This has to be the stuuuupidest question ever posed by the Kurtster! Needs some kinda beer logo on the lower as well. Plus we need a Waffle House logo and sponsorship.
Allright folks lotta info on the website now: http://www.ex250endurance.com/ I'm shooting to have an official press release Monday and would LOVE to name a title sponsor at that time: The Bic Pen EX-250 Endurance Race!!!! (or something). Please if anyone has any ideas. Come-on KAWI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Y'all know this is going to get press and a boatload of people interested in starting on the lil Ninja. Oh yeah please join up the Facebook page if you're on there. I'd like to use it as the "conversation" page. And lastly: There's a lot set-in stone but I've been famous for always being willing to ask a question. So trust me I'm open to ideas! Don't hesitate to throw some out.
RULES POSTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.ex250endurance.com Standard stuff... No surprises like Le Mans starts are anything. Biggest "waaaaa?" will be that grids and pits will be by drawing. Only fair way I could think of. PLEASE look it over for holes, rules I've missed, questions... anything! And please keep pushing those sponsors. I swear I'm not trying to retire off this event. I just want it to be cool as hell for us, the sponsors but especially to get that playground built!
Yall check out the "there I was" story at the bottom of the about page for a day-in-the-life story of how this weekend will work.
Hey Huey, Since the old gen and new gen are both ninja 250s, which means any part from either gen is actually a stock ninja 250 part, are we allowed to swap parts between gens?
Per the rules only the wheels. I'll have to triple verify that but IF there's anything it'd only be the wheels. Other than that nope. Same year to same year. someone correct me if I'm wrong.
The reason I ask is because the front rotors are different sizes between the gens, and the bolt patterns between the rotors is completely different. If you swap the front wheel, you would need to swap the caliper also, which really adds no benefit, it's just necessary to swap the wheels.
A race dot (or whatever the best tire is for this particular bike) front will be good the entire event, and likely the rear as well. I'm sure some will change out the rear once. Our team will be doing on 1 set.
It's the front tire that goes out the quickest for me, I'm still on the same rear tire I started this season with, 3 track weekends, 2 race weekends. And we'll probably run the same rear tire through the enduro. It's the front tire that matters on these.
