He's been racing the bike for ten years, completely forgot the settings due to never having to touch it. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Just shows how good these bikes are Frankie, hey what ?

Sam. ::) ;)

Yes Sam, a mind is a terrible thing to waste- lol. I haven't been on the bike in a while and want to do some maintenance before i take it out again- i haven't adjusted the valves in a long time. I've been neglecting it badly. Funny, it used to be my "go to" bike whenever i would go bracket racing. Now it sits in the back of the shop under the cover collecting dust. 

One  other question on the cam; what is the spec on the  lobe center setting??? I may as well re-check myself with the manufacturers data versus my seat of the pants meter ;D.

Not going to make Valdosta this time. I'm hoping Sam will have his beast ready for the first SEMDRA race in 2011. I may have to drag my bike down there so he can have some compnay- lol
