The TTR has an electric starter so it does not need a kick starter too.

99 practice laps, 91 race laps, 1st in class Mod C, 3rd Overall, best lap on lap 90, 1.12.389

Now for some gearing and more weight reduction.

As your crashed bike slides along the track, you don’t want the front tire to touch the ground and flip the bike. This is why we reduce the steering lock. This is one of many ways to do it. Reduced steering lock is part of every LE race build.

I did a little testing of the TTR125LE and decided to make the fork springs stronger and the rebound damping faster. Then I went after the linkage as you saw in an earlier post. Next I changed the timer mount and made a quick turn throttle using the stock parts. This Saturday is a Track Day and a 2 Hour at Apple Valley Raceway with M1GP.

Woodcraft stuff and a service manual. You can’t race a bike without a service manual.

This is the shift linkage on my TTR125LE. The front heim joint had too much play, the shift lever moved too much on it’s pivot and the arm angles were wrong because the adjuster rod was too long. So I shimmed the shift lever. Then I replaced the front heim with one that has a threaded rod that fits the stock rear heim and fixed two problems in one step. When you want to do all your laps on the same hundredth of a second, everything need to be just right.

Lindemann Engineering is building race bike to order. This is the kind of attention to detail you can expect.

The blown up engine is out.

I’ve order a bunch of stuff, some of it will take a while to get here. I removed the body work so I can see the whole job. Notice that I installed the LE radiator guard right away. Might as well keep the new radiator nice. Stay tuned…

Two used left GSXR 1000 lengthened forks with DLC & LE Valving. As Is, $200. The seals should be replaced. If you come up with a right foot, I’ll replace one of the left feet and rebuild both forks for $220.

One set of new ’02 R1 forks with LE Valving & .95 springs. Plus one set of new legs and a set of coated legs that I think are Yamaha. $400 + shipping. Great for a project bike. Sold 4/25/21
