I participated in the final match of the 2022 season JAGE Cup Round 4. The weather was fine and it was a good day for the tournament. The setting of the Z900SE, or rather the balance, has become almost the best in the current normal situation, so I haven’t done it for a long time. […]

Nov

The Z900SE started setting up for Gymkhana in the latter half of September. There are two problems: the lack of damping in the front suspension, and the poor shape of the tank, which means that if you increase the steering angle, your hand will get caught in the tank. . The front suspension is in […]

This weekend, I participated in the day before the Japan tournament and the tournament. It was a ZRX that was around 4th Dunlop, so I ran a little bit in the training the day before, but now I regret that I should have worn Q5 and ran. In the JAGE training, I ran with the […]

Since the corona was also opened, I went to the final break-in touring of Z900.

Why bother riding a heavy and big bike? I think many gymkhana riders today feel that way. Gymkhana is a small, light and powerful bike that seeks time. . . just ask for time. . That would be one form. . I think that’s great. But I’m different I want to be able to handle […]

I remember from long ago, Gymkhana has a section where you can freely choose your line. . That may be one of the things that makes it interesting, but to be honest, it’s not fun if it’s a course that can’t be passed by heavy vehicles and you have to cross that line to win […]

When I turn 60, I think it will be difficult for me to continue running like this. Isn’t it a bit of a shame not to tell you about the riding you’ve built up so far? What a thought. I think it’s just a matter of forcing your own riding, but how many people who […]

I was wondering whether to participate or not, but when I put Q5 on the front and back at the Dunlop Cup, the air pressure didn’t match at all, so I had to do a little test. I participated in the office teahouse cup with this thought in mind. This course is a refreshing course […]

I went to the Dunlop Cup Round 3 held in sunny weather. This time, I was running with ZRX1200R + new tires, front and rear of Q5. In fact, it was a ZRX1200 that I had never ridden in Q4, so I had no idea about the air pressure or the characteristics of the tires […]

This time I made SSB for Indian FTR1200. Is this car easy to start with? I was thinking, but it was a vehicle that made me think outrageously. The bolts I use are also made in America, and the pitch is quite different depending on where I use them. I spent a lot of time […]

I have decided to return with the heavyweight ZRX1200R. Since then, I’ve been fighting with Ninja 400 for 4 years, and […]
