EX250/250R Racing Everything you need to know

I'd be really stoked if Kawi would kick in some sponsorship for an endurance round or two. Any word on another endurance race Huey??

 

Stick, I keep hearing about the difference between Bt-003 and Bt-003RS. My tire says Bt-003R and then the words racing street, like this pic: http://www.motorcycle-karttires.com/Battlax_BT-003.pdf

What's the difference among the three?

 

John, from that site it looks like they don't make a 140 in race rubber, only street.

 

The onw you have is the R/S. They only make the 110 and 140 in the R/S. We've been running th erace front and R/S rears on some of the bikes that are doing really well. A couple of championships and a whole lot of race wins.

 

I've seen those results w/the RS rears myself. I don't think you can go wrong w/ the race front and RS rear. The 30 hp never overloads the tire.
Of course I'm a slick dude now.

 

What Stick said. Race front, RS rear worked incredible, the two years we raced the 250. :up:

 

Yes, reading the site thoroughly might have cleared up to confusion...

Btw, mounted both wheels again; front is fine, rear is the same as yours. Got pics and will send them when I remember to download them. For some reason getting the rear axle through is almost impossible. No way to do it without tapping it with a rubber mallet, even with a film of grease on the axle. Once on it's spins freely, not binding anywhere. Don't understand.

Got it. Aside from not reading (re: above), I guess I never thought about the fact that most of the conversations I was reading about were guys on bigger rear tires. Makes sense now.

 

What are you guys doing for belly pans on the old gen bikes?
Going to start racing one this year and need some help.

 

Kurt Kesler to the white courtesy phone...

 

Yo. Bring me a case of beer, we will make a belly pan (best pic I can find).

 

FEM, this is the guy you want to talk to.

 

amateurs...

I do still have the mold around here, somewhere...

So you pull the insulation out of a coffee thermos, slather some polyester fiberglass on it and then call me names? It's ok, though. As the internationally known fabricator of the Miller Lite belly pan I can take it.

 

Kurts looks like it was more fun to make

 

<hiccup>

 

I gots one left over if you would like to buy it.

 

how much you want for it?

 

Anyone know where I can get some 135 octane fuel. I have switched over to 135 main jets.

 

I need the circumference of a BT003 rear tire mounted on the 3.5" wheel. Need to do some sprocket manipulation with the 17" wheel conversion and I figured the BT003 was the best tire to use.

 

I have some, will bring it to you. I will even pour it in the tank.

You can trust me.
