Will I get my 100 ready in time for Taupo?

Ok D boy.

Lots of dyno talk but no actual number or graph posted. I think its about time you posted the results of your efforts.

+1 thinking the same

Forgive me for leaking it, I can't keep it quiet any more!

i know it was 27.5 the other week so dont beleave that or else dave is a slow rider

Well done Dr Dave...
Looks like a Honda....

So what that work out at: 1hp per year since the project started (over standard)

yeah thanks mate, must be at least double that now I've fitted an expansion chamber.

All will be revealed while you're all sobbing into your beers & I'm drinking (sensibly) from the trophy.

Dave, looks like he's mixed up your 50's graph with the 100's. Not bad if it's real, not bad at all. Has anyone checked on Rich lately?

[F5 Dave]

I think you'll find its a real graph for an RM125 or something.

Well yesterday pulled apart my shift light for a 2nd time & drilled some holes where the fractured terminals were, soldered on some dangly wire & hot glued it back together. Guess they didn't expect as much vibration in the dash of a Familia compared to pushed against the wobbly number board of a Bucket racer.

Well on the count down with a few tasks left before I drop the bike off to Skunk tomorrow. To come home to a power cut. Smeg. Kids in bed at 7:30, its dark, ahh I'll just put my head down. Wiff comes back from werk at 9 so I get up & don a head torch & LED lantern.

Shift light fitted. Front wet fitted. Carb totally stripped & returned to previous spec in 32mm body.

Also trial fitted the fairing. Needs a little trim with the new pipe from last time I fitted it so that may be tonight's job + pack.

We got power back at 4:30 this morning. Wonderful stuff. Highly recommend those Eveready head torches though. Brilliant if pricey. Never felt compromised.

While I've been thinking I realised that the 35 carb caused peak to be a little higher than the 32 (say 12600 rather than 12200). As my bike heated up the results slumped a little, but what I should have done was adjust the revs on the timing that was now on a sharp curve at that point & more heat put into the pipe as further down the timing curve for new peak power. I've written that badly, but I think it makes sense.

Next I'll do the carb change over compared to other carb with a flat curve then optimise the curve. There had been a few more det flashes with the 35 that I was a bit concerned about. That is energy being lost & backs up the theory.

Either way I'll stick it back to the same spec as tested with the 32 for the BOB. Sorry I didn't take any pics of the curve.

I haven't tried my replaceable stingers since the slipping clutch days. I'm running a 20 straight, but somewhere nearer a 17 or 18 might be more applicable.

And I could shorten the pipe for some more revs.

Then its time to start on a decent barrel & pipe.

Ah, that's better.....when the dyno chart was posted i thought "he's peaked too early" Now i see it's situation normal....development stops (temporarily) at the dummy grid...

power - try being without for a week as we were recently. Tyre warmer generators are good for keeping fridges going.

think he of to the dyno after seeing the one on here lol

[F5 Dave]

We lost power for 2.5 days a couple of months back & with two preschoolers in winter it isn't fun, but its only a window of what it must have been like for the hundreds without power in Chch in winter well after the rocks. Makes you waste a bit of heat & hot water immediately after to warm up emotionally. No sir, I don't like it.

[koba]

My wind-up was spotted far too quickly, it was from an RS125 of some description.

[speedpro]

I just noticed the "54mm" bit as well. Rich would be proud.

[F5 Dave]

Well I fitted the fairing last night & with the aid of a bungy which stops the ears drooping I don't have to lower the bars which means it should be comfier than nekid & no more cramped. Needed a little more trimming around the pipe & boots area, but all good.
