Hey again.
I have completed a track day on my MC21. What a relief that was. After it seized a year ago I thought the worst. But between then and now I worked on it and researched and spent countless hours tinkering and rebuilding and thinking more. When it finally crackled into life after a crank and top end I was pretty ecstatic. Filling the garage with two stroke fumes was as only you guys would know such a big relief I felt high as a kite or was that the fumes, anyway.
That still didnt compare to actually sitting on it in full leathers with my sights set on the straight before turn two (Eastern Creek). It was a nervous first session to say the least and I was pretty gentle as this was also a heat cycle and new front pads. As the day progressed I got more confident in the bike itself and could relax a little more and concentrate on riding the thing hard. Only when I was going full throttle down the straight was I concentrating on the EGTS as thats where I seized last time. I did have quite different EGT readings one being about spot on 1250 or so and the other quite low at 800 farenheit. Thats another thread though. I think I will pull the front cylinder apart to see if everything looks good because I sanded out the scratches with some wet and dry so it will be interesting to see the results. Could be time for a new cylinder I will see what the inspection reveals. Till then though I will just soak up the good feeling you have after working on something and then it actually holding together for the legnth of a full track day.
Anywho thanks for this site and all the time and effort put in by you guys because without it I would have been pretty screwed also Matt@Tyga as he is a constant reliable source of information for me. I attached a photo from the day.
Thanks again.
