Aussies building 1100cc 2-stroke triple

[F5 Dave]

Hi Steve, glad to see you've made it here at last (Steve must be on every other forum in the world by now).

Good points on torque, often well misunderstood. Of course until recently (due to impending rules) all competitive Trials bikes were 2 strokes. They have very little powerband effect, just a big wide spread of power.


Obviously this 1100cc bike is totally silly, but a good showcase of what could be done, or perhaps while there consider ordering a 500 kit.


Now stop slagging around on bike forums & get back & do some work. I've just wired my YPVS controller back into the modified loom & made a bracket, I'll be wanting the PVs soon.

I be interested in Steve and Wayne's views on piston port, vs reed valve, vs disk port
I had an old H2 piston port and found some cylinders that had reed blocks
welded on, the the power difference between them was not huge,
but where it hit the sweet spot was strange!
and i love strange science

As I've said before - it would be great in a roadrace sidecar frame!!
If it is 'uncontrollable' in tests, then you aint gunna get flicked off in a hurry as you would on a 2 wheeler!!
Would give you lots of testing without lots of repair bills!!
Also, lots of room for diagnostic gear.........
Er, I know this decent chap that aint half bad at punting a sidecar.....

Yeah Stev Bron I'll pass his number on

Exactly who I was talking about Kick!!
So, have you guys paid for your sidecar yet??

whats the same class NZ for prototypes ie B2B
shit with this engine and a major lack of sanitity
you could have some good fun (dont think it would last to long though)

Well stop talking about it ladies, give the man his USD$50k and he'll give you a motor for your sidecars...

Argh.. cant's gets to the site.. bandwidth exceeded....

50KUS for a triple or NZ40k for an NZ V8 with TZ barrels. No I think the V8 I would have to lean toward purely just to hear it.

[ducatilover]

Quite possibly.
Torque = acceleration...HP = top speed. Right?
My only experience with 2 strokes is a TS125 and a T500. Narrow (relatively) powerband and absolutely no zing outside of it. And I do tend to associate torque with engine-braking.
Apologies to those I've upset

Could it have something to do with composite torque? I think so
