In order to decide the 2023 specifications of the Z900SE, we started from the previous day’s Satokana training. Based on what we have tested so far, in order to optimize the balance of the vehicle, we adjusted the balance with the spring rate, oil level, and ride height. With dumping, we were able to create […]
From March 6th to 8th, I went on a touring trip from Hamamatsu to Aichi with Mr. Igari. Even if I say touring, more than half of it was for work, but is it a very fun touring? have become. The day after the office teahouse cup, we will depart for Hamamatsu at 7:00. […]
Monday, Day 4 of the Catalonia Cup Monday, the day after the tournament. This day is an extra practice day. This is also a custom that I can’t say that we have in Japan. Today is also a weekday even in here Europe, but I feel like there are almost the same number of people […]

ーカタロニアカップ4日目月曜日ー 大会の次の日の月曜日。この日はおまけのような練習日。これもまた日本にはない習慣ですね。 ヨーロッパでも今日は平日なんですが、昨日までとほぼ同じ人数がいる気がします。 数百キロ、数千キロ移動し、ここまでたどり着いた選手もいるので、せっかくならもう一日やりたい!っということで開催されるようになったそう。 平日にもかかわらずここまで大半の人が残れるというのは、日本とヨーロッパの労働環境の違いが感じられる部分かもしれません。
ーカタロニアカップ3日目 日曜日ー さて、いよいよカタロニアカップ大会当日です。 9:00 会場集合 今日も朝から、運営側と選手が一緒になってコースを整備します。 日本の大会では、運営と選手は完全に分かれていますが、この大会では運営に携わっている人も、選手としても出場します。 そのため、公平さを保つために走行コースは大会当日まで全員知らされていないとのことでした! 絶妙なバランスです。 今朝はとても寒く-2℃という寒さで霜が降りておりてました。
ーカタロニアカップ2日目 土曜日ー 9:00 会場集合 カタロニアカップ、2日目。この日は練習日です。 集合時間は朝9時だったので、9時前には再びアルカラスレース場へ。 まずはコースのセットアップ。他の選手とともに、パイロン並べていったり、砂利や砂を取り除きコースを作りました。
こんにちは。いつもご覧いただきありがとうございます。 SSBファクトリーの海外営業を担当しているJanと申します! 今回は、ヨーロッパ大会に初参加することが出来たので、備忘録としてその様子を綴っていきます。 ヨーロッパ大会初参戦!
The reception for the 1th match of the 2023 season is now open. Corona has also opened and the reception method has returned to the previous form. It will be in the form of transferring and enclosing the certificate. Hope that there will be more international pilots/players joining us this year as well. […]
We are currently developing a system to measure vehicle weight for the future. . Well, it’s not a big deal, but I think it will be useful for something in the future. I measured the weight of my vehicle by saying. This is the weight of the Z900 in a ready-to-run state. […]
I’ve been studying the Z900 bike since the latter half of last year, and from that data, I’ve redesigned the spring rate, final, and everything else. I took it to a practice session. When you actually run the vehicle that you have calculated on your desk, is the direction right? It’s an answer match. […]
In the previous article, I wrote about making the Z900 final long. Why didn’t you do the math yourself? It’s strange When I calculated the total final ratio of the Z900, it was 6 points shorter than the GSXS1000 I used to ride. I found out that the ZRX1200 is also 5 shorted (^-^; […]
It’s been 10 years since I went to an event at the bike shop Outban in Okinawa. During that time, I participated in the Okinawa Moto Gymkhana Tournament several times. However, it was a spot race, and the vehicles were Z650 and Z400 borrowed from Outvan. I’m over 60 and I’m a little further […]
The setup of the Z900 has progressed little by little. So far, we are looking at the balance between preload and spring rate while looking at the height of 0G and the balance between 1G and 1G’. I am studying the body and link characteristics of the Z900 so that I can raise the gymkhana […]
The Z900SE that I prepared for this season has been set up with the OEM rear suspension all the time. OEM can only adjust preload and elongation damper, so the setup range was very narrow Checking the overall balance and the characteristics around the link while trying to deceive something I’ve been doing the setup […]
Since I had nothing to do with the Z900, I tested the spring rate of the rear suspension. Since the normal was 100N Ohlins suspension and the preload was not applied much, This time, I set it up by pre-setting it with 90N. As for comparison with 100N, 90N is good for ease of […]
for Ducati Streetfighter 848 This time, I made SSB for Street Fighter 848. I had built a Ducati SSB before, but unlike the air-cooled Ducati, the engine was tightly packed inside the frame. The U-shaped bolt does not fit in, the radiator hose gets in the way, and although it is the same as […]
for Yamaha MT15 This time, I made SSB for MT15. This vehicle has a suspended engine, and there is almost no bolt to attach the lower side of the SSB. At the beginning of production, I was at a loss. Even if I remove the shroud, I can’t find a place where it can be […]
