Well Last weekend took the 250 out to race in the MRA, Had to use the stock bodywork, Tyga rearsets, Two Brothers Exhaust, used some plastic spacers to provide pre-load on the front forks,used vinyl on the front headlight, took all the rear assy. off, no modifications done to engine other then safety wire on necessary components...
First race against all the Ninja 250's, finished 8th, second race finished 7th, now all these Ninja's are race prepped put out about 30hp at altitude, which is considerable since we are at 5500 feet....
I could not hang with them on the straights, but made up considerable time in the corners, even scraping foot pegs, muffler, and boots!!
Next round we will have the bike down to a better racing weight, also take all emission pieces off, shave the head to raise the compression, elimante the stock dash and use a GPX Pro....
Used Pirellis for the first race, worked really well, second race used a new series of Dunlop race tires, better feel, softer tire, both sets 110 front 150 rear....
Few pictures, rash on exhaust, one of the 250, one of my main race bike 08 CBR1000rr
