Unknown, I work part time at my lhs to support my addiction.
Horizon's dealer site says 3/19. It was 3/20 and when the dates were updated most stuff got pushed back to 4/9, engines went to 3/19.
I will know on the 19th if my engine shows up or not. Either way I will post
an update if the date changes.

hey, we got something first in Europe

Ran mine last weekend for the first time. Great motor and pipe (pipes soft though).

TQ and the A main win so i can only say i'm impressed. Tuning was easy and it runs nice, very smooth from the bottom to top

I'm still on the original which is looking great after breakin and a meeting. I've ordered a set of 5 Ninja No.6 Turbos which should be with me tomorrow.

I've also been running the new Byrons 30% Gen2 fuel (no re-shimming of the head needed) which is working out great too.

I'm no longer running the GRP Ninja motors so if anyone is looking for a sweet deal on Ninja (GRP) plugs, I have a 5-pack of the #5 plugs. Email me if interested at [email protected]

Best regards,

Im trying to idle a tank through mine and it if i take the glow warmer off it just flames out It came with a #6 plug, ive tried a #7 same thing and a #5 which seemed a little better but still wont keep idling unless i have the warmer on. Too rich maybe? Im running 25% and havnt installed any of the 2 extra head shims it came with.

Sounds like its too rich. Thats why when you ran the the #5 it seemed better. The hotter plug will stay light with a richer mixture.

The GRP Ninja's came from the factory pig rich. Lean the LSN 1/2 turn in.
