I had total loss on my F1 when I got it. I could do a days worth of running [two 20 min. practice sessions and a 10-12 lap race] on a charged 12ah lead acid battery. I charged it between sessions if an outlet was around just to be sure. I got tired of the nagging worry of the battery crapping out and fitted a charging system though. The supposed benefit of total loss [slightly less weight and potential power increase] just wasn't worth the hassle. It's not like I was competing for national titles or anything and if I really needed to go faster I could have quit drinking beer and eating like a pig.
Ha..ha.....ha.... go fast program of rider weight loss is much cheaper than exotic metals, carbon fibre, or total loss ignitions.....nah, lets skip all those, we will make up for old robust rider with big horsepower and a good start
Long Memorial weekend coming up, I should gets some garage time in and hope to make the first attempt at getting the F1 motor fired up.
