Chris has just #$%* himself ....on the first shakdown run on the CR, he had the front wheel in the air ans #$%* coming out of his rear end...scared him to death .
It's got twice the grunt it had before
See you all Monday night.
Sam.
Sam,
If you had to guess at its power rating, what would you guess? 90HP?

Hey Art, think how much money I could make if I could forcast dyno figures
Sam the human dyno
I couldn't let you know to much yesterday as I didn't have my reading specs with me and was having to guess what keys I was pressing.
The Bike fired up OK but was only on 3 cylinders, we changed #3 plug and all was well.
We only had about 250 yards to run on and the idea was to get some miles on the new motor before going to the dyno.
Chris had other ideas and was more concerned about what he would have to contend with in respect of the extra power on take off.
On his first take off, he eased it off the mark with 5000 revs on the clock and carefull release of the clutch, it took off prety fast and it looked quite quick to me compaired to one off his full bore starts with the old motor.
On his second start, he upped it to 6000, but as the clutch went fully home the front end was about a foot in the air
.
Allthough it scared him, on his third run he upped it to 7000 and was slipping the clutch more,...even with the clutch being slipped the front was hovering about 2 inches above the ground the full length of first and stayed up for most of second
The short road we were running on had a round-a-bout at the far end and coming out of it on his last run he gave it half throtle with the clutch fully home,....before he could hit second the revcounter was showing 11000 rpm
...hope he didn't do it any damage, only having stock rods.
There should be some static pics and a bit of video footage of the first time it fired up a few weeks ago, I sent it to SteveD as I cant load it on the works computer (even if I could,..I wouldn't know how
)
Pitty we didn't have the video camera with us yesterday
.
Sam.
