Chris.QCR Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 500km of Shakedown riding in the last 3 days has been great success. Nothing has rattled loose and everything is working as it should. Picking up my new seat on Wednesday then got the Smash Palace Bike show on Saturday then loading up on Sunday. Aiming to ride 50-60 km a day between now and Sunday. Massive shout out to @BLIZZO for the carb of my dreams ! Such smooth power delivery now. Bring on the Cape guys ! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mop Head Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Just took my weapon for a gentle speed run. 88Kph before I caught up to the car in front of me. Should be 90+ tucked and happy to sit on 80 all day on the flat. Tank fuel cap leaks a bit sadly. Will have to repaint this tank after Eastcape with a better clear. @GuyWithAviators and I still have a decent amount of fettling to go. Probably gotta work on the bikes a bit more too. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighLUX Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I gave up on building a pannier mount today and resorted to piece of plywood/ratchet stap combo for centralised weight sportbike handling 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 rode 100km today, used 5L of gas, many things rattled loose, but now should be more secure. And after riding 20km without a muffler, I can confirm its really loud and not advisable, people on the sidewalk were blocking their ears. Got up to 97kph on a big downhill, but can cruise along at 60-70kph all good on the flat. I think I get some weird issues in my transmission when it gets hot, so I have put a breather hole in the housing, and put the heavier rollers in so it doesnt have such great acceleration but doesnt load up the trans so much. I dont think I need spare gas at this point, so bag will just be lots of tools, undies, socks, wet weather gear and a couple other nick nacks, no problem for a few days on my back 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post slacker.cam Posted October 28, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2018 Sweet prep ride yesterday aside from a minor excursion into a ditch for me while riding on gravel. My A100 seems to get really good economy. 3L for 91km of riding. Choice. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Wow that's good economy @slacker.cam! The A100 must keep up with those other bikes with no effort. What's your top speed so far? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slacker.cam Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Yeah it crusies nicely in top gear up gentle hills and pulls past the CVT scooters up steeper hills no problems. Top speed was downhill yesterday at 90something. The top end is getting a bit long in the tooth so I haven't pushed for Vmax on the flat. Yesterday was only the second time ever for me riding a bike with a clutch/gearbox. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage Grumble Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 /Me and Ben can have economy battles, try get the rated 1.6L/100km 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 @sentra did way better than me, only 3.5L for 90km 1.6L/100 seams unreasonable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 4 minutes ago, peteretep said: 1.6L/100 seams unreasonable Sure does. That's like 177 mpg. I used to get 115 mpg (2.5ish l/100 km) out of a CG125 and thought that was pretty good. I'd love to be able to participate in events like this. Have to get my fun by reading the stories of others' exploits unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
