Re: Gauloises YZR500 3MA (Mistress)

RC45 outside of an TZR250 3MA frame a TZ250 frame is better. The one with the carburetor up front. Don't want to start a war. I like to know how many TZR250 3MA frames have you build with an RZ500 engine? Now lets see Suheiro has build quite a few and Nigel as well :smt005 :smt005 :smt005 :smt017 :...

Re: Gauloises YZR500 3MA (Mistress)

Not sure if you guys were aware, a couple of years ago I borrowed a supermono for a weekend on the Brands GP circuit, I destroyed the engine on the second outing. My friend was very good about it, and would not let me pay for the rebuild. Well, I got the opportunity to repay him, we decided to take ...

Re: Gauloises YZR500 3MA (Mistress)

giron ... to be honest the only flaw on my bike is the distance from the sprocket to swingarm, I think Alex's answer to incline the engine would be a better solution, but I also did not want to cut the chassis to much, not keen on some of the frame mods on a 3ma (kickstart area)

Re: Gauloises YZR500 3MA (Mistress)

Had an interesting weekend at Brands Hatch, prepped the 500 as best I could without spending the huge funds I had intended :/ With the weather being a little odd at present in the uk , we decided to put the TZR back together as a wet bike, later not allowed so entered a different class on that. So w...

Re: Gauloises YZR500 3MA (Mistress)

Hi Mick, very true but its a bit like a red rag to a bull Regardless how we do on track at least we tried I hoping to get to 110rwhp to be in with a chance against the nimble 250's Also hence the reason for choosing brands GP circuit, very fast and flowing im hoping the 500 will get into its stride ...

Re: Gauloises YZR500 3MA (Mistress)

Hi Alex exactly When I built my 500, I realised as it was being built compromises would have to be made which they were, so I went for the look over function as I originally built it for road use It worked very well on the road, in fact it was easier to ride than my 748 Ducati Since I first met you ...
