Picked up my Clubsport today!
Discussion
I picked up my clubsport today. It is Ross Kaiser's 2003 championship car converted to 2 seats by Van Kaiser. It's in very good nick with lots of bits, dry sump etc.
I'm now learning how it all works, it doesn;t seem too complicated, just all new to me!
It did go on my standard minno, but it's pretty hard to get strapped down. I will have to get a bigger trailer.
And ahem, I was struggling to get it into neutral, what's the trick? What an embarrasing question!

Hi Graham
Glad you found N
Although some say you don't need a gear indicator - I'd say it's a pretty good buy especially when your new to the car. At Bedford this Fri I found it v useful to get the right gear for each corner . I won't say I was looking at it much but a pretty good support to get in the right gear for your next lap
cheers

When I had my Clubsport I spent a morning up at the Radical factory doing a service and complete setup/cornerweight. I basically spent the time with the engineer as he explained it all to me and didnt mind me looking over his shoulder as we went thru the lot. It made me feel alot more confident with working on the car myself.
Well worth the effort and money
Learn also to change gear ratios and ensure chainline etc..

You can fit a gear indicator to a ClubSport as i had one on my old car,i got it from my local motorbike shop(it was called a datatool i think)cost about £50,it was a bit tricky to fit and i never really got it set up right but if you can they are well worth it.

I have a Kawasaki SR4.
The gear indicator is very unreliable, the LCD goes off after a while. You will soon get used to what gear you are in.
Hayabusa engines on the other hand are OK, they have a gear indicator built in. We have a gear indicator on our Hayabusa powered Westfield, works everytime.

Tony, I live in a secluded private road in Epsom that is essentially oval around a green, so I have been out for a pootle that's all.
I am at Brands on 18th (I think) with Easytrack, so that'll be my first outing. I'm pretty excited, but a bit nervous about the logistics like getting the bodywork off and on and getting a hand to push it back on the trailer. I know there will be people about who will help, but I'm not sure how it will be one-handed!
