The strangest of noises

[unstuck]

Yer ya see that's what confuses us ya ride a Honda but don't like hugswell ya do own suzi's and yamm'es so no wonder ya say ya got issues.

Did this op ever find out what the problem was?.

No problem hugging males, just sheep farmers.

I think the biggest issue with drawing the mixture through the turbo, is it eats turbo wheels. Other than that they work just fine. Better atomizing of the mixture even.

[Fast Eddie]

suck through works fine..

don't worry about the fuel eating the turbo - your big end will run much sooner been there done that a few times now..

still a laugh to go waaaaAAAAAAA pish on a bike.

best when the turbo is mounted by your knee.

Yup, what this wellington twit says is correct.
Blow through is more bad-ass anyway.

lol but turbos just pump mixture into the engine and don't work very efficiently on street engines, only as it reaches optimum speed & as with roots type blower they pump heat in as well. If your going to fiddle with the motor you want something that'll work at all speeds as well as or if not better than a turbo at optimum speed.
A Sprintex S82 is especially designed for bikes or you get a S102 (same as fitted to some range rovers) run 7psi pressure and come away with a engine running 40% more power

Finding an S82 might be a little pricey in NZ though? One of 'em would get the GN making okay power

Lack of boost.

lol well silly ideas with a tired old motor call for silly options

Ha a GN would be a far safer and simpler option to throw a turbo on than a highly strung 250/4 with 5c piece valves with stems like matches

well guys, all biking exploits on hold

i was unfortunate enough to be involved in a serious accident the friday gone,on a short trip to my hometown nelson.. a van pulled a U-turn infront of me on a passing lane. i hit the drivers side and tore my bike in half, and wrote the van off.

the driver of the van sadly passed away at the scene.

somehow i managed to escape with my life: i crushed two vertabrae, cracked several ribs, punctured a lung, cracked my pelvis, and destroyed my right hand....

i have been incredibly lucky, and instead of being in a body bag as i should have been; i was discharged yesterday and am home with family for my 6-12 months recovery.

despite this being a freak accident;and an incredible feat for a motorcyclist to survive a car vs motorbike... i want to encourage the use of full saftey gear, and i will be spending my recovery promoting the purchase of full gear by learners before they buy a bike, as im sure many of you started in the jeans jacket stage until you bought gear.

ride safe guys, and be careful!!!

[Drew]

Umm...FUCK!

[haydes55]

Shit mate that's no good! Glad you're on the road to recovery and hope it's a full recovery.


It must be said I'm glad the causer of the accident died rather than the victim.

Good luck promoting the gear. I had all my gear before I even had the money for a bike (except I forgot gloves, the guy I got my 1st bike off gave me a free pair anyway).

That's a big call considering you've only heard one side of a story.

Ratshit, sorry to hear that dude. Pretty rough all round I would imagine. Hope your recovery goes well. All the best.

I'm surprised didn't hear about the crash in the news. I don't actively watch or listen to the news, but I do hear it on the way to work on the radio.

Google's got nothing either.
