wanted MVX250!!!!

[White trash]

I heard (not sure if reliably) that the rear piston conrod was made heavier to balance the 2 front ones up a little better and because of this put heck of a strain on the crankshaft.

Dunno how true this is.

Imagine a V-Twin, with three cylinders. Ummmm? That doesn't sound right.

The sum capacity of the front two cylinders is 125cc (or thereabouts) and the the rear cylinder also equals 125cc. The engine is as smooth as silk on an MVX, possibly one of the smothest reving bikes I've ever ridden. I just wish the fuckers had been a little more reliable.

Funny thing is that the NS-500 grand-prix bike was the opposite, ie one down forward and two upright !!!
Look how well the supposedly inferior NS-500 was competitive with the RG and YZR's (mind you Fast Freddie had a lot to do with that too )

A ‘friend’ told me his mate cured the sudden death routine sighting that the ignition timing was incorrect from the factory & so by retarding the middle cylinder (presumably by slotting & rotating the pulsar coil) the issue went away.

Take it with a pinch of salt, but it would be worth dialling it up to see. I mean there must have been a reason, they were watercooled. Staggered jetting may help too.

Was funny I remember it was like ‘buy a bike & get a free MVX’
outside Sawyers there was a sea of them,must have exported them here for $0, probably cheaper than the rubbish dump costs in Japan.
