[Dave31]

Just having a little fun on my Rockhopper. I forgot to adjust the helmet cam cause I sit more upright on the cranbrook. Hope you enjoy it..........

Sweet video. I enjoyed it!!!

 

[Dave31]

cool video, i have a rockhopper too.
no motor for mine though.

looks like you were really hauling ass with the camera pointed down that much. what is your speed on that bike?

LOL, I did not video the speedo for that very reason, It's for me to know and the guys at Death Race to find out lol. Mostly when it's pointing to the ground it is because I am tucked down. It is one fast bike, thats all I will say.

I was laughing cause I almost crashed, I wasn't expecting the front end to come up so high. I thought I was going to end up on my back.

Sweet. That motor sounds really nice!

Yesterday on our Rally I noticed a lot of blow by, it's also guzzling a ton of fuel. The Death Race should be called "The Death of your Motor Race"

After the first death race it would smoke until it warmed up but now it is smoking all the time running 40:1

Rings! Who needs them?

 

[Dave31]

I need ring, piston & cylinder!... but we will try to squeeze one more race out of my china girl and hopefully get her mounted back on my Della Cruz. After every race this little china girl says "No more!, No More!"

Been getting the Rockhopper ready for DR. I swapped out the heavy rear steel wheel for a lighter alloy Araya 26x1.5 He V-20 made in Japan. I also have two more gears to help with pedaling at higher speeds.

He's 13 years old and is at 66 lbs. He is a great dog, has a very clownish personality.

Here are some updated pics of the Hopper. I took the hopper to work today, did not do very well in the rain with no fenders this morning. I think I sucked some water in the carb from the air filter. But it ran fine on the way home.

I really need to get a smaller pipe for it, and it smokes like crazy and guzzles fuel. But she is still fast for a motor with over 9,000 miles.

 

[Humsuckler]

jee i wonder why it guzzels fuel... look at the size of that frikkin pipe what is that from a yz or something?

 

[Dave31]

It did not start guzzling fuel till after the Oct. Death race. I have lost a lot of compression and 6mph as well. The motor is tired and it won't be long before it gives up, hopefully I can get at least one more race out of it.

 

[Humsuckler]

well. i can wait to see the pictures of it giving up then lol twn thousand clics is amazing on these!

what is that pipe from... lol

It is off a YZ, not sure which one I have had so many. I cut it open and added some baffles, the volume inside was cut to almost half. Lots of low end and top speed with it. This bike actually is a few MPH faster then my BoXer with the gearing I have on the BoXer.
