Turned up on facebook - seems appropriate to put it here
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

It just occurred to me that Roberts JR bike was converted to Yamaha pipes dimensions and I think porting in 2000, I wonder if that was by proxy also Honda A Kit. like the KTM also seem to have been, It might explain why that Cagiva came alive in 1995 and why Cagiva and Yamaha keep changing bore and stroke and exhaust porting.

The Roberts stuff was all Bud Askland , in mid 1999 I was at his workshop and he already had the new square 5KE cylinder and Kit pipe dimensions on the drawing board.
He had a Czech CNC anemometric flow machine running , as did Yamaha in 1999 according to Suzan the head engineer I met at Philip Island where Jaques finalized the 250 title.
Suzan ( ringlish name ) said that with the flow machine he did not need a dyno anymore , and he had brought a set of 500 cylinders with him, that would give a bunch of top end power to suit the track.
No idea though what was done to the Cagiva at the time , a bit before I started getting into the pits.
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.
Around 94 Cagiva changed its bore and stroke to 54x54 and in my Cagiva album are these pics these would be looking at them much earlier.
George V.....(the short fella)whose last name escapes me came from HRC to Cagiva about the time they started to get competitive.
my understanding was yamaha helped Cagiva but maybe the tech went both ways....they even went to Keihin carbs at the same time.
Then we have this change in 1997 for Yamaha to bridged exhaust from the superior triple port the year before was the move to 54x54mm.

in 98 they went to Honda owned Keihin carbs a well.On this model, the "V" bank of the 4-cylinder engine was widened from 70 to 75 degrees in order to allow an increased air box capacity. A "T" type exhaust port (existing 3-port layout changed to 2-port) known for its excellent pick-up characteristics was also adopted experimentally on this model. This combined with a new crank assembly spec and a higher drive shaft position to achieve improved handling stability. On this machine Cadalora mounted the winners podium twice with 2nd-place finishes and twice with 3rd place to finished the season ranked 6th
it's just supposition of course.

CNC inserts done for the big piston/head shape shootout - 4 pairs.
Head covers awaiting some material.
Just have to spend a couple of days grinding ports - my favorite job , Not - then have the plating done.

i remember seeing a post showing the layout of a thermosyphon system with thermostat.
By wobbly I think.
The search function isn't finding it for me.
Anyone keep a copy or know where it is ?
thanks
it wasn't wobbly...
he did post a few with thermostats.

Thanks Husa for that. Memory said it was thermosyphon.
Now looking at pump drives.

Wonder how long a tool battery would drive an electric pump? If of course you don't have an alternator. A Turbo booster brushless pump worked well on the MB100.
But I did have the CR250 stator and ignitech. Never sagged voltage on the dyno.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
