I'm signed up for California Superbike School at Willow in October (14/15) and I'm looking at taking my Ducati and NSR. I live in south texas where its hot and humid at close to sea level and I'm wondering what kind of jetting changes I should consider for running the high desert where the elevation is higher and the air is dryer? After that I plan on spending a week in LA and want to do a couple rides. I'm currently running 128 mains but may need to go slightly higher for my local (currently with stock pipes and filter, and injection). I haven't really rode the bike yet so I don't know exactly how close my jetting is, but I think its pretty close. _________________ james

Well, Willow is about 2500', I think and it's usually warm that time of the year. Not very humid at all. I am racing this weekend and it'll be 110 in the shade
Anyway, I only know one guy that is racing an NSR at Willow. I can get his baseline settings, but I would plan on 2 sizes leaner and do the plug chops. Or just leave as is and go one step at a time. 128 mains sound fairly lean to me.
As for rides, I live in 91377 zip code. It's about 7 miles from the famous Rock Store and right on the Malibu canyons and Santa Monica Mountains. I would be happy to show you around and arrange a 2 stroke ride. I race the 20/21 of October, so as long as it's not then, we can have some fun.
Cheers,

Hey Joel, I thought you lived near San diego. I was in fact planning a trip to the Rock Store. My old Racing partner from Germany lives in Torrence now and we're planning a ride because he want to ride the Duc. I'll probably be on the NSR with Temp plate, assuming its still running after CSS. Otherwise I'll have to ride his harley, and that doesn't excite me. I have a wedding to go to on the 20th so no worries. Maybe I'll check out your race on the way ou of town. _________________ james

Angeles crest was the other ride I want to do, but all my rides will be during the week. I might hit Ortega as well. _________________ james

When you do an Angeles crest run where do you start and end? I'm not too excited about riding in LA traffic so I'm thinking about trucking it to rendezvous point.
For Angeles Crest I like to go from the Lower Tujunga side.
Do a search on 10521 Sunland Blvd., Sunland 91040 which is a Coco's restaurant. Plenty of places to park a truck and unload. There are a few different ways to go up and around and back so I don't want to bore everyone I'll send you a PM with a map link.
The Rock Store Joel could give you better directions I don't go there much.
Ha ha... Coco's are still around? I figured they would have died with Sambo's _________________ james

Angeles Crest is nice during the week. Palomar is phenomenal. When I go there, I usually put the bikes in the truck and drive down there, meet friends and unload. Anyway, as you can see, I have multiple bikes and we can have a go if your bikes isn't running.

WoW thanks Joel! I really do want to check out your NC35 since I really want a RC or NC30. What is this Palomar? _________________ james

It's mountain roads like Angeles Crest, and some beautiful flat lands with big sweepers. It is located near San Diego. Try google earth and check it out.
Cheers,

Joel I wanna go with you guys! Now that I have the NSR all legal and insured I should maybe actually take it out on the road. James, streets of willow will be big fun on your nsr
It took a while to find it but Palomar is sort of east of Temecula. _________________ james
