Perhaps it is as simple as, the one that gives most power Rob, sance detonationLet's see what Wob says. I just used a 4 point curve like I know from rd's and the like, felt more comfortable, eager to see if your efforts where the right way.
edit: cooling might be easier with 'mine' in the longer run?
ps, you think the rs125 scavenging is apropriate for the/ your RG?
That I'd never tried this before... rs125 vs yam12, hardly a difference (on this setup) Was expecting something major![]()
TubMax is a reflection of the % of fuel energy retained in the unburned end gases trapped in the squishband.
The shape of this curve is affected by a myriad of elements but the biggest factor is the real ignition timing.
In a race engine the results are supremely useful for juggling the ignition timing to fix any major anomalies that can produce low bmep
at one point or several in the usable powerband.
Where you are running what i would call "normal" numbers for timing - say 28* at the bottom of the range and 15* at peak then some further retard
to get heat in the pipe for overev capability,the curve shape will be close to that of the torque produced, a flattened bell.
ie low 900 rising to high 900*C at peak torque then dropping away again as more of the combustion heat energy is dumped into the pipe.
You have to be careful of part throttle deto at the beginning of the powerband, and then of course if the temp starts hovering at 1000* in the high power range
you will get DETO lighting up on the screen.
To drop the temp it is easy enough to simply retard the timing - but more power may often be had by adjusting the stinger, or reducing the com/squish velocity then rerunning the
Turbulent model to account for the differing flame propagation speed thru the chamber due to squish turbulence changing the combustion delay numbers etc.
These factors are just as important, sometimes more - than the "raw" ignition timing number at any rpm point.
Each end of the bell curve can be tipped, by use of a powervalve for example,or a solenoid powerjet that is simulated by a change in A/F ratio past peak power.
Ive got a thing thats unique and new.To prove it I'll have the last laugh on you.Cause instead of one head I got two.And you know two heads are better than one.
Thanks Wob ...
Will only be legal if you can prove it was done at the time. Which considering the RG was released in about 1984 might require Marty McFly to be involved (think DeLorean)
Ahh screw the infringements, Win8 makes this too hard.
I googled Suzuki RG50 for images & a few rows down saw myself on my No. 27 RG when it was silver.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
The oddities of Google. I ran it again & it didn't show. Then I refreshed & refreshed & it did. Lage size, note Flag guy in the 'Bum pants' we awarded if you fell off. Had to wear them till someone else fell off. This isn't posed photo, I look bored. Those leathers look 10 years newer than now.

Yes you are right, not pre 82 at all, ohoo well it could make a neat F4 100 I suppose.
No pictures, its just ideas at the moment, and anyway the cylinder spacing of the GT125 is a bit tight for two RG50 cylinders. We would have to shave the inside sides of the RG50 cylinders to get them to fit, could be done but does not look easy.
Its been done with 2 watercooled MB50 cylinders by Phil Bird. Actually GPR own it for last 20 yrs
I've looked at RG cases & wondered about a Vtwin conversion that might just fit in the RS chassis. Would be light for a twin which the GT isn't + GT is 5 speed.
