Frits, do you see a future road-use for the Ryger possible, regarding emissions ?
can it meet with Euro5/whatever is comming ? The problem I see is that it still uses an expansion chamber (and a 2T without one is a whole lot less interesting to me), so a catalyst converter before the pipe makes the pipe useless, and one behind the pipe wouldn't work (I guess) as because it wouldn't be hot enough ?

I'd suggest you do a literature search on the the historical development aspects of catalytic exhaust technology,
& its subsequent subversion to politico-economic interests - sadly - over its true technical/functional potential, esp' in relation to 2Ts..

Its not that you only have one or two posts, its just that link was already posted some time ago. Old hat I guess. And for god sakes just dont try to start any conversation of fourpokes, especially anything to do with harley

Great, just wanted some kind of reply as to whether it was the patent or not.

No intentions of starting any HD discussions, I'm multi dimensional, I can love 2 strokes, and HDs, and some other things, all at the same time. I think thats illegal in some places

I suppose there won't be many Hodakas still around....

Collectors favourite AFAIK.. but there are plenty of Hondas about, on which you can sadly die a Horrible Death..

See if you can score a legal medical dispensation..

Shorter transfer duct and more volume at the entry, could this be a good idea? ....

The Suzuki GP100 bottom end is being widened with a splitter plate for a 6 speed TS gear cluster.



There are other links on this post that connect to the back story so far.

Here is a "thing" we machined up today.

Thanks to some very expert engineering help the six speed spacer plate has been made and fits perfectly.



With the spacer plate fitted the new gearbox has the right sort of end float and spins over very nicely.

Next move is the long rod crankshaft.

why dont we see the zero shift concept in all transmissions ? maybe cost is the reason. shifting up and down at full engine speed with no clutch seems fine to me, thats how i understand it to work anyways

6 speed, water cooled, 30+hp @ 12500 rpm 1980 Suzuki GP100, can't be to many of those around.

6 speed. Now you are actually talking. Good work Rob, it's been worth the wait.

[TZ350]

6 speed. Now you are actually talking.

Yes and in going water cooled, it is something else I resisted for a long time but it makes more sense now.

Pulled screaming and kicking into the 80s.
Next time I see you you'll be sporting a Flockofseagulls haircut and some spangly boots.

Have you guys given up on finding the Ryger patent? Can't be that hard since you more or less know what the patent could look like. I suppose they would of course apply for a US patent in addition to others. Anybody know if it is still just a patent application, or if it is actually patented now?

Yes Frits will know

As I recall, from my brief time as a Patent Examiner, you won't be able to find the patent in the public arena until it has been "published". This may be months or even years after the patent has been granted.
If it hasn't been published, you won't find it unless you have patent office employee authority to search patent databases.

Dunnoa bout that.. so - what does 'patent pending' signify then?

Pat Pending was a prolific Irish inventor. His name is on damn near everything.

From now on, every time you see that inscription on a device you will think of this stupid joke.

You're welcome.
