    7/64th - 2.75mm carb slide bleed hole drill mod

    7/64th - 2.75mm carb slide bleed hole drill mod

    Could we see a Red Bull MotoGp bike with a KTM engine as in the F1 Red Bull team. ( Maybe not yet a Honda engine)

    How about returning to steel brakes as well? A Brembo engineer was talking about the carbon ceramic brake discs and how they operate at 900 to 1200 deg C compared to steel discs that operate at half that temperature, this leads to heating of the front wheel, increasing tyre pressure and...

    Given that rider input is overshaddowed by technological innovation, maybe Moto2 presents a solution? Same engine, anything from Ducati to Briggs&Stratton, with one or two chassis, this could level the playing field and allow the cream to rise to the top?

    MotoGP 2024

    This is the point that I am trying to make: The lad is obviously doing his utter best to try and drag that uncompetitive orange turd across the line.
