Hello.
I just got back from Orchard Beach parking lot (Bronx NY). It was my first day with Seprent 710. I got there like 7 am and decided to break-in the engine. Piston was sitting so tight and I couldnt start it with my starterbox. Good thing is that i had my Triton with me so i was able to recharge starterbox batteries. Finaly, when i was ready to give up the engine starts. After couple tanks with HSN adjusted to the rich side i decided to lean it and brought her to the limit. Oh man, this baby flies. I really enjoy it.
I still need to adjust geometry and a brake a bit. It looks like the left rear wheel has more grip when i hit the brake. Im also planing on installing fron shaft lock.
How can i determine my driving skills and how can i know when im ready to take it to the track and drive with others?
I know it takes time and practice, and i can imagine that newbie driver can be anoying at the track thats why i want to take a time at the parking lot and go there when im ready for it.
Thank You all for great support.
