HKMP7's V4S Journal

Merry Christmas guys.
Italian Santa made a special delivery.

So what is it that 'Santarini' brought?

 

[HKMP7]

I have some get some good pictures.
We are on winter break here in AZ

Having grown-up in Tucson and spending 10 years in the Phoenix area you're currently suffering through what, mid-70s?

We're supposed to get snow flurries today here in the Denver area. I weep for you.

 

[HKMP7]

Right I’m a pansy ha ha

 

[PanigalePilot]

It's one we made in our workshop, I've been meaning to make a better one but never seem to find the time, it works well though, same as the pierbon just a bit more agricultural

So impressed. Great skills to have

What exhaust is this?

What exhaust is this?

Acrapovic WSBK

 

[MileHayabusa]

Acrapovic WSBK

How does one get their hands on one of those?

I would guess. Right place. Right time. Perhaps knowing the right people. A nice piece of unobtainium.

Acrapovic WSBK

Cool. I didn’t realize the primaries were so prominently stepped.

The corse exhaust requires the corse radiator and oil cooler, the corse fairings also, it's very different to the std road version, also needs the marelli system for the exhaust valve.

Yeah it's quite noticeable, looks weird at first

I feel at some point its so far removed from the road bike that the homologation rules are a paper tiger. I'd think that if you are using Corse fairings, that is the Corse gas tank which is wildly different from the road bike, plus the subframe etc. to support it.

My big gripe is that all of this Ducati Corse shit is shrouded in mystery and secrecy. Really just a paywall, I'm sure. In the meantime, Aprilia and BMW through AF1 Racing and Alpha Racing aren't such bastards about it.

Yeah special tank, cover and subframe and radiator and oil cooler.
I think WSBK should be only allowed to use parts that are available to the general public.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

And to be able to use the WSBK tank you need to run the corse swingarm and rear shock, otherwise the tank hit's a normal shock.

 

[MileHayabusa]

@Bruce Wayne What ECU will you be running and are you tuning individual cylinders? I do like the fact that the exhaust not only comes with 18mm O2 bungs but one per pipe...hate that 'standard' Akra stuff uses the stock 12mm O2 bungs.

Nice safety wire running through holes in the sprocket studs.

Motec at the moment, the marelli system is extremely complicated and difficult to work with. Yes tune individual cylinders then we just run two Lambda sensor when racing.
