OK Folks
Spent the Weekend at Shannonville Racing at the VRRA Quinte TT. It's a vintage race weekend. The B4 qualifies for Period 4 lightwieght class.
I had the new carbs just about right for Saturday's practices and qualifying race.
During the race the bike worked real well but was running lean and started to bog a bit because of overheating. Had to finish the race short shifting to keep it cool. Thirty + racers in the saturday qualifier and I put the B4 on the front row by finishing 3rd.
Saturday night my mechanic buddy put bigger jets in the bike to get more gas to stop the over heating and the experiment failed. We went up too big and while I was slowing down on the track to let fast racers get by my flooding bike I had a mishap and my weekend ended. I didn't get to race in the final but I got a ride in the ambulance back to the pits. The bike sustained cosmetic damage only and I'm just bruised up.
The CR carbs on the bike make this a whole new weapon. It pulls hard out of corners and when you get on the throttle the response is immediate. I will try to get the B4 to Pro6 for a tune up using the dyno and be ready in a couple of weeks for the next event.
If you want to see a few practice laps go to the link below. The video is low grade because I had the camera set up wrong and the batteries were old. So look at it as small as you can to get some good quality.
