No, it's an old riding shirt and I used to cut the sleeves to prevent armpump.

The small end weight:

the whole assembly must be balanced. meaning using the same piston you will be running. otherwise the tests and balancing will be worthless. No. Testing in the first movie was done with the complete piston weight to get a feel for how much it is vibrating, but the static balancing was not done with...

Another video of testing the static balance of the crank with a dummy piston. The dummy piston is a little bit smaller.

I made a crank holder to be able to hold the crank while spinning it to feel the unbalance first hand.

Just a short video of it:

Has anyone done that?
Cons?

I'm using Rockoil SWWAFF, Synthetic Water Washable Air Filter Fluid. Fell in love with the easy maintenance as I only use hot water to clean the filter.

Wheel diameter with tin = 124.8 mm
Wheel width = 68.0 mm
Total width ~ 196 mm

HPD dosent charge you , until your order ships. Not true, at least for me this time. Ordered some engine and suspension parts 2/13/09, my card was charged immediately. My order was at the review state the whole time. I sent two unanswered emails before calling after a month, they said the order was...

The total width.

1990 crank

wheel = 124.8 mm

width = 196 mm (measured by freehand, don't have a caliper that big)

Home from work, so I could do some measurements.

The wiseco pin width is 60.0 mm and it weights 61.2 gram.

I'm doing it for less vibrations as I'm in the middle of balancing my crank and I think it was mick who had a piston that weighted 267 grams, which I believe was an older ProLite.

Hi, I have a piston from Eric Gorr that I think is a Wiseco "Pro-Lite", part no. 636M08900. I measured the weight and got 436 grams without rings, pin or bearing and was a little disspointed. I think OEM is well below 400 gram, seen numbers in the 380 area. The Wiseco doen't have any windo...

There is a great span in weight you have there, do you have any idea what brand the lightest are?

A Swedish perspective

A couple of months ago when the diesel price was record high
and the dollar was low I paid approx 9 $/us gal. Now it is down
to 5.5 $/gal.

Unleaded is around 5.

According to mxlarge it was a steelie from 1998.

Billy won the British championship in MX1 this weekend and went out on a CR500 in the second heat. He dnf:ed because the engine came loose.

I couldnt get mine off if I tried, its fukin welded on. I never take my watch or ring off. On another note did you know there are three rings in every marrage? 1. The engagement ring 2. The wedding ring and then... 3. The suffering :wink: :lol: I guess it's the suffering that is welded on. :)
