    That's an high Voltage Lightning wandering upwards between the Electrodes

    Nope, won't happen if assembled correct

    You did open the Pinch Bolt prior to breaking the Axle loose ? Sorry, but no need to ask why i aks such a stupid Question ...
  4. Squeeze
    Bill's right, in Fact it doesn't matter at all how straight or bent the Axle is. Once the Axle is tightened down, all the Parts through which the Axle goes, be it Collars, Caliper Holder, inner Races of the Bearings are forming a straight Line which is the real 'Axle' on which all the Bearings and the Rim is turning on.

    Folks, he was slower, so he came out the Dust without scraping anything .... That's a smart Move !!!

    Well Rick, Pegscraper is just right on the Spot, there's nothing to follow up ...

    Basically you're right about Ducati and other such V2 Bikes. But these Motors aren't Twins and they are made for big HP and they have a Way smaller Displacement than the V2 we're talking here. But you need to Rev them close to a Inline4 Engine to have them on Power. Torque isn't bad at all, but not compareable to a V4 Engine because where the Ducati has it's Peak, a V4 will be somewhere above the lowest Point of teh Curve. Ask Casey Stoner what he thinks about his MotoGP Ducati with a V4 Engine. They have had to tame the Motor a Lot to get it rideable. But again, we're not talking Racers here, this is a whole different World. And btw ... do you know a Ducati Bike with more than 20 000 mls on the Odo and without major Overhaul of the Engine ? If so, either the Rider don't ride it they Way it's supposed to or he's lying. I know some Ducati Freaks, but even they admit that the Motors won't hold up long enough to see 25000 mls in the Odo.

    The '09 Max won't be mine, i can't put it up on a Bet. But i'm willing to put up the latest Bike i have, a 2005 YZF-R1. Very low Mileage, Showroom Condition, absolutely like new. What would you be willing to put up against that ? :080402gudl_prv::witch_brew:

    You can just look at the Specs and say those Engines have similar Number, so they are nearly the same. A V2 Motor will always have a good Torque at low Revs and it FEELS fast, a V4 will have a very broad Torque Range with a Peak somewhere and more Power(hp-wise) than a V2 Engine and IS fast. I'm willing to bet that your first Ride with the Kawi won't make you happy seen from Power and Torque Point of view. I've ridden big V2 Engines and they can't hold up MY Expectations from them. So are the Inline4, they have lots of Power, but no Torque. That's why i'm sold on V4 Engines and nothing else. I'd rather buy the new Aprillia V4 Racer and smooth that Bike out with big Money than buying a V2 and try to squeeze additional Power out of the Motor. You can't tune those Motors enough to be satisfied without ruining the Long Term Reliability. Call it Stage Kit, Screaming Eagle or whatever. As for Belt Drives, yes a Shaft Drive will allways cost you some Horses, where a Belt isn't that costly. But the True Reasons for the Belt is manufacturing Costs in first Place. They are build fairly cheaper than U-Joints, Drive Shafts and final Drives. Period. A Chain Drive has 4 to 6 Percent Loss, a Belt around 5 to 7 Percent, a Shaft Drive around 13 Percent. A unmaintained Chain Drive has up to 15 Percent Loss, a poor (worn) Belt Drive can cost you up 11 or 12 Percent, a poorly maintained Shaft Drive will cost still 13 Percent.

    What to do?

    Squeeze replied to a topic in Watering Hole

    Take a good Look on your Bike, if it's worth being rebuild, accomplish a fair Price and keep the Bike. There's no need to rebuild it Part by Part, you could chop off/leave off what isn't necessary for a Bike and make a real nice naked Cruiser or Chopfighter out it. You still should be able to get a good used or even a NOS Bike to replace your Bike for Touring Purpose. I'm still looking for a cheap 1Gen to make that happen. .... Make a Dream come true.

    That might apply to Motoroil, but not to Gear Oil for the final Drive.

    Rick, Yahoo Instant Messenger also uses their Servers out in the Internet. But it's very stable, a Lot of OS available, even a Java Based Version. But it's probably against the Yahoo Rules to use it in a Business Company.

    What i said, either the Expansion Hole is clogged or no Freeplay on the Lever. You didn't change the Lever to an Aftermarket Part ?
  14. Squeeze
    Me thinks, SilvrT talks about a Inhouse Solution without using the big wide open Internet to travel the Messages. We use Yahoo Messenger, but not for confidental Data, just plain "talk" and not so important Data. Nice to Have is the Archive, which allows to check back Conversations. I have no Idea about a Inhouse Solution.
  15. Squeeze
    Probably the Expansion Hole on the Bottom of the Mastercylinder is clogged or the Clutch Lever has not enough(or no at all) Freeplay.

    No, electrical Load doesn't change a Bit the Current the Stator is producing. The Current only is changing due to different RpM. So to speak, Rpm is above 3000, Stator is pushing full Amount of AC Current out to the R/R. The Rectifier converts the AC to DC, the Regulator sense the System Voltage and cuts excessive Current down to Ground. End of the Story.

    You're definately lugging the Engine. The 2Gen Gears in 4th and 5th Gear is waaaay overdriven. Of course, the can be minor mechanical Issues, but other than a non synchronized Carb-Set, i can't imagine something else wrong with your Bike. Stay away from the low Revs and you'll be fine. These low Revs and the Roll-On Load don't do anything good on the Crankshaft Bearings in the long Term. You should at least have 3200 before letting the Beast pull onto full Throttle. Plain said, let that Beast fly and you'll be fine. I've redden two ST1100 and there is no Way that the Honda has the Kind of Power a Venture will deliver just above Idle, but that's where where you're riding it. The ST1100 would buck and stall the Engine.

    Nope, won't fit without major adapting Works. You'll need the Headers also, because the VMX-System in whole is different. Very doubtfull if you could fit it at all.

    And don't forget to open the Pinch Bolts on the lower Tripple Tree before working on the Lock Nut

    I broke a good Quality 1/2 Inch 19mm Socket when trying to losen the front Axle on my Max. Well, after the Socket broke and the Bolt Head was nearly striped, it did come to my Mind that it might be a good Idea to losen the Pinch Bolt first before try to turn the Axle again. Guess what, it worked this Time !!! :256:

    I think it's safe to say that you can forget about this Argument. I can shred a Clutch even without putting a hundred Miles on the Odo, on a 2Gen that is. On a 1Gen, no Miles counted during that Process. They will argue with wrong Riding Habits and even will get out of Court with that.

    I was researching another Issue when i stumbled upon this .... http://vmax.lvlhead.com/tips/clutch.htm It's Vmax but will give you most of the Information. Replacing the half Disc with a full Size is called DoubleD Mod in Vmax Slang

    Greg, i'm not deep into programming in the Languages you ask for either. But i can tell you, the only real Deal on this Issue is Assembler. It will work for an single Cylinder Engine with the other Languages, but on a multi Cylinder Bike you will experience Timing Issues with all the Input Sensor you outlined. I didn't understand what's your final Goal, making the EFI work on the Bike or working out the System in a engineered, but not necessarily functioning Mode for a Degree. If you want to have a working System on the Bike, take a Look at Microsquirt EFI and work with this System. Bowland an Grippo have done a Lot of inventive Work and they have all you need and a Lot more. On the other Hand i'm quite sure you know the System already. I've worked on several free programmable EFI Systems and even if the Program is Windows based, there is a Lot of programming to do, without working on the Basic Functions themselves.

    From what i'm reading online, there are Bikes left to sell. No 'Sold out' Report so far. The canadian Price is a bit on the high Side, as for all other Countries than US. The German 300 Units Portion is sold out per Quote of my Dealer. But if you want a serious Answer, you need to call Yamaha Canada. If Yamaha says they're sold out, you can allways go to US and buy one there. There is a Guy who ordered two Bikes and wants to sell one due to personal Issues. I don't know where in US he's coming from, but i could gather that Information. IIRC, he's from a eastern State.

    Now, why is it that you're making Fun out of that serious Situation at Frogman's Expense ?? We are discussing a serious Case of Snake Attack on one of our Members and you're not diplomatic enough to maintain a Mood which doesn't lead to wrong Questions ? Shame on you !! :sign20::crackup: Ok, that's enough, i'm out of it for now i'll go to Bed ...
