    oilies

    my brother races in the national superstock 1000 on a kawasaki zx-10 with around 200bhp. one of our sponsors provided enough oil to change it every race weekend, but it delaminated at the high power/heat/revs that the bike deals with, so we're back on castrol power-1. 75L of oil just sat there...

    Performance upgrades

    duno about 1.0Ls, but my 1.3 Si did 116mph on std rev limiter on 195/50/15 on the rolling road at TDi North The way i understand it is theres a small hole in the distributor wheel that governs the rev limit. the sensor within the distributor cannot "see" the metal between the last long hole...
