Le Vigeant cancelled

Just a quick note before I leave on holiday. Unfortunately Le Vigeant has been cancelled, apparently a miscommunication between the organiser and our club, means we have not been planned for the weekend!

Anyway that means the next race will be at Carole at the end of August - see you there!

Technical Update

Just a quick note to remind myself what I have done to the bike recently. After Pau (too rich) I removed the difficult screw in the carb on cylinder 3, and installed 4th ball valve, I installed a 240 main jet and checked the needle setting (2 slots = standard). I also adjusted the float height to 19mm with no gasket in place as recommended by LanceGamma.

I also took of all other carbs and redid the float heights. All carbs are now at 240 mains, needle height 2, and float height 19mms.

I also checked the plugs and they were all pretty rich, which means I can probably go down to 230's for Le Vigeant.

I have received a second hand radiator from a Kawasaki ZXR 750, which although in good condition is really dirty, so I will need to clean it up, and investigate if it will actually fit (physically) inside the fairing - this should end any cooling issues I may have, the temperature is still going to around 85-90 degrees C, which is robbing me of horsepower...

We now have 5 weeks until Le Vigeant, so time for a holiday from the bike! Speak soon..... Dave
