If anyone's interested, I have an old second hand alloy fuel tank, for a type 159 Bultaco, coming up for sale. It's a bit battered but not too bad. I bought it in England and had a Sammy miller sticker on it. Located in Belgium.
Our local rule is 5 seconds and it is a five - not sure what the rule is in Belgium hard to say from the video as you can't see what scores they are getting.
Maybe his left foot touches the ground at 8:28 or 8:30? Don't know, it's hard to see, but he didn't seem to protest much when the observer showed him 1 finger.
haven't they added an extra piston ring to the latest RR - be interesting if those using oil were old or new versions
I'm also curious why they changed the piston. They say the new piston also has a flatter top.
I have a 2016 300RR and it has no measurable oil consumption between the oil change intervals.
I must say it doesn't get used as intensely as a SSDT bike and has only 36 hours of use.
I find the 300 RR much more powerful than my previous 2015 260 Repsol.
It really wants to go, on the full power map.
I love the black frame and engine, but scratches will be more visible of course.
When you put the bearings in the casings first, they sit at the outer most location in the casings.
If you then mount the crankshaft, the bearings wont be seated properly on the crankshaft (all the way against the counterweight), leaving no room for axial expansion when the engine heats up.
