That SOUND .still goes down to my wrist .(That does not happen often anymore)Fresh pistons and he is running it in using the two exhaust system. I told Mike to change to the two into one system . That makes it sing and weighs a few kilo less + more room in the chair.So happy all ended up this way. Yes the tracks in Australia never let me go higher than second gear......Go stop go and full stop again in 50 meters.....The continent with the most vacant land and the smallest tracks .... Never mind its in the past for me now.Great to be able to still hear it. A petty about the green plastics, it takes some history away , But hey , its Mikes bike now . Even his dad told him the same .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt2_4D5ZKA0 Watch this video from Zaltbommel . I remember going to the startline with 39 other chairs waiting (i think it was 1988 ) at 9.30 PM and the sun still up at 11Pm . Started off smooth ground and by end of the race meter deep holes.You back off and you are going over the bars.Thats sand for you.

what is the idea of that rubber back thing at the entry to track...to control amount of riders at any given time ?

I put a drop on the end of my finger, enough to cover about 60mm at a time. Always applied 1104 like that.

Then on the tall side nip a small Vee out of it so its about 2mm wide. Thats how wide your sealant will be, the height will squish down giving you a full cover of the case surface. Wider surface needs a wider Vee. Squeeze too hard you get more sealant travel too fast and you get less. Do a few practice lines so you get the feel and squish it so you can see how wide the bead ends up.
