ok try this . i spent a lot of time tuning two stroke years ago. as you know the pumping in a 2t is a whole different kettle of fish :D . and anytime i lightened or added weight to a 2t the engine braking increased or decreased. this was just because of the flywheel change because the pumping effec...

My long rambling post above was my attempt to explore the science and the factors. It's interesting that different people report different results from the same experiment, and I wondered why. I'm still thinking this through. Maybe an analogy might help. Or a thought experiment: Upturn a bicycle an...

Rings fluttering !!! :whatever Not saying its anything to worry about.. just stating facts about why vaccum in a crankcase is a good thing. I also forgot the expensive 3 step solution to get the best of the light throttle and less engine braking. 1. lighten the flywheel = faster revs/light throttle...

Agreed Micky!

So engine braking effects can be felt in two ways: 1. As you downshift, revs drop due to the shut throttle. Letting the clutch back out engages the rear wheel to engine connection, and the effect of the engine increasing revs to bring it to the speed dictated by the primary and secondary gearing an...

+1 with what Kermit said. Cut and strip the wires solder on new connector. Dont forget to put the shrink tube on before you start twisting wires together. I Installed a led H4 headlight bulb on mine as well. Much whiter and brighter than before... only downside was I had to leave the rubber peice off.

Today I noticed that my full beam indicator light was faintly illuminated when dipped was selected. Upon investigation in a Tesco car park, the headlight connector (on the bulb) was too hot to touch and has melted slightly. The earth tang on the bulb looks oxidised and even the base of the bulb was...

Mine is all stock with a 10mm spacer over the rear shock. I didnt notice much difference at all... maybe it corners a little quicker, but it is still very stable.

Is it just me.. or do these degree numbers seem very high. Im thinking that its because its measured at 40thou instead of the standard 50thou I've still got the instructions for my Yoshi Stg1 cams so I'll have a look for a comparison. There's a post on the Superhawk forum with the figures too I thi...

so after talking to the chap I bought this stuff from, he said everything was supplied by Honda to a local guy who was racing a vtr and was sponsered by honda. I looked up the cam specs in the mega cycle book from the stamped 102X3 on the ends. the specs are: Intake: Lift - 11.43mm Duration @ 40 tho...

Great news! It seems theses are some real deal parts. the crank is in new honda box with the crankshaft part number labeled "Moriwaki balanced blueprinted crankshaft" I received two sets of carillo rods.. the shipping label says they were shipped to a Honda manufacure plant in toronto. the...

Well all good info but what I see as the most important factor here is coil bind. The stocks springs would almost certainly bind with STG 2 cams IMHO. I have this opinion because all the high lift cam options have spec'd replacement springs. Even with big cams, hi comp pistons, head work and whatev...
