+ off seems alot.


considering the swinger / seat / standard yokes etc and what doesnt look like ally fairing 'h'

[jake]

I think he probs cant, i presume post classic is the same rules as forgotten era. bikes upto and including 1989. which rules out the h2

you got it jake, as far as welsh's coment, it isnt hard at all, race farings are at least 2 kg's lighter, loos the lights theres another 5ish kg, the total weight lost by drilling bolts was 1800grams, ( that was weighing bolts of course not bike ) then loosing the starter flywheel end of crank etc is 6 kg's then making a full custom loom with nothing except a switch on it and lightweight temp guage is at least 1.5+++ kg worth of crap gone, alloy sproket, new model rear rim ( few gundred grams less with tyres ), scraped the std guage holder for a ally one i made and put cdi up by guages to drop loom weight, battery is 1/3rd the size of the std one, ligheted crank and ligheted polised pistons, race exhaust system weighs 2.4kg total, replaced shifter tie rod with alloy one i made, drilled every bracket everywhere as well as pegs and rear brake peddal ) the list goes on and on and on ( not as far as some do im sure of that )

oh ps the larger radiator only takes 200ml more liquid as the tanks are smaller and the oil cooler has also been scraped

[jake]

how do you find it without oil cooler mate?
does it over heat on hot days? Im torn, mine gets very hot if im kept in holding area for to long, but quite often have to tape my rad up

[xlr8_07]

for summer racing we put a little half cut cooler on, but during winter ( unless its two day races-same applys as to summer to preserve the oil ) I just run the radiator, which i cannot remember but beleve the core was a barina/swift core and that stops all over heating in the dummy or race grid ( that was the problem that lead to mnaking a larger radiator ) during a race the temp sits at 65-68
