Hi all,
I am new to the forum, but if any of you are from the guzzigb forum or the small block forum you will know who I am.
I have been racing a V50/3 over here in Spain this last racing year and have come to realise that I need more power to compete with the Jap bikes. I am currently running 30mm dellorto's (28's bored to 30mm) flowed heads, raised compresion and equalised squish(skimmed the bottom of the barrels to give a squish of 1.2mm per cylinder), lightened the flywheel and made up some long reverse cone megas (my avatar is said bike).
My winter developement is consisting of adding 1mm larger valves, 34mm dellortos with straight intake stubs, High lift cam from Phil Joy, larger diameter exhaust pipe, which will be single skinned and considerably lighter and general polishing and lightening to the crank and anything that is in there wizzing around (oil pump, crank and cam sprockets mainly). I will also be trying to remove as much weight from the bike as possible (it weighs 155 kg (341 lb) with a full tank of gas at the moment) and most importantly I will be attempting to lose 10-15 kg as I am a bit of a pie eater at the moment weighing in at 98 kg (215 lb).
I have been thinking of trying to run the tyres without innertubes, but am just not sure. Does anyone have experience of doing this on a race bike?
Regards
Andy
