Heat causing excessive rocker block clearance , as discussed oil viscosity through those bearings . need to stop heat transfer into rocker block. front Suspension , in the last part of its travel is too soft allowing fender to contact the frame . Plug tip timing band ( the little bit at the top of the electrode ) is grey and 1mm wide Gear changing is still difficult , its going PAST the gear needed , ie from second to third , I go past second into no mans land between 2nd and third . ( simple fix is RHS shift , but I want to use the left ) Clutch is STILL a might heavy for MX use ( The bench mark is the 2007 CR Range ) two finger use !! The balance is good , it lands well of a jump and the suspension is surprisingly ok...

2009 This year, the computer software is up and running , The bike has had all of the problems from last year ironed out so we should be set to go... This year our goals are to finishe all the rounds of the VMX class and to sort out the suspension. The Suspension is in theory , ok , but with one or two tweaks , it could be on par with the more exotic bikes. The race dates are the same as last year with March the 22nd being the first of the year .. here's hoping ,,,,, Happy new year everyone and lets hope for a few good results this year Stephen
