The bike has generic proportions of a vintage 50cc motogp with a honda hobbit moped engine. Add a modern watercooled cylinder to bump the hp from 2 to 12. The tank and seat are steel. Front brake is from an early kz400, forks are pw80. All tubing is chromoly. It's a pig at 145lbs but it...

Know the signs of pre-ignition and detonation before its too late. If the motor doesn't seem happy it'll let you know one way or another. A $3 colder heat range spark plug turned into a $300 top end.

After having some fun on my 87 fz700 last year I decided to get out of the 2 stroke game and dabble into 4 strokes. A friend of mine had an 86 ninja 250 and was selling cheap. Heres what it looked like: This is after I swapped the rz350 front end and rear wheel: And this is what it...

yep, you're right. I've picked up a new bike and trying to keep it funded from past projects. You'll really like the powerdynamo ignition, considering how much hassle I've had from condensors going bad and shoddy rectifiers. I'm glad its going to another dtt member. Joe

I'm making some room in the shop and my fuel injection project hasn't been touched in a while. I've got this modified set of yamaha r6 throttlebodies and aluminum adpaters that would fit directly onto suzuki gt250/t350 cylinders, and would be very close on the yamaha rd bikes as well. It has a...

Yep, I've been putting some miles on it. Its put away for winter, but I've already got the engine pulled. My plan is to pin the heads(center the squish), block and remove the cylinder oil lines(keep the crank bearing oil lines), and a few other little things. As for the rest of the bike, I've...

Only trades I can think of would be fz700 plastics. I can wait for the cash.

I've got a dunstall 1/4 fairing from my gt250 project. Made by airtech. Painted semigloss black with a smoked windscreen. $190 new, can let it go for $130 shipped.

I've got a set of fully adjustable telefix profesional clipons. Very large surface area on the forks and adjustable in 4 axes. http://www.telefix-products.de/product.php?id_product=116

They all look great until someone sits on them and their knees are higher than the elbows.

I've purchased generic points/condensor kits off ebay for my suzuki gt250. They lasted about a month untill I started dropping a cylinder. I replaced it with one from a volkswagen beetle and fixed that. Not two weeks later the other one went. I've got a powerdynamo system now. I do not take...

I highly suggest you stick with well tuned carbs before dropping $1200+ on the fuel injection equipment just to say you can. Take that cash and invest in better forks, shocks, and brakes.

That reminds me to pull a tire off and put an extra layer of electrical tape around the spokes.

Check out this thread and scroll down to my reply#4. It'll explain how to use a light for setting the timing. http://www.2strokeworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=12211.msg92172#msg92172 Considering you're using the stock timing marks when looking through the stator plate, you won't need to find...

mid/late 2000's model mazda 3's have manual windows. No one makes 13" tires anymore. I upgraded from 15's to 17's on my fiero and even 17's are getting small. 18-19" rims are becoming standard now on many vehicles. I personally wouldn't buy a car based only on how little options it has...

This is mostly copy/pasted from my last bike of the month voting page. A quick list of some of the modifications done on the bike. Wiseco 6th over pistons, an actual 336cc: Complete yamaha rz350 frontend: Yamaha rz350 rear wheel,caliper, brackets: Beefed up lower shocks: cnc...

The bikes heart grew from 250cc to 336cc and lost the fuel injection and the fairing. Priorities :)

Heres some pics I promised. You may also notice the fairing is gone.

I know I haven't updated the thread in a while. I ran into software/miscellaneous issues again and eventually took the fuel injection system off and reverted back to carbs. I've still got everything in a box, ready for another winter of removing bugs without getting into my riding season. I...

Check the mounting surface on the cylinder and carburetor for flatness. Make sure you're not using too thick of an oring on the carb or else it'll pull the flanges warping the carb. If you want to, get some gasket material and hondabond and use a paper gasket instead of the oring. Stock...
