Alright guys

Is Fleabay the best (Cheapest) place to get a transponder for racing??

Cheers

Jay

be carefull about getting old ones, ive noticed quite alot of knackered ones about cos they havent been charged for ages...that may be the problem with ebay.
Motoforum is quite good if your quick cos they sell fast. Your lookin at 160 to 190 second hand usually. I think they are 'bout 220 new? so no great saving second hand

Hi guys, where is the best place on the web to get a new one? Cheers!

Get busy with google and you will find lots of places selling them...............home website is called mylaps I think.

Transponders are not cheap...................and with the rechargable ones the battery dies after a few years...................one of mine has died during this winter.

However it is possible to have it refurbished with a new battery and if you are carful it can be a DIY job as well
Once you open the red case the whole thing inside is encased in a resin....................grind it away carfully untill you find the battery and remove it..replace it with a new battery and way you go i'm sure I've read a how to do thread somewhere.

Found it but the pictures have been removed

Thanks for that cargo, didn't realise they didn't last that long tho? :-s Think I might just rent one at race meetings then cos that's alot of money for a short time! Do most people just hire them at race meetings then? Cheers!

They have put there prices up to well over 300 quid now. AMB are robbing bastardss. Not only this, but they have now got onto the high resale price second hand, and now charge to re-register them. They know we cant race without them....

You can get a hard wired one that will last forever, or until you lose it in the gravel!! If you are doing Melville meetings at East Fortune and are a novice then hire is free for your first season.

Free!?! That sounds good to me, what about KDMC?

Unfortunately you need to pay to hire at KDMC. Think it is only £10 per meeting though.

That's not too bad either tbh, how much is a wired one, guess they cost more than the rechargeable ones? Might just get a wired one if it's for life!

Does this look right?

are gonna be under 200 pounds, and will work with amb's database. Altho, im not sure how...

Thanks for that Jake! Yeh think I might just hire one for the first year then & see what happens. How come your selling your bike, you changing class or going to get another ZXR?

Does anyone know if you get laptimes at the practice days in March at Knockhill & East Fortune?

No lap times on practise/trackdays.Get yourself a lap timer or a friend with stop watch. There is a testing day 20th this month at knockhill btw.£70 on the day 10 till 12.30 but will prob be sessions.

Sounds like a plan, I was planning going to East Fortune on the 21st for the full day practice so might turn it into a full weekend! Can't wait for the season to start, Im getting bored riding it around my street!! Lol
