I dont understand why he made that move? Must be just money? Because no one has been able to ride the Ducati...so, yea, I don't have much faith in him to perform. But he isn't a bad rider..normally in the top 4 which is pretty good.

I actually want Pedrosa to win this year. I reckon he is due for a championship win now...very talented rider. Just breaks too easy when he falls :(

three reasons dovi made the move

One... Money. Ducati would have paid him more than a satellite team

Two... Its a factory team, ergo, the prestige and spoils that accompany that position

Three... An italian on an italian bike would have appealed to him because he assumes his fan base will increase

With Audi now owning ducati, it truly wont be long before they're winning again. But Dovi too much of a hack to compete with Lorenzo on a regular basis. Look what Stoner and even Dani did to him during his time at Honda.

But you wont hear me complaining about Dovi making this decision at all. Shit riders at the back of the back, with no airtime, improves my tv experience exponentially

Just need a few of those Moto2 nutcases int he field and ill be laughing

Suzuki working on 2014 MotoGP return

Suzuki wants to return to MotoGP from 2014, but has ruled out entering any races as a wildcard next year.

The outfit's MotoGP project leader Satoru Terada says the programme is yet to receive definitive confirmation from Suzuki management, but revealed plans were already underway to return with a full programme in two season's time.

"A return in 2014 is our objective: are working hard towards it," Terada told Motosprint.

"I must say that we haven't been given definitive confirmation yet, because the final decision is up to top management, as that's where the budget comes from.

"These decisions are made at the top level: the people working in the racing departments can't do anything. However, after a year of reflection, the top management, too, has now understood we can start over.

"Suzuki has a long history in grand prix racing, it has practically always raced, and nobody liked the decision to suspend the MotoGP project at the end of 2011."

Terada explained that the 2014 target was based upon building an entirely new bike and with the aim of being competitive from the outset - and ruled out any wildcard appearances next year for the same reasons.

"2014 is a much more realistic objective," he said. "We want to do things well, and this needs some time.

"We started from a new concept, also because we have redesigned the engine and this means a complete change to the entire project.

"I rule out [wildcard entries in 2013]. When we decide to race, we'll do that by lodging an entry in the championship - from the start. We are not interested in doing tests as wild card entries."

Asked whether he was happy with the level of performance of Suzuki's MotoGP prototype, he said: "Not yet, but it's not as if we expected extraordinary results at this time of the year.

"We have only just started, and we'll race in 2014, so there is still time.

"[The bike is] still a prototype, in the sense that its use is to gather data needed to build the definitive bike, the one we'll enter in the races.

"What's important is that the passion for racing has stayed with us. We are doing everything possible to meet [the 2014] timeframe."

I missed the first start; what happened?

With Pedrosa out, I'm struggling to even care for his misfortune; is there anyone in Moto GP with less personality?

Crutchlow however; I do like, wears his heart on his sleeve, and has a proper go.

I missed the first start; what happened?

Somebody stalled just as the lights were about to go out, so half the grid took off and almost caused a huge accident.

Then they all milled around for ages no sure of what to do next

Dani then has his tyre warmer stuck in his fender delaying them futher

His spanish, what else did you expect? They're painful people to be around

Dovizioso is the one that irks me the most, such a talentless nobody. How he ever got a Repsol ride is beyond me

His was contract based wasn't it? If he finished higher than 5th in the C'ship; he was guaranteed a Repsol ride.

Probably never thought he'd make it

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
