Well i finally managed to get a rideout on the YSR Saturday evening, thought i had better as wanna take it to cadwell beginning of august, things are not good Sad
Its running really shit and won't rev past 4500rpm and it gets VERY HOT Crying or Very sad
I managed to limp 4miles to a mates house, where i daren't ride any further, so bunged it in his van to get it home Sad



I did discover though that a YSR comfortably fits in a Vauxhall Combo van Laughing
And also i think it is one of the quickest steering bikes i have ever ridden Laughing
I'm working long hours at moment so don't know when i will get a chance to have a look at sorting it out Sad might just bung it to the local bike shop get them to sort it for me as i got no time Confused

Sorry to hear that fletch..last time I had a similar problem the main jet was way too lean. Is it running an engine / carb that used to have an air box and now your running k&n or ramair foam type? If it was my bike I would try going up say 75-100 on jet size and see if it was running better etc

But was it fun!
Do you think maybe not enough air over the rad?nif so i will have to think about relocating mine or maybe ducting it?

I have seen people carriers being used to transport bikes at track days and club race meets so a Gag will not be a problem
My Gag in bits fitted in my Seat Ibiza, was a bit of a squeeze when it was a rolling chassis though Shocked Laughing
