[discobob]

Well after a very tight two weeks the CRF450 will be finished tonight for practice at Oran park tommorrow. I must say it is looking pretty good and cant wait. I will post some more pics in the next couple of days , did i forget to mention I now have an extra 10hp :D

Come on, lets seem some super secret dyno graphs then :D

[discobob]

Ask and you shall receive ! :shock: :lol:

Check the gallery

[Sibbo]

I am confused. That dyno chart is not real is it? It cant be. Your have to be pulling some peoples legs, are you?

upward of 74~75hp and 25k rpm! If i have been fooled, well done, but if it is real, my god. I dont know what to say.....maybe engine life, but very very cool.

Please more details, i dont care if it is all made up.

In answer to your question Ben, I'd say none looking at the figures...
And I thought 44HP outta my WRF race engine on PULP was good... :?

[discobob]

Some times i gotta amuse myself, the engine has never been run , when it is run in the next week i will post the real dyno figures, when i was asked it was to hard to resist :lol:

[Muzzard]

You know that you have no option now Ben than to post the correct figures later for us all to laugh at, It is after all a CRF!... :lol:
Why not just step into the S1 class and do a Berg/Husky/KTM if its ultimately power you seek

Mmmm make em meaty... :twisted:

Sounds great would like to see those figures mine is making 60 with a little wacky fuel whens your next race ?

Ok,
I have riden it and it is very , very fast . Handles good, stops good did i mention it is fast.
Still a few things left to do, the Yoshi system is still on a plane and a couple of other little goodies to finish up.
I am racing on Sunday at Oran Park so the aim is top 5.

[Wobbly]

Sounds good ben! :up:

Just let us know if you need a couple of VSMR stickers to go along with the beast - they're even a matching red colour! :lol: :D

[Flash]

Good luck on Sunday :up:

good luck on sunday you doing the one next month on 28 aug in newcastle if so we can catch up for a drink or 6 .
what tires you running on?,mark said the next one in aug is sponsered by maxxis. i have never used them before i normaly run on michy's i will be testing them this weekend got 2 compounds and both 160 and 165 rears to see what works ,but the new 120/76 front looks good mounted up might even help with the patter doubt it .
by the way if any has gotten rid of front patter on the crf please let me know how you did it ,i have tried everything .
good luck again and post some pics from sunday when have a chance

[discobob]

I dont think I can voice my opinion on Maxis tyres here !
We had to run them at the last Australian series and if you dont have any thing nice to say !

I dont think you will have an option on compounds from what I have heard, if you do test them dont use a soft they tear to bits in a few laps front and rear, after quite a few races on them the general rule was medium compound front and rear. Also they need very low tyre pressures, I mean very low start at 20psi and drop them as low as 17-18 and if you cant find grip it is not the bike.

I would run the 165 on a 5" as it will back it better while giving very little if any away in other areas.

thanks for the heads up ,i was going to start with about 26 front and rear better to get used to them now before next month ,that way i might stay right side up for a lap or 2 longer
