The SkyTeam 'Ace' Resource

Re: the "Ace" - stoppers!

I think Crazy and I must be on the same page. I spent Saturday morning fitting EBC pads, +1 front sprocket, piggy back shocks.

The two 10mm bolts that hold on the front sprocket where not much tighter, than finger tight. Some loctite 263 will fix that. :eek: Very happy with the Ace I have called "The Wasp" Due to sound it makes at high revs.

 
Re: the "Ace" - stoppers!

Whereabouts are you Dan? - sounds like you must be in east coast Oz.

Your new shocks look to be a big improvement on the originals!

Have you made any changes to the exhaust? I found that you get a throatier note with a 18mm hole drilled through the rear baffle plate.
It's still quite quiet and a bit more horsepower is made available. It looks like you've dumped the EGR unit (and the kickstart). Have you done any re-jetting yet?

Re: the "Ace" - stoppers!

looking good mate.
Not as many mods as yours Crazy , stainless header with turbo muffler bar end mirrors, made a headlight "eye brow" shroud and painted some of the chrome bits satin black to combat the dreaded tin worm ,blanked off the EGR and replaced the tank strap with red 2 inch seat belt webbing,next step is to upgrade the front brakes and see if i can get race tech springs to fit the front forks as well as some michelin M45 tyres

I am as far south as you can go before freezing. Dumped the EGR, 26mm mikuni, kick start kept on hitting my inside of my leg. I did hit 100 kph on the speedo a couple of times today on the way back from a friends place.

A collective of ACE's is called.

 
Re: the "Ace" - stoppers!

sprocket2cog - that pipe looks like it will have liberated a bit more power! Let me know how you go with the fork springs as I will soon be looking for some my bike.

Unless you're from The Land of the Long White Cloud the furthest south that I know is Southport, TAZ.

Showing 100k sounds pretty good to me, what jets are you using? Aces look to be pretty popular in your neck of the woods; there must be quite a few of them here in SinCity but I've yet to see two together.
 
Re: the "Ace" - stoppers!

yeah just the exhaust system added about 10kph to the top end as i only weigh 60kg.

i know its not as good as a dyno, but ive checked the app and gps receiver agaunst several speedos and its right on as far as i can tell. but heres a quick speed trace i did on the ace.
top speed just shy of 108kph but i know ive hit about 120 according to the bike speedo i just didnt have the trace on that day. (110 is common but 120 is realy pushing with a tail wind)

I am just over hour North of Southport. Since the three of us have bought the ACE's . It seems to sparked a lot of other people interest.

I put the sintered pads in my bike and brakes are not any better. Squeezing the brake goes just about to the handlebar. I looking around a braided hose as you can feel the standard one expand when pulling on the brakes. Also found a 4 pot brembo caliper that might fit on.
 
Re: the "Ace" - stoppers!

Nice part of the world, down on the Huon!
But I prefer to wait for summer.

The addition of a s/s braided hose helps a fair bit, but I think one finger stoppies are unlikely.

Re: the "Ace" - stoppers!

Hi Crazy, did you get the SS brake line made up or did you get an exsisting part, if so do you have a link etc, cheers

Tom Terrific! That's your avatar! Now I can sleep at night.
 
Re: the "Ace" - stoppers!

I'm glad you can get some rest!

You can't possibly be old enough to have watched Tom and mighty Manfred the wonder dog during their heyday.

Re: Re: the "Ace" - stoppers!

I watched a bit of Captain Kangaroo as a kid.
 
Re: the "Ace" - stoppers!

I was trying to think what else could be done to improve the visual image of the bike and must admit
that the rear mudguard would make one hell of a difference if it was to be shortened or even removed
all together. Like most on here it would be easy to mount a little round brake light back of the seat hump
and fitted some fairing mounted indicators tidy's up the tail a lot!!!

Anyway that's just my opinion

Re: the "Ace" - stoppers!

That is a tidy bike!

As for the 'Ace'; I like the 'Dream' look so I will stick to making it run a bit stronger and leave the cosmetics alone.
