Interesting!

TZ, can you save changes to the ignitec on the fly? (With the engine running)

Yes, well depends what you mean about "on the fly". With the IgniTec we can do a pull on the dyno and as the bike is winding down make a change to the ignition timing map and re load it ready for the the next pull, quick as and the engine does not miss a beat.

But we can not alter a point on the ignition map and have that reflected by the engine without re loading the complete IgniTec file.

You should be able to alter a value in any map that starts with RAM because as the name suggests, these maps are loaded in RAM and run from there. Any changes therefore are effective immediately. I've messed with my ignition map, not on the dyno I must admit, and I'm pretty sure I could hear a change. If I remember I also saw the Spark CrA values change as well on the gauge

BTW Mal that plug I swapped in desperation on the dyno I had checked before I put it in to make sure it was the same as what I pulled out, but for some reason had a brain fart. I double checked last night & couldn't believe that there was no 'R' in the code.

Didn't know I had any non resistor plugs. Must have come out of the 50 at some stage.

Perhaps that was the reason I couldn't get the PC to update the igni when it was running.

Could have been the one I lent you at BOB...

Ill correct you there Dave.
"When Leigh drove off after having walked around asking everyone if they had everything they needed from the van....."

But no worries that why we have parts boxes.

I've been thinking a lot about ducting the air on a two stroke. See attached for bits taken from "The Racing Motorcycle. A technical guide for constructors" by John Bradley. Whilst it isn't ground breaking discussion it is at least interesting. The book is a favourite of mine, I just wish I could get the second edition to read!

Hopefully the text is readable

I thought that when I bought the first volume, so grabbed the second when I saw it available - equally good! Lots of stuff at an understandable level - hydro-forming exhausts (though we know that costs a little power now, but perhaps easiert o make pipes and odd shape), rapid prototyping parts, etc, etc.

This was posted elsewhere today i had never heard about it... predates the win of Roberts on the TZ750 gorilla.
Note the scoop.

Typical Erv attention to detail..

With cardboard handguards on the bars and air scoops funneling air to its three cylinder heads, Don Castro's #11 Kawasaki H2 flat tracker is warmed up for battle by its creator Erv Kanemoto. Scott Brelsford's #19 H2 can also be seen in the background.
