JK Tuning & Race Development

Why call the rest when you just found the BEST ?

We stepped in to help likable Brighton based superteen ACU academy rider Leon Hunt in 2003 and his results climbed immediately, as did his confidence. But for bad luck Leon could have become a real contender as he had been regularly finishing in the top six throughout the year, and latterly in the top 3. Sadly for us anyway Leon moves to bigger things in 2005 hoping to gain a place in the Yamaha R6 cup, budget permitting. We are sure Leon will grow in confidence and ability and will be well worth keeping an eye on in the future. We wish him all the luck for the future. It has been a pleasure working with him and his Dad Andy who worked so hard throughout the year.

Probably one of the best rides we actually saw this year - Leon at Cadwell MRO Superteen. Leon was so close to taking the win but was unfortunately baulked on the last lap by a backmarker, but that’s racing.

John in turn has provided a bike for yet another up and coming young London based superteen rider Martin Pascoe who has had a mixed fortunes this year due to crashes,but towards the end of the year things have picked up for him again using one of our engines.

Last year we brought you news of the Lowes brothers' meteoric rise. Well, we're excited to report that the boys have now progressed onto asphalt! After a brief introduction into the sport in the JRA championships, they were soon looking for a more sturdy steed. The ACU stepped in, realising their talent, and helped by granting them special dispensation to compete in the Aprilia superteen class a year early. At just 11 years old it was clear to me working with them that they are definitely on their way to the very top. The ACU once more gave them a helping hand by selecting them from many others to become members of their youth academy.

JK Tuning & Race Preparation are delighted to continue our association with the Lowes brothers. At times it's a real challenge to keep them supplied with freshly-built engines with the hectic schedule they keep.
On the finance side we are looking for people to invest in these two as future world stars. If you are interested then please don't hesitate in contacting us.

We will do our best to bring more news of the Lowes brothers throughout the season.

Gear like this is normally reserved for the chosen few, but we can supply this tasty Magura hydraulic clutch operating kit to suit the KTM LC4's and Dukes, and a universal kit too. This kit reduces the effort needed to pull the clutch by approximately 30% but it transforms the overall action to pure silk!
Available again SOON. Email us with your requirements.

Get the best from the set up you have by fitting one of our universal air box vent kits and allowing your motor to breathe. Made from alloy and stainless steel micromesh, the kit comes complete with necessary countersunk bolts and nylock nuts.

Take a look at these babies! Can't quite justify the price of titanium but want somthing a little better that the usual plated rubbish we are subjected to? Then look no further - shortly we will be offering a range of lightened stainless steel bolts in many of the useful sizes needed when dealing with modern Japanese and European bikes. We aim to offer many sizes in packs of 5 at a very reasonable cost. May not save a huge amount of weight but they most definitely look the biz!

This KTM front disk conversion using a Yamaha caliper and 320mm disc is just one of many kit parts planned for the KTM's.

XR650 using our 320mm front brake conversion, utilising standard caliper. Fine for road use.

Why not let us supply you with a new bike modified to suit your ability and level of competition. We can kit you out with whatever you need to win, including aftermarket forks and rear shocks from OHLINS AND WP, and engine kits that will simply blow the competition away.

Please check back SOON for more wheels and maybe a bargain or two!
