Hi
I bought the bike very early in the year and the only things we did was fit a catch tank, fit fibreglass fairing, and lock wire bolts etc.
We took the drive out of the oil pump and ran Castrol A747 premix.
We didn't have much money and certainly couldn't afford any engine failures due to tuning.
We knew from Colin Appleyard motorcycles about the F3 kit in Japan which would have been awesome.
We went to Three Sisters circuit to get another signature on my licence but all we got was grief and complaints from fellow racers.
We agreed no points in championship, no trophy for a top 3 finish. We rode sensibly and took the signature but in principal I never rode another meeting organised by the club.
Performance wise, it was quicker than the top LC250's, and Gammas, was equal to the standard TZR's but lost out to tuned ones by approx 13bhp.
The brakes were superb and this was my strong point. I think we ran Metzeller ME1 rear and ME33 fronts, good enough to drag the belly pan and wear away the sponsors graphics.
We went to Mallory Park, Elvington, Carnaby, Cadwell Park on regular basis and more often than not finished top 4 or 5 against riders from different clubs.
The bike ran for 2 seasons with no problems and total reliability.
People used to come across the paddock and have a good look, it looked a fantastic piece of kit and I loved it.
Good luck with racing your MC16 and post your experience on the site.
