Re: Austrian MGP

The MOTOGP crash was unbelievable - Not even a 1/10th of a second later and the outcome could have been totally different for both Yam riders.

I think Airbags are a massive game changer :thumbup:

Re: Ongoing Fueling issues

New filters fitted with the new caps. The old ones seemed pretty well sealed but my bodge with a kitchen sponge might’ve been preventing some airflow in/out! :silent:

Re: Ongoing Fueling issues

It was missing, but I had a gaffer tape replacement. When I took it to the dyno last year, I had trimmed the covers out of a standard filter housing...but I can't actually remember how that looked. I will be in the shed this weekend, I shall fit the new sponges and my ebay purchased K&N rubbery ...

Re: Ongoing Fueling issues

Hello all, I am at Cadwell again on 19th & 20th. Over the last few months I've been doing some digging into my ongoing fuelling problem..... I read on the FB group about the carb sponges & breather system for the diaphragms. Well I somehow managed to lose a cover at some point - I did make a...

Although I knew who he was and held him in the ‘legend’ category, I didn’t really know much about him until now.
He was more than just a racer :clap:
