Screw the rug, I prefer bare, polished floors X491 for some reason, i prefer a very slight landing patch... I figured for sure you guys would be after the full fur ammenities... :sheepviolate: baaaaahahahaaaa haha ha LMFAO :rotfl: this should actually be the coming up for air emoticon :notworthy: ....

Back on topic, I've always been worried about detonation so I never shaved a head for that reason. I've got one laying around that looks like it's got .040 off it or so, I'll have to check it out. Sean, many times detonation comes down to too much squish clearance, just as much as too little. It's ...

Ah, that's the frame that I think I explained the forces involved in the AFs that lead to such cracking, I think. A (young) fellow here grasped my explanation quickly and did some arrowing to the pics to illustrate things. Hill Climbers, with the extended SAs really hammer these frames. You could sa...

Maybe I do have a some convict genes in my background. Every Hoon does.... the requirements of a CR500 owner clearly defined: :headbang: :flip: :sheepviolate: :bong: :belch: :evil: :screwy: :ride: :spank: headbanging, backflipping, sheepviolating, bong banging, beer drinking, evil , crazy , riding ...

Bloody Hell, that's disheartening. I honestly don't think I could get drunk enough to produce such unprofessional welds - and I'm far from being as proficient now as I was in my 20s & 30s. Even the clearancing on the RH side is bodgey (though it may be down to marks from installation of the engi...

I'm descended from Danish / Swedish / Finnish/ Welsh and Irish stock So your a drunken car thief, who preferes Volvo's? Almost Got Me In One! But change the 2 'O's for a U and an A and you'd be closer. I've never stolen a car........... Hang on, does taking your dads cherished MG hillclimber and / ...

Brit, The old insult about being descendants of thieves just doesn't cut it nowadays. Bugger all of us come from that stock. It's now a status symbol (weird, huh?) to have transported convicts in your family tree. I think they actually shipped more convicts to the US than here before they stopped th...

It's a 13.5 litre, 6061 Aluminium tank - pictured in rough form , just before finishing details like linishing out some external welds (that have interior welds as well) and the mounting of the fuel pump. Gen 3 shrouds, completely flat top tank. The fuel load carried that low, makes it feel like a 2...

As I've written before, with regards to having an OZ distributor for SH bikes, 'beware of what you wish for" The distributor needs to make money ( and , with a lot of experience with dealing with US business, I doubt they get much of a margin / price discount from SH) to stay in business. And ,...

Not a good pic - but you should be able to see the fittings , they are at approx 10 o'clock and 1.30 on the side cover (just forward of the clutch cable). I've done essentially the same thing to 500s that I've had the plastic cover still on, and on Any bike I've had with a dry ignition. I've also a ...

scooters dead right. Get a brand new engine from s/h and we can give you a hand finding the right bike and people to help convert it. im no welder, but if i was to do it again i wouldnt buy a rolling frame from MPS but buy a near new bike, and manage the build, outsourcing when i needed to. You can...

For the last 20 years I've sealed off both the internal hole in the ignition side of the crankcase, and the vent hole for this at the crank halve joint. Then I put 2 fittings in the ignition cover for hoses., that go to well protected and filtered areas. Stops water ingress in the river / creek cros...

Do as you said you were going to do with oil ratios. Makes it easy. No re-jetting etc. I've always run much leaner than 32:1 on oil, and had no problems, but you should stick to what you've got it jetted to. Something to think about is the Intelajet - it's on another thread here. I'm going to put on...

2 strokes, I just looked closer at the piston etc, this time with my glasses on :roll: . To me, it looks like it has ingested a shit load of dirt, just by the markings on both piston sides. And the lower edges - either the piston had very bad finishing along the lower, outer edges, or the visual inc...

I've worked with KTMs, both privately and in dealerships. In dealerships I've run workshops and been the warranty manager. So I've dealt with numerable problems with them. KTM are even worse than Honda in not recognising a problem and rectifying it, and that's asking something with Honda's track rec...

I started, about 20 years ago, putting quite a pronounced radius on the rear inlet port at the vertical/ horizontal join point, and radiusing the edge of the piston skirt at that point, plus getting rid of any stress raisers on the inside of the inlet (indeed all of the piston) skirt. It effectively...

I've had my Unic damper since 1988 (I think), and used it on every bike I've had since then, both road and dirt, other than my trials bikes. I'd use it on them, but off course it doesn't have enough sweep for trials steering lock - I wish it did, then I could modify the steer stops on my CRE to get ...

I have not had time to do any carb testing this year other than survival jetting. :( I got a bunch of different setups to try. Just as I was about to PM you about that SRP(?) vane set up I've been interested in.......... Sounds like you've got the same problems as me with getting time / health to r...

Here we go again. No, most veterans do not prefer to avoid war at all costs. We prefer to get the fucking job done. Why in the hell are YOU responding to an American issue and you KNOW is very dear to our hearts? Why don't you mind your own business? This issue is OURS and you have no right to even...

You guys are way off topic. RSSS put a very nice effort into supplying infop and now your talking about M1000, and twin cr500's we got alittle off topic :lol: . rsss has a nice project that should run like a raped ape no doubt I find it hilarious that people don't think a 500 2t single could nudge ...

my internet here at home is so slow i cant get into this site...www.mxworksbike.com theres a spec page for a 2 cylinder 125cc 2stoke that was left for dead in the 80s Left for dead when the FIM banned twins from MX. Funny how they allowed them in MX1 when Aprilia (mind you - Honda and the other Jap...

i'm sure Bobs and yours will be the same, the reed spacer i did for bob was an old rotten reed boot i milled the center out of to fit over the reedcage, i've used them before on stock reeds to sneak them back a bit. I assume you may also do this to lessen the shrouding of the piston/ barrel inlet p...

You guys are way off topic. RSSS put a very nice effort into supplying infop and now your talking about M1000, and twin cr500's.... which will never make 200 HP Justa fuckin dream, and uneducated one at that. come on, jeez no wonder a guy spends hours and hours sifting through meaningless posts and...

Whatever we settle with, we won't delete the KS. But I myself will remove the lever. I'm confident that anything I make will work well, and with the mini batteries that are out now (and those to come), I'm not at all worried about lack of juice. I've plenty of stator power. And if your stupid enough...
