Bucket update

[Ivan]

haha yeah will do.
I really need to stop being slack and build my base spacer as that would work well.

[Blackflagged]

I had a real nice Aprilia RS50, These engine go quite well I think I have the design for a expansion chamber somewere here for one ill have a look for you. I know of one making 16 horsepower at the rear wheel. I noticed standered tho they dont have good power spread its all top end rev

WARNING,before clicking on photo-You may want to sit down,if your easly excitable,or prone to dizzyness.

[Ivan]

That is nice!
Far it looks really serious. Did you do that what year is it the 2000?
Dads was the 99 apperntly one of the fastest around the wellington region for a few years but I dont believe that, F%'s bike is way more trick than dads old Aprilia. I now have the frame and have a XL125 engine in it which is a piece of shit. I wonder if the AX would fit straight in there


Woops better not do that or I wont get to race it! Better just finsih building that XL engine, Last time I rode it I got 1 K and lost the chain becuase the stupid aprilia 110 chain setup and you cant go thicker on the 1999 whereas the 2000 you can.


Got any pics of Your chassis?


Man I wouldnt want to touch that engine looks to mint,


(Thinks he can make his 50 look that mint)


Might go prep the 50 up so im out off here laters all you boring sods that have to refer back to this lame thread that never really gets any were except for getting good advice.

Well apon trying to start my RG50 I find out that ithas a crack in barrel were the exhaust bolts to so i took the engine out to get it fixed properly


So back to the AXI went and decided to Make some Gaskets out of card so I have a shape to trace on to the Ali plate, Well I made 2 pieces that were over 2 mm thick out of a Shapes biscuit box

It did raise the height of the barrel and I started it it runs sweet so I am going to try make my ali spacer today


Laters all

Ivan

Oh I will post some picsof what colour scheme I might go

[Sketchy_Racer]

Go the green Ivan

ohhh, and it is official i have a bucket...

But all will be revealed when its done

[Ivan]

I know all about this bike,
Yeah the green is snot green, haaha well the frame sadly is a Kawasaki frame which sucks


Might be keen on swapping frames with you

"Greens Nice"-dont forget,if you raise the barrel 2mm,you will need to get 2mm,machined off the top of the barrel.

[Ivan]

Yeah I know that one,
The good thing is my head gasket is homemade and is like half a mm thick or something so the compression wasnt altered to much,

I have some new tires for the bike as well,

Well not new second hand old stuffed ones which dont work on a 125 anymore,

I have a Wet for the rear as in wellington its never hot enough to get a good slick hot and never hot enough to cook a wet,
And a Slick for the front which I am gettign cut with grooves in it so when it rains I still have some grip in the front end as I hate crashing

[Ivan]

Hey I made the base spacer,
Its 1.5 mm thick but doesnt really raise the port height to much.
I dont fell like cutting the ports now because theres no need.
I think the altered port timing tho should make a difference, SO I am gonna get some pics to show you guys,

Haha made it with a file ,a sheet of Alumininum a vivid and a strong little ginga man,

Shame its to late to start it up now, to see what it goes like
Now this bike is going to be RING DING DING past Glens little bucket bike he now owns.

I cant wait to race this bike, Should be fast as now, NowI just need to Dyno this bike to see what horses she is pulling.

Closeto 70 I think


Now come on fellow bucketers how many horses is your bike making?

[Skunk]

9hp at a guess. Don't care - it's still too much for me.

[Ivan]

9hp and the ZXR And the ported bucket?

[Kickaha]

Now come on fellow bucketers how many horses is your bike making?

The Gn was 13.5 before we did the cam and made it a 150

[Ivan]

that aint to bad,

really, have to Dyno myne to see what sort of horses Im making its making alot of power

[Skunk]

You mistake noise for power...

[speedpro]

Raising the barrel 1.5mm is a real good start. You have of course measured the port timing as a basic measure of where it's all at now?? No, of course not. Raising the port will generally raise the revs the motor works at and with other appropriate mods it'll make more power. However with the compression now at 4.73:1 I doubt that "Im making its making alot of power" this is true.
