I really thought hard about how to explain the Phonetics .... something like this might work Desmo ..... Dasmoh seddicci ..... sejdyccih so together you may say ... Dasmohsejdyccih keep on Trying ... Just make sure, that the Bartender and the Guys next to you know what your doing. I do NOT want you to get hurt caused by a bad Misunderstanding .... :D:D:D:D Is there no italian spoken Tounge here ? btw ... Desmosedicci comes from the Desmodromic Valve Timing all Ducati's have and Sedicci means just Sixteen. Four Valves per Cylinder, V4 Engine - 16 Valves
-
Nope The ultra expensive Ducati is named Desmosedicci

Well Bill, we are pretty much in the same Situation(DINKS), but i think i'm a bit younger than you are, so i'm just not at that Point of my Life. Nevertheless, i'm always looking for the best for my Money. 5000 Bucks for a Turbo Kit seems still somewhere out of Line. Maybe in 10 Years ... :mo money::mo money: I saw the Guy riding with his Turbo Haya and talked to him after his second Run. He said, the Track has not so much Grip and his rear Shock needs a heavier Spring. He started in second and still got a Lot Wheelspin when shifted in 3th Gear and Pressure Selector on the low End. Still got it under 10@133 or something in that Range. From what i have seen there, read in Magazines about street legal Busas and expierenced with my own, 'underpowered' CX500turbo, i do not want to ride such a Turbo Monster. I just stick on normally aspirated and powerfull Engines. I think that's more the Definition of motorcycled Sepaku ... :big-grin-emoticon::big-grin-emoticon:

Gerald ... i've met a Guy here on a Trackday (small Airfield) a half Year ago. He has bought his Turbo-Haya, with longer Swingarm and a Lot of Mods for Drag racing done, but unfinished for 4,000.00 USD... 5000 Bucks for a Turbo Kit ?? No Way i would spend this much Money on such a Bike and such a common Update. If i would like to have something like that, i'd rather buy it for nearly the same Price. P.S. OK, i'm stingy, a Swabian and you kow they have cast out Folks for being extravagant... That's where the Scots come from ... :D :D

Aprillia is coming with a street legal V4 Racer for Superbike Class. That will be a Bike if they can get i it driveable. Equal Power, more Torque than than your ZX-14 ... Not to deminish your ZX or the Busa, but this .... keeps my Mind going ... :cool18::cool18::sun1::sun1:

According to the Workshop Manual downloaded from here, it's 3.70 US quart

Hey Stan, no can of Worms opened in my Book. I just make clear why i stated my first Quote and why i don't want to stand 'wrong'. We keep this Discussion polite as always and nobody is going to harmed in any Way. Well, at least that's my Point of View. I just wanted to make clear that different Engines use different Anti-Freeze. What has been used in Trucks and Cars in Past isn't good to use in Aluminium based Motor of the Present. And for Boiling Point ... Sure is a higher Boiling Point of the Coolant better than a lower, but when the Coolant has better Heat transportation Capability on the 'Cost' of a Lower Boiling Point, it's better to choose this than a higher Boiling Point. Because both Properties are two Sides of one Medal. Wo cares for the lower Boiling Point, when the Coolant is able to discharge more unwanted Heat and heating up Engine, Surroundings and Rider. That's why the Water Cooler normally is black. The Colour help and keep the System cooler. Your Statement to say that any Mixture between 30/70 and 70/30 is fine in any Engine and for Cooling Purpose is .... Please see it as Fact, that more Antifreeze cause less Heat Transportation Capability. So, on our Motors in very high Temperatures we have a 'Problem' in Traffic Jam. And therefore, it is not recommended to overdo the Mixture.

Sorry Forrest, the last Time i checked my Class 8 Trucks, they have had a steel casted Casing, my Bikes, as well as all the other here, all have Aluminium Casings... I'm not saying that you are wrong in your 68/32 Statement. By The Rule of Thumb, this may work. But transferring your Knowledge from heavy Dieselengines to Motorcycle Motors might be a questionable Approach. And talking about the Stuff you use, without mentioning this, might not help Stan on the Stuff he uses. I don't know the exact Specification of Stan's Stuff, but i think, combining what i suggested in Temperature Range and follow the advised Mixture of his Stuff on the Temperatures in Hand might be the recommended Way to handle this Issue. No offense, no argueing, i go to Bed now....

oil leak/ and diaphrams
Squeeze replied to Pappa Bear's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)

Hey, thanks for enlighten me ... Hey, wait a Minute, for which Brand and Type of Coolant does the 68/32 Mixture apply ?? Did you happen to notice that there are thousands of Products on the Market. Not all of them are different, lots are just labeled, but nevertheless, you can count that down to a hundred different. Not counted the Blends and Premixes ... Next ... did you happen to stumble upon Redline Water Wetter ?? OK, forget about it. Forget about what the Manufacturer write in his Recommendation for HIS Product ... Why spend Time reading these tiny little, hard to read, Words, some of them are in other the Black/white Colour Combination printed too. :bang head::bang head: Sorry, i stick to my Story. Use as much as you need to, not more because overdoing will hurt the Abilities of the Coolant transporting Heat. That will normally cause no Problem on our Bikes, but that wasn't the Question. When stuck in midtown Traffic Jam on a hot Summer Day, every Kelvin of Temperature which we can get away from Engine and Rider is Gain. Other than that, i second your Statement about distilled Water.
-
Stan, mix the Coolant to the minimum Temperature the Bike has to suffer in the Shed minus 5 another Degree. The Goal is to use just enough Antifreeze to prevent freezing. If you use too much it's cooling Abilities suffer in Summer.

Hey, i just found one Thing which seems to better in Germany ... Whatever we win is Tax free for one Year. On a Vehicle is no Tax even after that Year. We only would have to pay Income Taxes on the Price when we sell it. And do not forget to declare this Income. When you win Money, there is still no Tax on it. Only the Interest or Revenues are to taxed beginning in second Year. And three Percent Extra Tax on all your Money, when you are rich enough to declare half a billion Euros.

Maybe the same Reason why several stupid Captain's of the Titanic in several Movies run into the Iceberg again and again ?? And I'd thought Mankind happens to learn something from Mishapps .... :rudolf::rotfl::rotfl:

i like the new Design also... And i guess the Rig on the Truck is to haul Garage's

No, it's not because of the Bend, it's because of the different Diameters involved. The Bike's Boots have a inner Diameter(Airflow) with 32mm. The R1 TB's have what? 42mm, maybe 44mm. When you try to suck Air through this Setup, you will create massive Turbulences were the Diameters hit each other. These Turbulence is very counterproductive and cause a massive Drop in Power. You want to have a smooth Flow through the Intake, even if little Turbulences are good for better Torque in lower and middel Revs. So you need to fabricate Adapters which go between the 42mm TB's and the 32 mm Boots. Well, there's nothing which can't be done, but it should mechanically work and give you the best possible Outcome. When you work with longer Adapters the overall Lenght of the Intake Duct is changed and this may result in in good Torque but Lack of Power on the upper End. As you may know, Space is a limiting Factor and if you need more Space for the whole Intake, you can't fit Airbox and Tank anymore in their designated Places. Injection is another Thing than Carbs. CFM Airflow is not the primary Question as long as you have a Bit more Diameter on the Throttle Plates, the bigger, the more Power you can bring up on the 2Gen Venture with sharper Cams. But there are Limits. Going too big means slow Airflow in lower Rpm and therefore bad Mixture build up , less Torque and more Consumption. The upper Plates on your Set are to limit the Airflow under such Conditions, to control the Amount of Air and create a better Mixture. Primary Thing on FI is Gas Flow. When you consulted the Microsquirt or MegaSquirt Website, you might have seen several Calculators on this Issue. The Injectors are measured by the Amount of Fuel going through them and how much Power the are able to Feed. The Injectors you have should go well on your Venture.

Starter not catching
Squeeze replied to tfair's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I second that Statement. These Plug are not sold seperate, and therefore they have no Number because they are Part of the big Ring which holds everything together. As Fixit stated, i would take a very close Look at the 72 Tooth Gear. The Part were the Rollers have Contact with is the main Part of the Clutch and usually wear out. If there is any Damage or flat Spots it's time to replace the Gear. You just NOT want to do this Job a second Time. If you want to solve this Issue forever, send the Flywheel to http://www.pcwracing.net/featured.htm and let them do their Conversion. I'm not sure about what they do with the 72 tooth Wheel, they either Replace or Redo this, but you will have this solved forever. -
I ride a Vmax and a '93 1Gen. I test rided a FJR over a Weekend with my Wife. I was not impressed by the so called Power of the FJR. I was glad to be back on my V4's ... I'd say, you will be delighted from the get up of the Venture. As you are used to the higher RpM Level the FJR needs to give you Power, you will find not much Difference between both. OK, the Venture has a nominal Lack of Power, but the V4 is much more present on lower Revs and produces a good Amount of Torque.

I can assure you, this is a LOT of machining and fabricating. As always, if you start to design something from scratch, on a white blank Sheet of Paper or a clear Computer Screen. This isn't a Problem at all, but if you want to change basic Measurements or change the Way the Throttle Plate Lever hook up to each other you may get a serious Problem... Just because, all Guys over the World have no Money to spend and they put on all Products just the Material they need for their Purpose. If you want to bore a Hole in a Part of the Lever to convert the Linkage from Inline4 to V4, you just simply bore in the Air, there is no Meat left at any Part involved. Especially when you talking about these HyperSport Bikes. Each Parts is not one Gram heavier than it has to be ... I'm thinking about just make a Plan of the Fuel Rail and give it to Friend to get it milled on a 5-Axis CNC Mill. Just because of, i don't want to do this twice on my Mill by 'hand'. Even if i have digital Measure on all Axis's on both, Mill and Lathe, it's not so much Fun and a Lot of Time spent. On the other Hand, i thinking about buying a small 4-Axis CNC Mill on my own since beginning of 2007. Maybe its getting this Way.

Well, i thought the newer 2Gen had only 28 mm Carbs at the Throttle Plates. This is the 'Inlet' Diameter i was referring to. Maybe, i was mistaken in this and all 2Gen have 32mm Carbs. The Way i've read the initial Posting, i was assuming he was NOT intending to build his own new Boots between Heads and TB's. Yes, i'm working on a Set for my Max right now, but if i succeed, this will fit in my '93 Venture also. All Thoughts and Design are based to fit on both Bikes. My main Goals are to get some more Horses(15 to 20 hp) out of the EFI and bigger Air Intake and to lower the Fuel Consumption (15 Percent at least). I am fitting the 40mm TB's to a Vmax Intake. I fabricated four Slices on the Lathe, 52mm outer Diam. 42mm inside. Middle Boring is not the same Point. The inner is 2 mm out of Middle, so, there's 3mm Material left on the smallest Point and 7 on the other Side. Then i welded them on the stock Intakes and milled the 35mm Boring out to 40 mm Diameter. There is a Lot of Work left. The Fuel Rail is to be done completely new from 35x45 mm Aluminium. The Throttle Plate Levers need intense reengineering and the Intake Side of the TB's also ... I haven't given that too much tought yet, because i want to go with special Design inside the Airbox, which allows me to lift the Intake Rubber Boots on higher RpM. This is a stolen Idea from the MV F4 Tamburini and the latest R1 has this Feature also. I know what it will look like, and it's tought through, but there's nothing on Paper nor any closer Measurements taken by now.
