I was just browisng the forum after going to nsr-world.com, becuase i am desperatley after an NSR for my learner legal licence, so once at the forum i wasj ust looking andto my surprise i saw you - a fellow tasmanian.
So hi my name is Mark and i was jsut wondering how did you find an NSR in tas? very lucky i guess, or unless you imported it? How much did you pay?
there has only been one that ive seen an NSR one pulling out of the kingston hardware a while ago (with brown packing tape to seal the exhaust can!!!)
Anyway, like most L/P plate bike riders i was annoyed at the fact that the largest displacement can be 260ml so, i settled for the fastest 250 learner legal (in Tas anyway
) the NSR 250 - i know heaps of mods where i can brdige certain electrics and rmove one of two components to unlock up to 60HP - with a deresticted airbox, exhaust and some tuning. Even better i can mill the head down (i a lathe, mill, etc) (or use a thinner headgasket) to achive more compression, this also means i should use octane bootser buy hey, more power .
BTW here is a good and cheap "mod" for anybike - add 0.781cc of pure acetone to each litre of petrol, this makes it vaporise better (breaks surface tension of petrol) and makes for torque and power due to an even/faster burn. However, im not sure of using it in a 2 banger due to the oil in the fuel...would the acetone dissovle and or distort its lubricating properties????
Anyway, what turned out to be a few questions ended up to be a who thread...ahwell i better head of now.
PS - Dont worry 60 hp 2 bangers for a learn bike will be fine - im experianced and are tall (186cm - 6'3") aND weigh 220 pounds so the bikes power should be tame - well enoguh for me - its a 2 storke - u buy them for their harsh power and guranteed adrenalin rush (well i do
)
