Gregg PalmerParticipant
Thanks.
Gregg PalmerParticipantI like the bumper setup as it is. I think the race directors need to enforce rough driving code more and in drivers meetings let everyone know that rough driving will not be allowed and you will be black flagged if caught. Let’s face it a little bumper use is not bad and it happens in tight racing but in no way do I think it’s the way to push people out of the way to make a pass.
Gregg PalmerParticipantFrom Boca Bearings web site. Looks like a good oil is fine for a onroad kart
SEAL REMOVAL, CLEANING & RELUBING
If your bearings start to feel gritty or noisy it is most likely a result of dirt or debris getting under the seal or shield. Your bearing’s life can be extended with a simple cleaning and relubing process. If you are not comfortable doing the maintenance yourself you can send your bearings to Boca Bearings and we will do it for you free of charge.
Removable metal shields have a c-clip that hold the shield in place. The c-clip can be removed by running a pin around the inside of the outer race, once the clip is removed the shield with pop right out. To remove seals from the bearings, you can just gently put a pin or awl under the inside lip of the inner race and pry the seal off of the bearing. Soak your bearings overnight in our Clean Touch bearing cleaner or any standard degreaser, then blow the bearings dry with compressed air or allow them to air dry over night. Depending on your desired goal you may want to relube with either our High Speed Oil or Grease Power. Typically you will want to use grease for off-road or dirty riding environments and a light oil for on-road or clean riding environments.Gregg PalmerParticipantI agree with Stu.
Gregg PalmerParticipant170 is a bit on the lean side. Move up to the 175 and watch temps, spark plug readings and then adjust. I was running a 168 with a K&N filter and seized my motor.
Gregg PalmerParticipantLots of guys run the Blackstar. Fritz Leesmann ran one at the 2013 Supernats. Great kart when the track has lots of grip.
Gregg PalmerParticipantYes it’s sold.
Gregg PalmerParticipantSold pending payment.
Gregg PalmerParticipant16″ x 10″ x 2″
Gregg PalmerParticipantAre they all sold?
Gregg PalmerParticipantThanks you guys for the input. I am excited to get back in a kart and have always wanted a CRG.
Cory, Why are you selling your Black Star?
Gregg PalmerParticipantThanks Oscar,
I am getting a great price and I haven’t been a kart for about 6 years. I can get a stiffer axle and run torsion bars and other things to stiffen it up if needed. In a high traction situation I have been told that the kart should be really good.

Gregg PalmerParticipantKART IS SICK!
Gregg PalmerParticipantThat is a sweet ride.
Gregg PalmerParticipantI will be there with my family to support. Most people have no idea how fast and exciting karts are. This should be a great event.
