- Actually, the speed can be changed depending on the terrain
conditions on the day of the race and therefore, be sure to run
through the racing circuit prior to a race and set the machine
suitable for the entire course.
- If the straight portion of a course on which the machine can be run
at maximum speed is long, the motorcycle should be set so that
the maximum machine speed can be developed towards the end
of the straight course, but care should be taken not to over-rev the
engine.
- It is very difficult to adjust the motorcycle to be best setting for all
portions of the circuit. Therefore, determine which circuit portions
will have the greatest effect on lap time and set the motorcycle for
these portions. In this manner the motorcycle will deliver best
performance for the entire circuit.
Special care according to the terrain conditions.
1. In dry, dusty conditions special care must be given to keep the
air cleaner element clean since it accumulates dirt and the engine
operates too "rich".
2. When riding on wet heavy clay the mud adheres to the tires and
other parts of the vehicle. The mud can add significantly to the
weight of the vehicle and therefore reduce performance. Take
care so that the engine is not overheated. The same applies
when driving in deep sand.
3. In muddy or sandy conditions loosen the drive chain slack to
release its tension.
4. Check chain and sprocket - pinion wear frequently when riding
in mud or sand since wear is increased under these conditions.
