Hi, When the class was first announced I looked at the rules as I'm sure a few others have. Why no KTM entered ?. Its probably a bad bet in the class. I agree with Green-Bread single VS twin, but here's a few other factors. First issue will be what the rules allow on the air intake, with the...

Thanks for the info greatly appreciated. As Ryan said the first XR650Rs also did this. The revised part from Honda was also drilled for oil flow. Years ago my XR failed on the start line of a dirt track race, locked in gear and jumped the gate. Honda's solution was to replace the part free...

Hi Cleanride, Will watch the progress with interest, are you going to race in the production class, or modify the bike so its not production?

From Oz Hi Maz, previous comments about air fuel ratio are right. These bikes will run lean as without proper tuning which won't do the engine much good.. Production rules here should allow a power commander check the MA GCRs. I sympathise with you, here there is no interest or support from...

Hi all , Haven't posted for ages busy doing other stuff not much racing. Techno, many thanks for the post and comparison. The peak values look good, but treachery referred to the uneven torque curve. A very interesting point. Single V twin? No. The RC makes better numbers BUT, the R3 curve...

Hi, buildable. The AKRA map is available in Australia. I had mine remapped about 6 months ago and am running the AKRA map with K/N filter and PCV from Commonwealth. My suggestion is to try ringing a few KTM dealers as the map is available. Its a pain for the dealer to re-flash as they need...

Count me in to thanks

Hi , I take it if you are on the sunshine coast then you have the standard metzler sportec tyres we got down under. I ran mine in the road at 29/29 and they felt OK (im also 65kg). Last weekend I ran alpha 13s at the track with 33/33 hot in the dry and to me they also felt ok. (that's about...

I got the Andreani kit from fast frank a while back. We installed it ourselves ( not recommended unless you have the tools or the ability to make them, also not recommended unless you have rebuilt suspension in the past) The $200 install is well worth it. I didn't go this way as freight for...

CCSRacer68, I give it a double thumbs up from Australia, Great racing, great footage. The best thing is you and your mate rode hard and clean and on the slow down congratulated each other, keep the spirit alive! TEN out of TEN.

Hi Dan, Ive had my RC since January. I was told the same thing back then except they didnt even have a map for the duke so I didnt bother with the akra. I was recently told a KTM dealer around newcastle, mid NSW north coast (Sorry dont know which dealer but there cant be too many) has the akra...

Great news!! just ordered one and the thinner gaskets, and manual timing chain adjuster.

The difference is between MON (motor octane number) and RON (Research octane number) different counties use different indexes, The higher the octane the less prone to detonation in high compression engines (The Hi octane fuel doesn't make anymore horsepower, but it does allow you to run higher...

Great thread. Interesting info on tyre's and suspension. Just thought I'd post to give a double thumbs up to the original race report. Good on you, great post.

Too old to remember how old I am. (55). Raced from 1977 to 2002. Long break to re-establish after family split up. Started racing again in 2013 and still going. Bikes: Ducati 750SS (76), Honda CB750, CB 550, CR250, CR500 (1986 - 1998). XR600, XR650, CBR 600, Suzuki Katana 1100, PE 250...
