Hey... a track down at Morwell you say??? So... GPTC aint the only place here in Melbourne!!!

Can you pass along the details for us guys here in Melbourne on the east side can check it out ?

(I am not far from knox)

it is a "race car" track... small u may say but perfect for 4 stroke pocket bikes... we had a cpl of 2 strokes and they struggled on the hill climb at the start......

the track requires a membership in which u r provided keys to use the track whenver u like... im not personally a member so couldnt tell u more about details.....

we will be going again soon so i guess if anyone wit a 4stroke mid or a worked 2stroke that can make that first hill wants to go send a PM and ill let u know when were going next.....

Very intresting, yeah I coud see the hill being a little bit of an issue for stock cag's.... but who has those :P

I am probly going to buy a 110 on Thursday so I will keep an eye out for your posts 8)

Nice video, how fast was your bike going down the front straight? Were you at full throttle down the front straight or did you hang back a bit because of the water on the track
Keep the videos coming they are great

couldnt tell u exactly how fast we were going down that straight... didnt have my speedo set up correctly.....

that straight is pretty short and we were no way near full throttle.... and yes the water was a problem.. i locked up so many times and nearly had a cpl of big moments with the other riders on that corner.... you either have to change gear before or after and either way ur still guaranteed the back end would step out...

When you change down do you give it a rev just as u change gear cause that might help prevent the back from stepping out, ( thats only my opinion any else justfy it?).

basically off the throttle and change .... it could be also that im shifting down at too high revs which jolts the back and a bit............

hmm ill give ur suggestion a go next week....

From what i know about cars, is that when the clutch is engaged the clutch plate is spinning at a different speed from the gears so when you release the clutch it will catch and send a jolt through the system. and when you change at to high revs the rear wheel will lock up from a compression lock up.
I suggested it as from close watching of superbike races and motogp events they are always seem to be using the throttle on the down change.

yeah you do and I do it all the time on my 1300 just to make sure it don't step out, however with our real bikes we have a full clutch setup so we can actually pull in a clutch, I have no idea how the semi autos work for gear changes but I know they don't have a full clutch system.
