FZR's little cousin - the TZR

Post by China_Racer_1 »

This is me on my buddies 1991 Yamaha TZR 250 2 stroke. 3Xv model

IT was a crappy running bike as it was running rich and the main jets needed changing plugs fouling etc.. but still a fun ride.

Sorry pics are a bit low res


Image
I have been working hard this season my body position and think this pic shows the result well. I got a comfortable position now that allows me to control the bike well and also feel the input from the bike


Image
I let this guy pass and set up for this picture. I knew Dragan was in the corner with Camera in hand. Dragan did the photo shoot of me and the dragon girls (Candy) a few years back and has done a lot sport photography in the past.


Image
The nut passing on the outside is my buddy Fred. He is a student of mine who has a built like a mutha f*ck CBR 1000 RR good when your students learn and start o kick ass :-) Look at the body position of the two riders. Pretty much tells it all squid VS talent. Fred got a long history of racing dirt bike in Canada behind him.

Just me playing around for the camera

Fred wanted to follow me for a few laps to check out my line in this corner. He said it scared the f*ck out of him in this first corner of the "S turn so I showed him a less stressful way around.

You probably noticed a bit of handling difference, going from a mid-sized diesel to a small-bore stroker! :banana:

I'm surprised your friend didn't have a selection of mains; the TZR isn't normally as fussy as the TZ, but (especially for racing) it wants its jetting 'just so'. I've changed my main jet four and five times throughout the day on some weekends, especially when there's a weather front coming through and the temperature, barometer and humidity are all going up and down like the toilet seat at a co-ed keg party... canofworms

(I have *got* to get my ass back to the track... banghead )
