I have been a bit under the pump for the last year. I have old Frocket on the road after busting a clutch basket and lifter shaft, put her together did 1700km and broke 4th gear...put her together with the full upgrade the night before I left for a 9000km run to Tassie...cutting it fine I know but the Wart loves saying "I told you so" when ever I say I'm gunna have Frocket ready two weeks before the trip
. I did send a reply warp...well at least thats what my comupter told me when I pushed the go button
.
looking at the discussion on Tyres, I fitted a 240/55/16 before I left for Tassie, loking to get some more km's out of it. I won't do that again. The 240/55 will give me around 3000km more but with the 10mm longer Hagdons on the back it lifts her to high for my likeing. I had...what I thought was a bit of tank slap on a trip to Denmark. Admitably i was doing 170 in a windey 80 zone and hit a bump on a bridge in a corner and she fishtailed me on to the white line on the other side of the road, never did that with the 240/50 on. also I have adjusted the speedo but the the odometer reads well out and it really stuffs up the fuel calculations on long trips when the next town is 150km away, the odo says you've done 230km but the lights on and...how far have I really gone, will I make it?
And a minor thing...the Dyno says she has droped from 198hp to 179hp. Might be the rush tune I did at 10pm the night before the Tassie trip
