Austin MotoGP & An RD400 Update

Just returned from the Austin MotoGP race and yes, it was a blast. Marques dominated MotoGP, the track was beautiful and Austin is still a great party town! The racing was great and the MotoGP "grid girls" were bang'in hot!

Now the RD update..... After countless jetting sessions, with little to no improvement, I turned my attention to my beloved MZB ignition system. It appears that my issues are being caused by an ignition fault. Now I am in the process of ripping out the MBZ ignition and installing a Gen 2 Newtronics unit. This is no easy task since the wiring harness is a custom built unit just for the MZB. I'll debug the MZB ignition issue later. Right now I just want to get the bike running properly throughout the whole powerband.

I should start the ingition transplant this weekend... Stay tuned for updates.
