My Supermoto
« on: March 19, 2008, 05:07:07 PM »
So this is the second one I've built, the front brake adapter was made of ally by a friend of mine and looks and works a treat.

Today I took her out for a run on a dirt road along side a creek (testing).......
Two bad things happened:
1) I need a fresh set of undies 'cos I think I shat my pants!!! :-o
2) She's very much, all or nothing, put, put, put BANG----> Gone like the wind with the front wheel in the air (that incedentally is when I blew a hole in my pants :oops:)
3) She "runs on" pretty bad too, ie: I shut off the throttle but she continues to runn for a teeny bit (doesn't give one a warm and fuzzy when stop means stop!!! :evil:)

I do have a spare carb which I'll be trying tomorrow, any other ideas or comments on the bike?

Beautiful bike! Question: Are you still using the stock master cylinder and 2-piston caliper with a relocating adaptor? If so, do they still feel strong enough? I'm planning on using a 4-piston caliper off of a ZX636 with a Brembo 12mm master cylinder on my supermoto project and some are saying it'll be overkill.

Is that Jeff Wards bike from ABC's Wide World of Sports show Superbikers? Back then they did not have 17 inch hoop's and most ran flat track 19's.

Then again that may have been before Wardys time.
