fuzzybob8 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Just wondering if there are any meet ups or rides coming up for the Sacramento area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koth442 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I moved from Sac not too long ago. I still lurk on a local forum. Sac County Riders is a really great group of guys. '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzybob8 Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 BTW, i saw, from a previous post that you were going to do a track day - how id it go? did you get the FJ out there? Also, do you know of anyone who blue prints the motors? Was thinking about calling SwedTech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koth442 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I ended up picking up a GSXR 600 for a dedicated trackbike. Not because I was afraid the FJ wouldn't perform well, but because the perfect deal showed up and I couldn't refuse. @Norcal616 has done a TD on his FJ though. What kind of build do you want? There are loads of engine builders on the west coast. '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal616 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 quite a few of us have done a TRACK DAY on the FJ-09... granted your not gonna be putting your chin where the mirrors used to go on a crotch rocket type of deal... it will keep up with plenty of bikes on the track, its a 900 triple that that loves to spin rpms... the FJ-09 is way more sport bike like than you think just by looking at the FJ-09... these stock CP3 motors are getting bolt on turbos kits cracking 200+hp to the wheel without going into the motor and swapping out parts... 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member texscottyd Posted December 31, 2017 Supporting Member Share Posted December 31, 2017 ...the FJ-09 is way more sport bike like than you think just by looking at the FJ-09... ^^ This. At anything up to a truly irresponsible pace, I actually think I’m quicker on the street riding my FJ than I am my Aprilia Mille R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzybob8 Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 On the build - to me, there seems to be some clean up that can be done... I have raced go-karts all my life and have built competitive race motors in the garage (obviously they are single cylinder). Although I am not complaining, a KT Yamaha (for karting application) needs to have the crank balanced, bearing pockets aligned and matched to the barrel just to get it to the track. I can feel in the FJ that it doesnt blend well under 5k rpm, but starts to smooth out after 5 (i don't have 1k on mine yet so we aren't going to rev it past 6k until i get the 1k on it). So i guess what i am looking for is some one to balance the motor and clean up the intake and exhaust ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
