G'day Camel,
Mate I am happy enough no damage is done, bike starts & runs up to temp on idle no worries, no missing or pinging & no water in the oil.
Rusty water, well yeah I tasted it & the glycol was so weak it was barely noticble, I would suggest it is the original fill from new back in '08, just broken down & starting to become a problem.
All new & correct ratio fill now.
We have a test & tune next weekend so I will have another go then.
The missus reckons it's a sign I am not mean't to race this bike, she reckons it/I needs a wheelie bar.
I will give the ' Busa a run & see if it still interests me to dragrace or if have gotten too old & slow after a 3 year lay off.
OR if it just plain scares the crap outa me on the strip, the ZRX only ran a best 10.747's, so I know this is a big jump to a bike that should do easy 10.2's with me on it, maybe not @ a test & tune due to a lot less VHT on the track, but still considerably faster.
I found there was always about 0.2's improvement on raceday compared to a test & tune, purely due to the amount of VHT being layed on the track.
