So the list of things to do get's bigger. I have ordered some different thickness base gaskets (0.25mms and 0.75mms) in order to get my squish down to 0.8mms. I have been reading all I can about setting squish, and I really need to be working out my compression ratio aswell. This involves measuring the capacity of the head - with a piece of (greased) plastic sealing the bottom, you pour water into the top from a graduated syringe and hence you measure the capacity of the head. You also need to measure the height of the exhaust port, and then you use a complex formula to get the compression ratio and the corrected compression ratio.
Hmmmmm.... I need to brush up on this, although taking the measurements would seem relatively straight forward.
I have ordered a new rear tyre, which will get fitted at the circuit.
I need to alter the final gearing for Magny Cours which is one of the fastest circuits of the year, so I will go down to my smallest sprocket at the back on the RG, and on the RD I will put on the biggest gearbox sprocket!
I can also improve on my cooling system. I made up some plastic fairing pieces which deflect air into the radiator, and these can be modified to fit better, and to seal better to the rest of the fairing.
