Practice Day

Yesterday I spent the day down the track,

The results were;

Bad pinking on large throttle openings ( eg 2nd gear out of a sharp corner )
rich up to 1/4 throttle opening , slightly lean mid throttle and lean top end . its in the ballpark so not worried about that.
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 !
Now to clean and disassemble and Check !
