H1 Race setup - with a twist

Post by Chazzman_bm »

Hey all,

I've recently moved to the sunny island of Bermuda and brought my ZXR H1 with me. The 400 is illegal for road use here (maximum engine size allowed is 150cc) so it will be used exclusively on the track.

The race track is tiny; 0.7 mile long with a maximum straight speed of 100mph. The track configuration changes somewhat but generally contains twisty, tight turns and requires lots of heavy braking and acceleration.

I'm running my bike in the formula class which basically means anything goes with a capacity limit of 560cc. This will be my first go at racing and I would like a few opinions on where I should spend my money. Gearing is also a mystery to me but I'm sure the standard gearing will be too long for such a short track so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Chazz.
