Mikunis on an R100RS?

[Frog]

As you may know, I recently the top end of my slash five rebuilt. It had 114,000 miles on it and was ready for some love.

In looking into the options, I explored some of the possible directions. When I added up the costs of what would be involved, I decided to back off a bit. I ended up going from 750cc to 800cc, since the cost was the same as my needed re-bore and new pistons. I went to a higher compression, as it was not an expensive upgrade (high compression pistons were not more expensive and the head machining was reasonable). I added a lower plug, in case I need to dual plug due to the higher compression. This was also reasonably done, since the heads were in for a rebuild. I opted not to do a 336 cam and switch to mikuni's...due to cost.

Since I know the bike well, I can say that the change is noticeable and welcome. I recently went on a ride two up and enjoyed being able to pass cars without worry.

Make the bike, and yourself, lighter in weight.

It'll make a bigger difference and it will be easier to accomplish.

JEEZUZ, R90s – I'm at a buck & seventy !
That weight has gotta come off the bike, man !

You reckon you got troubles Vanzen, I just flicked my scales from KG's to LB's.
I came up $1.60. !
No wonder those sports bikes can't catch me

Lemme see, $1.60 might equate to dual plugging, 336 cam, mikuni's and rocket fuel. All for free!

I need the rocket fuel!

You mean I have to give up my ample beer storage?

No, not at all Garnet. Just take up smoking!
It robs me of 10 kg.

10kg ? What will that be in dog years ?

That does get right to the point, doesn't it Vanzen. I should consider others.

What would that be in stones?

10 years at least if employed.
