Justin broke shift shaft lost 1 hour. N7 Ty N4 running 2nd 1 1/2 min behind Ricky Brabec/ Robby Bell N1 at ck pt & at 10:45. Has a good one going on. Later George
Justin and Ricky shaking hands prior to start. I think I need to upgrade Jason's telephoto lens, that's just bad lol
Let's put it this way, KTM has their fuel tanks washed and certified. Their fuels triple filtered before entering the can.
well? thats the answer, no? what about a more closed/sterile complete system, from supply, to dump tanks to fuel cell, all filtered and closed with sealed dry breaks etc. push a multi layered on board fuel filtering system and possibly a baffled fuel tank with baffled lower shite collecting sump (with the pick up, one tier up.) just thinking.
Is it the injector itself that fails? Hard to imagine that other brand bikes don't suffer from regular pump gas. I checked the gray filter on mine and it look clean. It's got 1250 miles through it now using pump gas.
We designed/use a two stage filter down to 10 microns. The injector has 15 micron holes and gets clogged with debris you cannot see without a microscope.
All my KTM friends have filter and injector issues at some point. One friend had to replace his injector and pump at 1300 miles. I have 5300 miles on my 511 and was worried. Called Tinken, he said dont worry about it we see zero issues with these. I dont get that as it is a very similar EFI system. I do know the early EFI KEMs had a lot of issues with tank slag clogging filters with black plastic goo. Confused. OK sorry, back to racing. Go ZipTy
We finished 2nd, 11 minutes behind Brabec and Bell. We were able to make back almost four minutes after our fuel issue, but that wasn't enough to catch back up.
We would like to thank everyone at Cafe Husky with an extra special Thank You for all of your continual support. Without you guys, seriously, we could have never made this happen.

You guys are the core of the sport! ( that goes for the other crews as well), the Bell/Brabec team won a clean trouble free race all are great sportsman. PS despite the fuel system issue the key point from your R&D is that the ZipTy Engineered 501 engine itself ripped hard throughout, all that mechanical R&D and follow on upgrades and bullet proof race modifications has paid off.
I think it was George Washington who, after the British surrendered, said it best when he said, "Bitchen".
