    RS rear end swap

    Yes it is a direct swap If you have to drill and tap the shock mount Re use the Max drive shaft When I had mine I just cut the cable for the speed sensor and left it in place. Welcome to the forum :punk:

    Fan current?

    Yes all electrical things are effected by heat. It will show a difference Easiest way to tell the current draw is to use the following equation V=IxR Measure the resistance of the fan using a voltmeter across the terminals and divid that into what every voltage is reading 13.5 or 14. THat...

    Happy Birthday Thread... (post all wishes here!)

    Thanks Guys First I would like to say thanks to all my adoring fans, this wouldnt have been possible without you. Next I would like to thank God who had the foresight to put me on this earth. Then of course Moms and Pops.... Been working on my Academy Awards Speech :biglaugh:

    How to increase RPM without damaging engine

    Well since no one has volunteered to test the carbs I will be the first in line!!!!!! :punk::clapping: I will be your guinea pig :biglaugh:

    Dual Radiator Fans???

    Lets not put the cart before the horse. I had the custom radiator built because of cooling problems. I havent even had a chance to try it out yet. May not even be a problem with the current configuration. Been waiting on the improved bigger fan I ordered. Supposed to be in today I have a test...

    Dual Radiator Fans???

    Good Call I will go find some, much more open area

    Dual Radiator Fans???

    Thats a good call. I was wondering the same thing so I put in a call to the guys who made it, Ron Davis Radiators. They said as long as 1/3-1/2 of the core area is open to air flow it performs to design specs. If it is too bad I can always pull it off.

    How to increase RPM without damaging engine

    You a funny guy :biglaugh: Oh yeah I would make this engine chain drive as well dont know if I want a shaft drive trying to make 12k rpm

    How to increase RPM without damaging engine

    84 mm bore 55 mm stroke 1219 cc engine Sean what is the biggest one could go on the bore with our bikes??? Also it seems like an "ideal" Rod/Stroke ratio would be 1.7:1 or there abouts. A longer rod makes more torque with the same piston force, and since it's less angular than a shorter rod...

    How to increase RPM without damaging engine

    I have been spending a lot of time on the interweb searching this stuff out. I have looked at shortening the stroke. Our swept distance per bore is reduced so likewise is volume requiring an increase in bore to return to the same swept volume. The pistons are no longer travelling up as far, so...

    !!!Working fuel gauge, FOR REAL this time!!!

    I was looking at that route as well but I wanted to use off the shelf components. I like the idea but for accuracy I would use more than 4 resistors. Just my .02 Thanks for the advice on the LED. Now I just have to go pull it all apart again :bang head:

    How to increase RPM without damaging engine

    Thanks Sean Thats exactly what I am looking for If our blocks arent strong enough then there is no need to worry about this. Every thing else can be engineered to flow more. The RSV4 has 48mm throttle bodies on an 1000cc engine We all know what that does to our bikes :puke: But if we can...

    !!!Working fuel gauge, FOR REAL this time!!!

    Yeah I understand Kirchoff. My only question still is, when the level sender finally allow enough current to activate the relay to shut down the pump so we have to go to reserve will there be enough flow through the LED to light it up if there is a lower resistance resistor in parallel with...

    How to increase RPM without damaging engine

    Lets take for example the RSV4, yes I know our bikes are not sport bikes, just the engine It is a dual overhead cam, 4valves per cyclinder, water cooled, 4 stroke, 65*, V-4 engine. 1000cc Look familiar to anyone??? (except for the size) Its redline is 12,500, max engine power 182 hp, RWHP...

    How to increase RPM without damaging engine

    I have some ideas but I was wondering what you guys think. Reason being is power. Since HP= Torque x RPM/5252 we can see by making it go faster we can get more power, especially for racing. Our bikes make a lot of torque comparitively so lets say we were to get the RPM up to 12000 and I know...

    dropped my bike

    Re: droped my bike Sorry for your loss, of pride that is :biglaugh: Right there with you though. I was coming up to a stop sign getting off the freeway and there was a car in front of me. I was looking at oncoming and crossing traffic waiting for the car in front to pull forward, what I...

    Old Wives Tale or is there some truth???

    Side gapping and indexing of spark plugs??? :confused2: Read some stuff on the interweb, never done it my self. Wondering if anyones had any experience either on our bikes or other engines.
