[Yella]

Thank's fella's I like it should be a heap of fun and at the right price

[Yella]

a couple more

[Yella]

So first day out and all went wellish.
Best for the day a 10.4 so happy with the shake down run's, heaps more in it, bike pulled well all the way to redline but need to kill the 60ft
The good:
Big burn outs
Suspension is set perfect bike doesn't lift or jump around just sits low and goes
Bike rides straight
Bike pull's hard all the way to redline every gear better than the other stock busa at the track today managed to chase him down for the win

The Bad:
Bike needs new fuel lines, spilt return line dodged it up to keep going
The CLUTCH is SHIT even with the Brock's clutch mod it chatters and bites like fuck. No way I can get any good launchs

All in all not bad

Bad pic but you get the idea

[StuNVA]

Well done. Sub 7 1/8th is good, is the top speed what you were expecting ?

Best 1/8th I screwed out of mine all weekend was 7.2 / 1.9-60'. 175ks, traction was the issue, until this afternoon (plenty of rubber down), when I promptly got done in the first elimination..... -_-

[megawatt]

Well done Yella. Lots more to come.

[Yella]

Top Speed is close. The launch problem is massive gunna pull it down this week and see what I can see. Will be checking the clutch basket backing plate and spring pressure.
Question's are:
Is the brock's cushion kit the answer? Will it stop the chatter?
Should I get a clutch slave brace aswell?
Or
Should I be looking for something else??

Well done Yella. Good times for you first run with it. And the bike looks great.

Is this the motor you got off Pete? That he was basically throwing out? If so great and cheap fun

[Yella]

Yep it's Pete's old motor and the rest is the stat write off he purchased to get a new motor

You took the words right out of my mouth.Bike's looking good and running good by the look of it.

The Blackbirds have a similar problem with the clutch Ian, the dragsters on the BB forum say to pull the first (inner) steel plate out & take all the inner teeth off it & put it back in, I haven't done it to mine yet but they say it smooths the launch right out with no adverse affects like slippage.
Might be worth a try on the 'Bus, quick, cheap & easy.
BTW, That bike looks tough as nails.

[Yella]

Thanks fella's.
TK I had not heard of that but will give it a try

[Yella]

Sample pic's from the weekend

[Yella]

So pulled it down everything looks sweet except

Obviously not my pic but the same problem,
Next question is stock motor so do I run new stock basket or go for something different.
I have heard that the stock is good for 220ish HP and a fair bit of abuse so it should be good with stock for atleast a season soem are saying about 3 years but will depend on abuse level. Or do I spend the coin on a billet unit?

[xa-mont]

i say spend the coin. the bike is going to cop full abuse, so you may as well make it suit from the start.

[StuNVA]

Yeah, it'll only break at the worst time, you know how it is.
