Some fun in the Moab Desert

Following straight on from the ZX10 project and 2 days at Miller Motorsport park I headed south with Brian from Boulder Motorsports and a van full of dirt bikes and body armour for a couple of days blasting the desert trails of the Moab in Utah.

I hadn't ridden dirt bikes for 25 years and the deep sand in some places took some getting used to, not to mention the heat, but it did not take long to re-learn old lessons of 'sit back and power ON'  we both had a great time . Truly amazing landscapes and un-real isolation, mind blowing experience.

Only shortened by a pretty minor incident on day 2 resulting in a cracked engine case on my Yam, no big deal, back to base for shower and beer. Another day....

The specification of this project was pretty clear 'give it everything', so we did:
  • Full Magneti Marelli electronics package
  • Ride by wire / GPS / Traction Control / Launch Control / Closed loop lambda fuel control / Auto blip clutch less shifting / Closed loop engine braking / Wheelie controls etc etc etc...
  • High Deff AIM video integrated with bike data and circuit mapping (see our shop for this new product)
  • High specification 200hp engine by MSS here in the UK
  • Heaps of ultra trick chassis components, check out the amazing swing arm in the pictures.
  • Custom mapping and electronic setup to blend it all together into a superb track package
  • Bike build in the USA by Boulder Motorsports 
And did it work straight away ? 'of course it did' with only relatively minor tweaks as requested by Shane Turpin to dial it in and make it ready for handover to its new proud 'track day' owner who has already knocked chunks of time from all previous best lap times. 

Check out some component photos below, or view the video for a scan over the bike without fairings.

KTM RC8 Track - Ride by wire Magneti Marelli equipped drag bike - Stage 6

1/7/2014

The Guernsey sprint event was a glories sunny day and a very relaxed affair with local competitors showing off their hardware and bravery between 2 walls and full speed turn just to spice things up. 

This was the first real test of the bike and I went along to make sure the rider was happy with the way it was setup. No problems and a pretty fast time of 10.7 on run 3, next stage is some development of the chassis that will allow the electronics to apply more power (sorry that the video was not Hi-deff, nor is it of the fastest run)
