HISTORY

The team was formed in January of 2002, but the idea of racing was originally conceived when at about the age of 3, Soul regularly insisted that he wanted to race motorbikes, and that he wanted to be just like Chris Walker, his hero. A deal was made, that when he could ride a bike without stabilizers he could have a Motorbike. To our surprise, at 3 ½ he did just that.

He received his engine power when he was 4, and continued to show a growing passion for his motorcycle. Soul has also continued to make his own decisions with regards to his racing. Although he found the 'competition' hard going to start with, against older and more experienced riders, never once in the 2002 season did he 'give up', not even at the mud soup tracks where it was almost impossible for the Auto's. Soul has always given it his best and tried really hard, and as his Team Manager, Support Rider, Dad and best friend I couldn't asked more of him.

YOU GO SOUL!

THE BIKE

Aggressive styling in Suzuki Champion Yellow with a 64cc liquid-cooled reed-valve engine designed with the same power-enhancing features found in the larger RM models

Engine tuned to produce the type of mid-range torque and smooth throttle response which youngsters will appreciate

Electrofusion-plated cylinder - lighter and more durable than a steel-sleeved cylinder with superior heat transfer capability. Exhaust port bridge is convex-shaped to reduce scuffing for longer piston life.

Cylinder bolts directly to crankcase without cylinder studs for increased cylinder durability

Mikuni VM24SS carburetor with 4-petal reed valve and large airbox provide smooth throttle response and tractability

Durable exhaust system with repackable silencer and wide o-ring seals for easy installation and reliable exhaust sealing

Large capacity radiator with louvered shrouds ensures consistent engine operating temperature

Six-speed transmission features needle bearing-mounted clutch release shaft and shift drum, plus hard anodized shift forks for smooth shifting and increased durability

Convenient oil level window for checking transmission oil

Low-maintenance CDI ignition for reliable, easy starting

The chassis is designed to accommodate a range of rider heights and weights Adjustable seat height with optional-length link rods available in 1mm increments (each 1mm link rod change raises or lowers seat height by 2mm).

Lightweight steel alloy, reinforced frame features a detachable left seat rail for simplified air filter and suspension maintenance

Rigid, box-section steel swingarm

Link-type rear suspension features an aluminum cushion lever, nitrogen-charged shock absorber with adjustable rebound damping, and 9.4 in. of wheel travel

Rugged, serrated cast-steel footpegs for solid grip in wet conditions

Relatively flat handlebars work for riders with varying arm lengths and tapered roller bearings in the steering head reduce the effort needed to turn the bars

Showa 33mm leading-axle front forks provide 8.3 in. of wheel travel and adjustable rebound damping to tune the suspension to match track conditions and riding style

Lightweight aluminum rims with steel spokes and nipples for durability and Dunlop tyres: F: 60/100-14, R: 80/100-12
