Soooo, there was this NSR sitting on a Bay Area forum for some time. The guy has some issues with it revving through the power band. I supplied some pointers, and mechanic in the area went to help the guy out.
I was keeping an eye on the bike just in case it got fixed. Well last night I went up to San Francisco to look at it, and they had just finished trouble shooting the issue, and got it running. Found some issues in the wiring, cleared that up, and ran just fine.
Looking the bike over, it seems the exhaust is something not stock, thinking HRC, as it doesn't look "hand made" like the JHA, TYGA, and others. The Radiator is looking HRC as well. Its an SE MC21, with the rear shock replaced with a Honda RS250. Front suspension is stock adjustable forks. Got a new Ohlins steering damper. Body work is Battle Factory race.
Came with a full JHA jet kit, pitbull swing arm stand, new top end rebuild kit (actually only one cylinder) .
So the bike will either become a third race bike (back up 250SB bike), or I will let my girlfriend race it (as long as she doesn't get faster then me).
Spent Saturday doing a top end rebuild in my MC28 race bike. This bike spent the entire season (eight races, with another eight track days) on one top end. When i took it apart, the engine looked like it could have gone another season on it. Figured since I had the parts, I might as well go ahead and do the work.
Should be a good 2005 season of racing!
