We'd want to burn the fuel (from whatever source) as efficiently as possible. Higher octane requires a higher CR to burn efficiently.

If nothing other than keeping costs low, we've already got a...

If you know anyone that can push a motorcycle at 70mph, let me know. :p


Thanks! I'll try to keep this thread updated with our progress or start a new one if we don't do CNG.

Somewhere around 95mpg CNG should make our team competitive. Upwards of 95-100 mpg CNG would have us winning. We'd need close to 140-150 mpg gasoline to be competitive. The goal is around 0.02$/mile...

It's not nearly as good as the ninjette. I was getting 65-70mpg on my ninjette but now I'm looking at 45-55mpg on the VFR.

VFR Electrical Issues

Yeah... The R/R already failed on it. And it was one of the newer designed ones with cooling fins and all. The PO had the wiring harness replaced as well. I have receipt of the work being done at a...

Yeah... At least it's not a ZX-10 like Jiggles. The VFR has a V4, a similar riding position to the ninjette, and is fairly forgiving in it's handling. But as mentioned earlier the top end power is...

Sold my ninjette, bought a VFR750

It's been 14 months since I started riding, and after wrecking my '04 ninjette over the summer I realized it wasn't worth pouring money into it to get it back to perfect shape. So the ninjette has...

100% sure. Checked it three times by taking the wheel off so far.

Is there a specific way to putting on the chain tensioners? Does the raised edge go to the inside or outside of the swingarm?

Rear axle is torqued to 81.1 ft/lbs. There's no gap I can see on the far left spacer. I'm going to remove the wheel and try again.

The inner pads are making it so the wheel won't spin. But this is only when I tighten the bolts which hold the caliper to the carrier.

Tight rear wheel

I just replaced the chain and sprockets. Now the rear wheel seems to be extremely tight. It's hard to walk the bike around or even spin the wheel by hand. Any ideas?
