    yea i ditched the air filter after i was informed that my bike mite go better without it. im in your boat kendog not running anything. i just tape it up when im not racing. not the best thing for the carb probably. iv started work on and air box,going to be a trial and error thing made from icecream containers and hot glue. maybe i could put a air dam/scoop out the side of the bike !

    Hey Tyler, Best advise i can give you is dont take too much notice of what you read on the internet. (no offence everyone!)
    On the net it is way too easy for any joe bloggs to jump on and post almost anything. 100 hours of internet research will produce 10,000 different and conflicting theorys about what you can/cant do. Every one of them will be backed up by "it worked great for me / my mate / a guy at the pub / old time racers / my sisters bosses hairdressers husbands old mate.
    Pick one or two guys that you know personally (prefrabuly local) that know their onions when it comes to working on engines. Talk to them and follow what they say. They can give you the theorys - along with both the up and down sides of any changes you make. It dosnt even really matter if they have never heard of a loncin, a single cyclinder 4 stroke as about as simple as engines get.
    Hmmm, starting to look a little preachy here. Didnt mean to come across that way. Can i just say... this is not a dig at anyone who has posted their ideas! just my opinion.
    BTW - im no genius engine builder, i rely on advice from others then do the work myself.
    Good luck little Firn. But not too much luck, I will be out there soon and would like to be in front of you...... hmmm Retard your ignition timing and use a much smaller carb
    There is no dark side of the moon, really, as a matter of fact. Its all dark...

    Like I said to you at the track the other day there is more corners than straights at Roys Hill and more horse power at this stage is not what you need. For sure you are on the right track in trying to find some good rubber for your bike, once you have good rubber and have your corner speed at the max of the tyre grip and or handling thats when you need to start looking for more power. As for my bike the little Loncin was standard for the first three years and the only reason I started to find more horse's was I couldn't ride the thing any harder around the corners to compensate for the faster guys with more horsepower. In short (bike skill before horses)
    It's not what you ride but how you ride it!!

    thats cool dude im looking for some good rubber too. maybe look at creating an air box / intake runner, simple and cheap and yet you will gain smalll amounts from them and cost next to nothing. dont try and run your exhaust in the same configuration as me, yes it gets it out of the way and looks trick but it ends up being right beside your intake that isnt an ideal. . revisit gearing of your bike maybe, if your like me i was only just hitting forth the other day, F1shy was punching though the gears, using his tourque to full advantage and it showed !!!
