and #6 though that wasn't revved quite as hard as the sidecar. There is a limit though - see avatar.

Bugger, missed that op, I should have asked if that one had spun to 14,001.
Don't you look at my accountant.

well mine is holding up ok 4 years on now and only a slight crack in the pistonOriginally Posted by speedpro
it's seen 11000+ rpm and 4 2 hour races
anoher one hase been spun up to 13500 and a micron but ran lean lol
since then it's done ok and realy pulls like a school boy
I wonder how different the gp is over the ts ??? the ts is piston port ????
oh yea the bike hase also had many bad gear changes going down instead of up
but never rapped a rod around the crank yet !!!!!am more use to the reverse gear change now

The dodgy old four strokes seem to last ok though, my GN spent a considerable time with 12000+ showing on the rev counter, it took two season before a valve let go, the crank was still ok

Thanks for the input. I have looked for rod kits on the net and it looks like Suzuki used the same rod kit for a lot of 100/125's. So it looks like the GP rod kit is no better then the TS/TF's etc., and a bit limited you tell me.
Now thinking about a RGV (50stroke/56bore) Rod and piston kit, but then it will be a 125 and I will be limited to 24mm carb. I can still bore the 100's 22mm carb to 24 as I have't hacked into yet.

A while ago Suzuki superseded all their 100/125 rods to just the one model which happened to be the RM rod. It's a good one as is the silver plated big end bearing they come with. I expect they will be pricey compared to say a Pro-X equivalent.

Thanks for the tip. But RM?? is it ok to use this rod????

if it's a replacement for the gp125 then I guess it's a go
being a road bike spare part and all

How come the 4 strokes can rev so high compared to the 2 strokes???

I'm guessing but it may have something to do with a 4-stroke only having a power cycle every two revs of the crank.

and the word about the Tacho. Often they are so far wrong when they get up in the range as to be laughable. Friend's MB50 that spun up to 17,000, -or so he claimed

I'll bet your 50 gets around the 12-12.5K range, Dave.
Certainly sounds like it !!!
The Loncin engine, when I programme the tacho correctly to read it, revs to around 11,000 before there's no more usable power, although I've seen 12,000 a few times (at Kaitoke, overrev between the short corners).

Yeah but the 50 has a shorter stroke so can put up with more. Even so if you show an RG50 13,000 on a regular basis it will expire in short order. Actually mine revs higher still, but it's still all road parts, just from several different manufacturers.
If you put your bike on a dyno you will see how optimistic most tachos are. The R6 of last year revved to 17,000. Or 15,500 genuine, so don't automatically assume electronic tacho is correct.

True about the optimistic tachos, however, I reckon the tuned Loncin would be about right in the reading (well approx).
