dmoff i read your post carefully and there is a misunderstanding ......torque does not continue to increase...both torque and horsepower reach a max and then decrease as RPM continues to increase....this max occurs at different rpms for each value and is different for each type of engine...torque peaks early then declines...horsepower continues to increase ,levels off and declines a little....but as in the previous posts...cross at 5250 rpm's....they are related but not equal ,as the math formulas show... torque is a measure of how much work your trying to or are doing in a rotational direction ( pounds/feet ) ....W= Force times Distance.....Force = Mass times Acceleration.....so work = mass times acceleration times distance........no work is done unless a distance is involved....notice , i didn't say torque = force.....and torque doesn't equal work...so torque will reach a peak and then decline. horsepower is a measure of how fast you want to do the work...notice in the above simple definitions...there is no mention of time in the torque definition ( lbs/ft)...so the difference between torque and horsepower is a time factor....at a certain point in the rpms your acceleration rate will decrease (not speed, it is still increasing ,just at a slower rate because your rpms are increasing and the piston can't fill as completely as at lower rpms, so the "push" declines)...so torque begins to drop... and sooner than horsepower......so, you do your hardest work in the middle rpm range..moving a set weight over a short measured distance per so many seconds ( high acceleration,high torque, horsepower increasing.rpm increasing, ).....as rpms increase the rate of your acceleration declines ( your still going faster so horsepower is still increasing, but your torque is decreasing because the " push" is decreasing )so your moving the mass faster, but not pushing as hard as you were because of piston speed and the ability of the piston to fill and make power..then throw in friction and drag at the higher speeds and you've reached your horsepower limit as you can't go any faster (horsepower = work fast ) and your "push" has been decreasing . got it ! right!.......LOL....hey, all these other posts are correct....i just posted mine to make a point...and to correct your minor discrepancy....the point is is that horsepower/ torque definitions go from single sentences to pages of explanations.... maybe i helped a little....

no argument from me....and if mine starts to leak, i now have another method to use.....just wanted to let people know that i've had no issues with just an 0-ring
-
the 0-ring by itself has worked just fine for me.........
-
as an example for time.....we left harrisburg,pa and rode to skyline, the BRP, and the natchez trace and then back in 10 days last may....we did get off of the BRP around roanoke on the way back....and it was 10 days of riding with 3 days of sunshine....hopefully, june won't be too bad.....have cold/wet gear with you...there are lots , and i mean lots, of pull-offs , so the amount of time for your trip can depend on how many times you stop......and traffic may be worse for you in june......not too many motorhomes in may for us......no matter, you will have a great time...

you can buy synthetic " blends".....which are a dino/syn. mix.........or you can do it yourself........i'm always curious as to where and how these urban stories get started.

Avon tire questions
jlh3rd replied to Dieseldawg's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
so avon has a max tire pressure on their tire.....but avon reps give out different figures for different weights ?..........i'm confused.... -
Avon tire questions
jlh3rd replied to Dieseldawg's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
my thinking.......exceed max tire pressure.........tire go " BOOM"...........now, no contact patch at all...!!! -
Avon tire questions
jlh3rd replied to Dieseldawg's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
um........the tire manufacturer doesn't care what the tire is used for..the max tire inflation pressure is exactly what it is....a max tire inflation pressure ( cold)... whether on a motorcycle, car , plane, bicycle etc......you don't have to run the max pressure......but you shouldn't run over it.... -
Front and rear tire pressure
jlh3rd replied to Chiro's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
never exceed tire pressure printed on tire the yamaha manual recommended tire pressures are only for the oem bridgestone or dunlop.... if the e3 says 40 max......then 40 max it is..... -

Passing Lights vs No Passing Lights
jlh3rd replied to rumboogy's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
i think the bike looks better increased visibility during day and night 35w lamps don't hurt too much with the stock electrical system....my system is upgraded with a bigger stator and i run 50 watters which put a pull on the system when i run heated clothes use a relay...don't wire through the ignition switch... use a spacer sold on this site ( carbon one ) for mounting if you want easier access to your fairing...it does push the lamps out ahead of the headlight...i'm not crazy about that look but i'm always inside my fairing doing something so i accept the look in exchange for easier access -
it has a cassette player:big-grin-emoticon:
-
germany trained their fighter pilots in those...........that's why they lost the war....
-
i'm not crazy with the look either....i prefer the harley look.....but i'm always messing around inside the fairing, so it does make it easier........i also would be interested in a different mod
-
why not ?
