959 Track Build + new member intro

JohnSmith · Jun 25, 2019

Yo soooo good to finally meet you up at Club Moto. That track is amazing and your bike looks INSANE in person. Truly a solid race build and I love that you chose the 959. Also I saw typo out there BLITZING, you got the elbow down first session right? Keep the litter boys on there toes man. Come down to NYST or Jers this summer lets link again. Peace

Thanks guys, and yes I'll see you on the 23rd. Ill probably be trying to hit NYST around August, definitely would want to do NJMP i have to figure all the different days out. I got Palmer in reverse (best direction) coming up in 2 weeks, hopefully a high pressure rad cap fixes that coolant issue that day.

if you dont mind me asking. how much did that swingarm cost?

I spoke to Silvia a while back and the swingarm kit was around €4k w/o tax and shipping. My plan is to make a trip out to Italy once covid is over. I’m thinking of just bringing one back in my luggage.

Tamborini will build one to your specs for half of that

I ain’t building no show bike

Would not have considered buying your fuel tank if I was rofl

Did you have a slipper in your 959 or will this be your first time running one?

Thanks for reviving this thread!
Gorgeous bike and build!!
Gives me some ideas
Those forks are nice, starting to lean toward fill forks compared to cartridges

If you can purchase a slightly used pair from the forums or eBay they’ll cost just as much as new cartridges most likely. Thats what I did and I shined them up and completely rebuilt the internals. These forks are super easy to work on once you have the 3 or 4 special tools!

I stumbled on this thread and just spent 2 hrs reading from the beginning. Awesome build! I’m in the same boat as Mago, looking for upgrading suspension next

Magoblanco · Feb 16, 2021

Sorry to spam you all at once, but heres some images from Club Moto, when Karl and I were ripping it up! The bike was working great! Only issue i ran into was that the rear speed ring which is original was out of true so I had to add some spacers to keep it from rubbing and then I kept having this issue with the coolant boiling over when I came in and stopped. If we got the blower on it right away it wouldnt overflow so i will have to deal with that. But thats that, thanks for tuning in guys!

Hey JC are there any advantages on the Zeeta top clamp? Looks like it comes with steering stem nut as well correct
And I’m guessing you can run it with stock clip ons?

Don14R · Feb 16, 2021

Check you out!

Gonna be do circles around Karl soon : )

I wouldn’t run stock clip on’s on a track bike. They are very light but that’s cuz they are made outta melted down Chinese beer cans

JohnSmith · Feb 16, 2021

Don you should try going around a corner sometime, its really amazing

Don14R · Feb 16, 2021

There is a Starbucks right around the corner

I go there all the time

The coffee is terrible but they have free WiFi

Dropped me bike in the parking lot and my clip on snapped right off. Jk

I hear you are really fast @KarlKani

Can hardly wait to see what you have in store for Jonathan Rea this year

You gonna show him how it’s done?
