Ohvale GP-2 2022 pushing for fast laps at Oakleigh Kart Track Melbourne Australia

Decided it was time to stop spending on my Grom to try and make it compete with an Ohvale. And just bought one instead lol. Thank you ‪@ohvaleau‬
2022 Ohvale GP2 with Muppo Suspension and Slipper clutch
In the video I’m running Pirelli Diablo Slick front and Pirelli Scooter treaded rear..
Added a click of compression damping after the first couple of sessions to try and reduce the rear squat though the fastest bend on the track and under hard cornering while getting on the gas. Seemed to help as I immediately went out in this session and posted my best time by a clear half a second! Thanks also to Johnathan @www.fastlap.comfastlapofficial
for the data to assist too...

Funny to see a reversed rear tire. I used to do this all the time just to screw with people's minds. The have a directional arrow as that's how the rubber is overlapped in the mold. But if your bike doesn't have much power, it doesn't matter!

[@dwninetynine]

Haha, I used to reverse them when I raced SuperSports too... Gotta get your moneys worth lol.. 🙂

[@robfromp-hanger]

sometimes it looks so fast like its on 2x but maybe due to Hyperview, did you try superview as well?

[@roaddogracing7080]

You’re flying! Love it. Looks like a blast. Is this a chest mount for your GoPro?

[@dwninetynine]

Hey thanks… Yea it’s the GoPro chest mount.. works really well, doesn’t get in the way at all.

[@ericchancley346]

What gears are you running

[@dwninetynine]

Std front and a 35 rear

[@gmakcon]

Are you using a helmet mount? Did they let you use one?

[@dwninetynine]

Hey, I actually use a chest mount... Theyre happy for me to use it in practice but I did get roasted for using it in a race... (the highside one actually lol) so yeh, practice only now..

[@mzvarik]

you didn't unplug the tire warmers

[@dwninetynine]

Haha, good spot, but I killed the generator before I took em off ☺️

[@dekzan]

Did you have problems with noise on 4 and 5 gears ? Many 2022 Grom owners are complaining.

[@dwninetynine]

Hi mate, I have two 2022 Groms and yes, the first one I bought, new from the dealer had the noise but it went away probably after about 200/300 kms… neither make it now.. both are sweet..

[@dekzan]

@@dwninetynine Thanks, bro. Some folks a dealing with this noise. I'm kinda scared of buying a 2023.
Is the 5th a true gear or more like an overdrive ?
I had a Dodge Dakota truck it's 5th was an OD.

[@dwninetynine]

@@dekzan yeh I get that mate, yeh honestly, 5th is more like the overdrive. Plus, if you ever wanted to mod it the older SFs have waaay more options.
