Who said its easier to start?.. Decomp means it's only easier to Kick! :lol: Maybe its cos the mixture is going out the decomp valve and not back into the crackcase via the rings? One thing i did notice is it's harder to find TDC wiith the valve in. BIt like an xr400. Better to find TDC first then ...

Thanks,The shots were taken at Rydal ,Not that far from Clarence. We ('85 is my mates) had just taken the bikes off the trailer and put them on the stand and the pyramid of power. ;) They looked so good with the back ground morning mist/fog + there had been a big storm the night before that blew do...

Great pictures, and a great idea to show the beginning and end of the line. Do you have more, from the RH side? I assume / hope, you are not going to butcher either one into an AF? Thanks for posting the pictures. These went straight into my CR500 folder. The pictures - were they taken at Clarence? ...

I think we've just got a misunderstanding / failure to clarify, between Bob and Clive. I watched my dad in the sixties, put heads on glass, and pipette fill them, to get the combustion chamber volume. Just as my brother and I did to his Keith Black drag engine over the weekend, to each and every com...

if they keep it simple as possible and trouble free it should do well. computers, electric pumps, injectors etc etc can spell disaster if you dont have your shit together. alot of people took the bait with the ktm 350 and alot of them are pissed off because all that new technology aint working real...

KTMs, of any type, cark it like any bikes do, especially if you don't take care of them. Or, are just plain unlucky. There's a nicely :P blown up 350 in the 4t section, right now - it looks Very Expensive to fix. It's rare not to find complete rolling chassis in KTMtalk 's classified section. Last w...

I rode the 09 WR250 Husky the other day at the local dealer. Just an AWESOME bike! Linear power, strong right off the hop. $4500 plus tax. SMOKIN' DEAL! The best part is it probably has an hours time on it, if that. There are ZERO boot marks on either ign or clutch case covers. So close to buying t...

This may have already been put up somewhere on the site. 2ts, one in particular, are getting a bit of attention at EICMA. Go searching, you'll find a lot of info. Here's pictures of the Ossa. Pretty much every damned thing I want from a 2 stroke. Twin Injectors on these, the trials bike has just the...

That's just so wrong.

I've spent the day puppy perusing, and, as it will be for my 73yr old mum, it's little breeds I'm chasing.

Poor little thing, I hope he got stuck on it's way down, Bob.

"Now you guys got me wondering if I'll be able to find a holeless piston. Hmm....." Iggy Quote. Me too, I'm just about to finally do a re-bore, and want to hoik the Exhaust Bridge, as the crack in the alloy bridge backing, is Just showing into the sleeve. Something to think of - I wonder i...

I think a sweep should be run on the timeline for Britincali's license, with him having this thing.

I recently got to drive an older model of one of these things - I can only echo Brit's first post comments...

TwoStroke: So it does incorporate a New CDI, or at least a CDI interface that brings in adjustability. Cool - as I said, I'm an electrical doofus, but I can / will learn if it turns out to be a good thing. Makes it Very affordable. Keeping in mind guys, I already have a stator that is supposedly rat...

Two Strokes : The following is not me trying to argue in any way, just me being very up front with my electrical / computer tech ignorance. I had to get a mate around to fit in a 2 terabyte hard drive the other day, to add to the sad 160 meg computer I have, it took him about 10 minutes, even with p...

A better CDI set up is the sort of thing that can take 1/2 the cost of this from the big hit of his proposed $1000 / $1300. Something that I had not considered the entire EFI kit with the CDI (all the software is free) is $600+ tax, that includes the dual injector setup, a small one for good atomis...

Twostrokesforever put a Very Good point forward, with regards to the cost. A better CDI set up is the sort of thing that can take 1/2 the cost of this from the big hit of his proposed $1000 / $1300. Something that I had not considered - I'm getting a bit slow on the thinking side at times So I'll ke...

What is it about EFI you guys want so bad, I don't get it. So much work, cash, and extra parts to break to squeeze a few pony's out of a bike so few can use the pony's that are already there. I have carbs on all my stuff we use in the forest and desert and a carb has never left me walking.....I dra...

Maybe there's a larger demand for scooter performance in other countries Oh , shit yes! There's a Massive market in Europe, and into Asia. Anyone that thinks it's small beans is rather ignorant of the market he has been working with / supplying. I saw this fellows posts / story on 2 stroke motocros...

I've never used one of those, but it should be no problem. The down tube is not particularly thick, in fact, I think it gets thinner as you go upwards on it. You may have to pre-heat the frame - especially at the SA pivot / peg plate if you are replacing the full cradle, or , if you are doing the ba...

It's just a flesh wound.

I've got the packaging here - I obtained all my #14 series needles from Suzuki. The 1470 I have, came through as an 'M' , my parts bloke messed up that one , its Suzuki number was 13383-28E20 The 1469N I use had the Suzuki part number 13383-28E10, the 1471N, was 28E50, the 1472N was 28E70 - so I'd s...

Couple of things to consider: A few years ago, CA's CARB legislation (or all over EPA rules?) meant that many tanks had to be changed to meet evaporation / permiability rules. Honda may have already had no problems with this. Or they may have just increased thickness in just bikes that came under th...

If you got it out your way, Gregrobo, the bloody thing would have been hermetically sealed in dester dust. About the only thing that might have made it rust was shop dogs / farm dogs pissing on it. Though with the sun out there, it's a miracle the plastic isn't dust itself.

I'm ripping my hair out at this point :evil: I got my flywheel puller and ATTEMPTED to pull the flywheel with it. Threads in the puller and the flywheel are now stripped, and the damn flywheel seems like its welded on. Split the cases with the flywheel still attached, as the Yami case doesn't have ...

I'd say there's a few hundred buried at the tip near Maico's home town, that were dumped there when it finally got closed down (not really a bad joke - it's true, Merkle, and others retrieved a hell of a lot of stuff that was just pushed into piles). This Canadian mob list liners, including 400s: ht...

Non symetrical / staggered / additional ports have been around since the dawn of 2ts. Some favour it for the mix / tumbling of the charge, , variations on port timing etc. Now, the thing is, if it's what you intended /believe in (with regards to transfers, in this case), when it's 'discovered' by cu...
