Larry,
That’s what they race in Europe. Pure racing over there is the direct drive and not pulling gears…
The senior motors blow up faster 😆
Realize that they spin these things to ungodly revs like an F1 engine and need rebuilds pretty much the same; get two if you’re going to do it…@Rick Schmidt wrote:

Rick, I wasn’t going to bring up the toolbox but I’ve been meaning to ask what’s that electronic black box strapped to your ankle? If you accessorized with gold or pearls it might become a fashion trend LaughingMike,
It’s the new Max Jet program including information on how to beat drivers with sticky tires while running the Mojo tire. So if this new sequined anklet brings you to your knees (doesn’t take much to bring you to the knees does it?) hope your feeling (yes singular) isn’t hurt. It’s your own fault for “blowing” an advantage to say the least. Just remember Mike. The next race, were running the same tire as you. Hate to send you home with your tail between you legs but…I’m cutting my driver loose. Cause we’ve got this little thing called a title that runs through us this year. Yes, the first year in 3 years that the previous title holder is available for unseating in Masters.
We are looking forward to the fun of it all Mikey. I’ll help you in any way I can. But, when the visor flips down. All you boys need to settle it. There may be Ron
Reed and Rick Samu hanging in our pit as well. And that is what we look forward to this year. I may even be persuaded by some scratching behind that pesky ankle strap Mike. We’ll see how bad you want it! Do you have peeled grapes and some palm leaves to fan me with?Yes, I threw up before eating my steak. Lessons learned.
I’m glad you’re defending your title! It’s like Alonso said, beating Schuey meant more to his titles!
How bad do I want it? Like a kid who drank a gallon of water before going on a road trip and the nearest off ramp is 100 miles away! :loony:
I’m really looking forward to our season. Only two weeks away…
I’m going to treat Roman like a kid with a pork chop tied around his neck. And I’m the dog! 8)And… I owe some people for my Jeep mysteriously developing a “noise” at IMI and a mind of it’s own at Centennial last year… 😆
Dave,
When I put my bearings in the cassettes I allow the bearings to slide within the cassettes so the axle can flex freely. Once you’re at the point of binding back it up. And yes, use the locktite and mark the bolts and the cassettes so you can see if they’ve moved/tightened at all…

And leave my manthong out of it… BTW…Michaela and Sandi bought me a new one in Vegas. I told them what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas but they said it was too hot hot hot to not share. I’m working on keeping it in Vegas…
It was Rick. He’s trying to get into my pants, err, avatar and post inappropriate images. Like guys stuck/trapped in a loo and that kind of stuff.
I’m glad you found out and took the right action. Rick, stop that nonsense now or you’re cut off CSC saturday night… Drinking my man, drinking…

I talked to Brad-he’ll sell me the flywheel seperately for $235-seems high to me?
By the way-make sure that all of you Rotax owners put the $7 triangular clutch support plate on the posts. Tom Denin made me aware of this yesterday when mine broke. This is a part that Rotax came out with 2.5 years ago to solve this issue. It could save you $350! The springs and clips and rubber sleeves are sold as a kit and cost a ridiculous $27.
thanks for the response…j
Welcome to Rotax parts “bend over and I’ll take care of you” prices. That’s right for that little piece of metal!
That triangle… I have mixed feelings about that. I went through 2-4 of them and then my flywheel broke. Just an FYI for you. Of course I’m at Masters weight and I know that has something to do with it.
Better yet: You should see the Motori7 flywheel and clutch pads. Now that’s what I call beefy engineering! Lessons learned from a Rotax and improved!
Wait’ll you see the waxing photo… 😆
The censors, Jerry Falwell and the ACLU are debating it as we speak…
Be very afraid my friends. Be very afraid…
See what happens when people are envious of you being: Charming, witty, funny, dynamic, fast, good looking and most of all modest 8)
I’m looking forward to running over your toes on my next reverse flyby…

Word of experience: Once you break off a post and reweld it… The flywheel might be fine then but the stress on the clutch shoes from the breakdown is just a DNF waiting to happen (Cheerleader from the infield because of this very thing). My advice, use the rewelded one if you can’t afford it but get a new assembly once you can, use the fixed one for emergency parts. You’re on borrowed time…

And stretch before you go out or you may end up playing with a nagging injury.
RickWhen you’re not as young as the kids I found NOT stretching forearms will increase tendinitis in the elbow from lifting karts. My elbow hurt for a year after lifting karts in the cold at Steamboat one year. A year later it was fine. STRETCH your ribs and your elbows!
