Hybrid - first ride

Post by nick » Wed Jul 28, 2010 5:33 pm

"Unofficially" took the hybrid for her maiden voyage around the cul-de-sac today ;)

First impression is good, everything seems to be working, although i've only used the first three gears so fingers crossed the others are in there!

Still have to resolve the tacho dance (working through solutions on a separate thread - and before you ask i have tried all of the usual fixes :roll: ).

Below 3k rpm she's a bit rough, but as its a track only bike i'm not too bothered about that. Clears up nicely when you wind it up and throttle response is good above 3-4k. Might look into some dyno time at a later stage.

I've gone for 14/47 gearing as a starting point, time on the track will tell how good this is. I do have a 15 & 16 front and a 41 & 43 rear so i can experiment is needs be.

First outing on track will be Rockingham International on the 9th August which i'm almost ready for, just need to sort the tacho issue out.

I'd like to thank EVERYONE for all the help and advice over the last few months - its been an emotional rollercoaster ride but i've come out the other side with a grin :grin:

Cheesey i know but special thanks to fzrtim and his invaluable thread on the conversion. Also Boris deserves a mention for always having ideas even when the light at the end of the tunnel is fading. Bendy3 and cagiva996 also get a big :peace:

I'm using a set of modified cat headers on my 3tj/cat hybrid

I'd have thought 600 headers would be better because they'll hang a little lower. That will mean they don't heat up the sump and engine oil
