Based on those pics, that track is MUCH faster than 106 Race Park, and I wouldn't mind a bit more HP there even on the 151... so I'm fairly confident saying the lil 7hp Thumpy 120 isn't too much bike for the VT track. : )

did you do anything to it yet, doc?

I have done absolutely nothing to it. (Other than crash it )

Well I oiled the chain and tightened some fastners and lubed the cables...

Should I do something to it?

Cool. The remaining schedule looks like...

Sunday Sept 7 (Which I can't do)
Sunday Sept 21
Sunday Oct 5

I might be able to talk him into letting us do a Saturday on the Sept 20th or October 4th.

Especially if I can confirm 5-10 of us. Spread the word!

hmmm its a longgggggggggg haul for me but i could run my Derbi GPR, that'd be a hoot, I could be wrong but i think the Derbi or a YSR may be to fast for that track?

[Doc]

I have a YSR and have not tried it. Come on up an we can see.

(I think they might actually be a lil big for the track)

you may want to tweak the suspension alittle. couple of your photo makes me think you could bottom out (or near).

other than that, just gas and go. it looks like a real fun track.

Dunno if I can this year or not, I think that's a 4 hour haul for me, plus my mini needs tires and some motor TLC, but we'll see what happens.

Tweak? Is it adjustable? I bottomed the front out so I need to change the fluid and level.

[Kurlon]

Rear should be preload and rebound adjustable, front has no adjustments, you get to play with preload spacers and oil type/height. Hit up the SEMRA forum for suggestions, Thumpys are popular with them.

[ku996r]

for the front, only thing to do is change it to heavier fork oil
for the rear, I've updated to a 3-way adjustable iShock, you can do whatever.

I had forgotten about the rear shock
