Fred Fiorentino bike

Vegard · Jul 18, 2007

So, I've just bought FF's 05 UK Championship bike. It seems as it did work well once though:

It's sporting a close ratio 6 speed box. Were six speeds ever delivered in different ratios?

It'll be interesting...

For about 5 years now I've been telling people that the way to go on a motard is the close ratio 6-speed gearbox :roll:

I also told everybody that by far the best way to improve the front end was to use a 5" rear rim...... it helps with a lot of other stuff too. Then a couple of years later even the factory decided it was a good idea OEM on the FSc........

But then who's going to listen to some silly ***** :wink:

have you thought about writing down some SM stuff, i don't think we have the traffic for a full blown area and even if we had it we would have had the 2 posts and gone brigade. quite frankly we're unlikely to have gained anyone, might have had more knowledge i suppose.

i believe the engine tuning i'm covering well enough but the chassis work .....

i have ridden two SMs on the road: LBrown and Scoots and they bith weaved badly. yet i never even see newbies asking to get that one sorted.

left you a message about machining your cases BTW...

not really i'm afriad, i bought it after the lydd championship round in 2005 it had only done 2 motard masters events (winter series) and the lydd round when i got it. I then did 3 race days and about 3 track days in 2005. It never left my garage in 2006 :cry: its prob done 20-25hrs. its a good quick bike and felt much quicker than the standard 450 i also had at the time. saying that i'm back on a 550 now which i find easier to ride.
cheers

Sounds great. I'm after a bit more power, and obviously fed up with the four speed box. On some courses it works, others not at all.

May I ask how heavy you are? Did you adjust the damper settings etc? I've been told that FF is a quite small and light bloke.
