eccsmk - 26/3/11 at 05:47 PM

ive been reading all the posts on here regarding suspension set up so thought id have a little play around with the indy

right rear toe


left rear toe


front toe both read the same


im waiting for a camber gauge which should be here tomorrow
so for now i popped the olde spirit level against the tyre, looks like alot of neg. camber to me

as phil says its a 2004 zx12.
the hellfire boys are 100% to blame for this choice
well worth fitting tho its one hell of an engine

forgot to add i had 2.5 degrees rear camber
and 4 degrees front
now down to 1.5 front and 1.5 rear

Did the car not handle well on the end of the tow rope on Friday then? ... Tee hee.

Nice to see you again at Cadwell. We did eventually get out of the circuit after Pete stopped gassing!

thanks andy
its repaired again only had the inner cable to change
only reason i started on the suspension was due to my lovely new r888's loosing their inside edge

i had another ride over to see the clio yesterday. oops think he found i tyre wall a lovely black scuff down the drivers side
on the upside he has got it handling really well

the reason for the tow
here is the clutch cable

Bet he was well chuffed with black marks on his brand new paint! Hopefully if he's got it going really well he'll keep it out of Pete's way in the races.

he wasnt too fussed TBH
im sure pete will be fine passing the little clio
any joy on the miss fire?

Well, he did think the missfire was fuel surge, but watching the videos, it's not that obvious. What ever it is it isn't hampering him too much, looking at the data he logged.
