    Creating expansion chamber template from existing exhaust

    +1 Following the outside will net a slightly longer tuned length overall but if you are copying a motocross pipe for the street, that's probably a good thing! Good luck with it, you'll have something to be proud of when you're done.

    Bearing question.

    What I took from his post is the bearing has an ID of 17mm and the shaft is 15mm, he's looking for the inner bushing. I was mistaken on my previous post, the od of that bearing is incorrect.

    Bearing question.

    That's a weird one because a 1mm wall bushing would be pretty weak... Is it possible the proper bearing is supposed to be HK1512? Check to see if the shaft is hardened, if it is, my best guess is the wrong bearing was installed by the Chinese or PO.

    New to the board

    The motor and frame on Kawi triples never matched from the factory so that's a possible scenario. I agree, it was a screw up from the beginning on their part and it started last summer when I bought a new plate. The plate they gave me was never issued to my bike. The problem is when they called...

    New to the board

    Just to give you a taste of my grief, this is the last correspondence with Serice Ontario... Hello Andrew, as per our telephone conversation this is the information that Jennifer from Hotline told me. First step: Go to the police station and ask them what you need to file a report on this...

    Hopefully I'll have the bike to Paris next weekend! When trying to re-new my plate sticker, I was told that I sold my bike last year and I'll need to file a report with the police. My ownership and plates mean nothing to them now. :( It's nuts!

    New to the board

    Well it's been a long winter. I finally got my bike back together after another bore, some more porting, rebuilt crank, new flat slides, undercut gears, new shift forks, hydraulic clutch and new pipes. It should be a fun summer. :) http://youtu.be/Xv7y9q0KBa8

    RD350 doesn't like to pull much past 5-6K

    I be had bad coil grounds cause the bike to fizz out when it hits the pipe, the added pressure kills the spark. It usually feels or sounds like a rich condition. Is it still rpm limited at both part a full throttle?

    2-Stroke Exhaust Question

    I've built skinny pipes for a 400 triple that worked great. They only had a 63mm belly and make an excellent torque pipe. Transfer duration is 115deg and exhaust is 168 deg on a stock Kawi 100

    2-Stroke Exhaust Question

    To give you an idea of how the length effects the pipe, the first photo is a pipe made for the Kawi 100 and the peak power was about 11k, we added a 4" section to the header pipe and the peak power dropped to 9k.

    2-Stroke Exhaust Question

    This is a 4 stroke exhaust pictured above. There are allot of factors to consider with a 2 stroke exhaust. The rear baffle cone reverse the sound wave so essentially stuffs the charge back into the combustion chamber. It's like a passive supercharger. Even if you only get the length wrong, the...

    2-Stroke Exhaust Question

    Yeah, you'll want at least a stock pipe on there. The Kawi 100 made 10-12 hp stock, with a straight pipe 5 maybe if you are lucky??? If you can't embrace an expansion chamber, I suggest you trade it for a diesel. ;) Btw The later model 100's 5 port cylinder compared to 3 port cylinder have a 5...

    Cross threaded plug

    I would think you would never get a tap to chase the threads properly from the top side, without ruining the remainder of the threads, that tool you posted is the way to go for sure. Either that or you could fashion a thread file by grinding up a spark plug to scape the top 2 damaged threads but...

    A FUCKING HUGE RANT

    Well it was only 5 months ago that Apple brought out IOS7 that turns the iPhone 4 into a piece of crap and they made sure you couldn't revert back to 6 because of security reasons! I got this info from our company's IT guy, he's a sharp guy and has nothing to gain... Like I said, nothing to...

    A FUCKING HUGE RANT

    Ok guys, I just got some interesting info today from an IT guy... 2 things he told me, don't even bother trying to update to 7, the old computer will be a dog if it doesn't have at least 4gigs ram and a quad processor... Now for the good one!! If you plan to keep using XP, shut off automatic...

    A FUCKING HUGE RANT

    I've had a Dell M70 since 2005 running Windows XP... It was a 5k computer because of the video card and ram. Amazingly enough it still cooks with gas using Solidworks so yeah, I'm not running out any time soon to buy a new puter, that's for sure! So for now, I just disable the radio and continue...

    Re: My Suzi T500 Project (New Video) Trevor is is given name, not sure of his board name? You are right about that though, they aren't cheap, especially the H2's A hopped up H1 is the best way to go for bang for your buck.
