Hoblick Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) had the from out at CRP today to get a feel for it. felt pretty good, gonna have to work out some gearing for it to get it right, but it has potential to be a wicked mini gp bike. the junk rear sets that are on it now have to go, i have a set of Driven rear sets on the way to replace them. im gonna have to go to a smaller front tire, the bigger tire I'm running rubs the fender. handles very well, tires stick like glue, and the suspension felt awesome. power was actually pretty damn good for down there, but again gearing is gonna come into play. right now i had no ground clearance issues, but the hard i push it i can see maybe scraping something. but we will see. i was getting faster and faster throughout the day. no idea of lap times really, so ill be interested to see what kind of laps it puts down the first race. i didn't feel as fast on it as i was my NSR, but that is because i don't have enough seat time yet. its close though.

bark615 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Excellent!!! Glad to see you got that out there and were mostly pleased with the results!! Wish I could have been there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Does it need a front fender? Seems like removing it would be cheaper and easier than swapping out a tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood33 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 That's awesome. Can you just go there whenever or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUYZFR1 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 That's awesome. Can you just go there whenever or what?From what I hear they are open everyday for practice unless they have a race going on. You need a sumo for this summer and we can have some fun on the cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bark615 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Dude, I seriously might have to pick something up! That would be great! Come join the fun with us, like Chris mentioned it's pretty damn cheap compared to racing big bikes!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I 100% don't want to start the debate on whether or not riding minis improves your ability on a full-sized bike, but I will say that the low cost of racing the XR means I get to do it at least twice as often as I was able to ride my 600. I feel like that has vastly improved my riding fitness and general comfort on any track. I haven't been on a big bike since buying the little one, but it's definitely a nice way to stay in shape between rounds for those who are racing big bikes, and have a good time doing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.504 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I was seriously debating a grom. I'd like to see how my kx60 fairs against one. The only thing that holds me back is crashing one would be more expensive than my 60. Otherwise I love them and would like to get some seat time on one, if they weren't so damn hard to get ahold of.

redkow97 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 is the KX60 liquid cooled? that puts it in F2... You'll be up against bikes with similar power, but in a race chassis. Honestly I think the biggest weakness would be the lack of a disk brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I think the biggest weakness would be the lack of a disk brake. Correct! KX60 is liquid cooled and would be a F2 machine. (Any 2-stroke up to 72cc can race in F2) You can always do a front disc upgrade like this person did.... as long as you stay under 72cc you can do whatever you like for modifications.

redkow97 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 that looks entirely too fast for those wheels! 150R would be mildly less terrifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.504 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I actually prefer the tiny chassis, and the drum brakes are performing decent at G&J, havnt tried CRP yet.I have thought about upgrading to a 65, simply for rear suspension options. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnone Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Problem with small two stroke is narrow power range which means more shifting and more likely to get pulled out of corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
