Re: It's not for a storm, but I'd like to hear your thoughts
Generally spoken any shift mechanism that works with levers and linkage imposes quite some reaction forces on the shaft. Usually the shaft doesn't have a roller bearing but a simple bronze bush. This will have more friction when under radial force. And to make it worse that involves rather huge port...

Re: Brake Pads
Std Storm callipers have two diffrent sized pistons in them, no idea why but the brake engineers must know. That is related to a friction effect. On the side where the disc runs into the pad/caliper it's creating a slight torque that drags the rear part of the pads together. If you have equal diame...

Re: 2021 Steering Damper Options?
I'm using a LSL kit and it had initial issues with a bend damper rod. The issue was that it felt strange when steering into slight corners at the German Spreewaldring. For debugging I loosend the steering damper fork clamp and viola - effect was gone. At home I had a closer look at the damper and fo...

Re: Yoshi cans
If it's just cans: I'm using these on my pitbike and found the quality absolutely ok for the price. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLaVTyh I added an additional dB killer in the entry section and modified the rear dB killer with slightly bigger holes (sum up hole cross sections to be sufficient for the e...

Thanks folks.
Actually we had a small VTR barbecue with some 4 other German forum members enjoying the 33 deg C in the evening.

Re: New Aus member....
As I do use mine on track, too, I'd have a few additions. Before you get any other brake calipers, try Lucas SRQ brake pads without the backplates. The Brembo master cylinder has which diameter? The stock pump has 14mm, usually you go higher with radial pumps. I use a 5/8 (around 16 mm) SC57 radial ...

Re: Moto 3 practice crash.
I wasn't offended by "lad", just by not mentioning the full name of a deceased person.
Seems like a cultural issue then.

Re: Moto 3 practice crash.
In my opinion it is rather disrespectful to title a deceased person as "the lad". Even if you never heard of him (or took notice), it's a matter of politeness/respect to mention the name. And if you couldn't spell Jason Dupasquier it's not too complicated to cut & paste it from the lin...

Re: Lets see your 2 stroke pictures
My latest twostroke pic. Newly rebuild engine, first trackday on Oschersleben kart track. Gave it two stints for running in, then trashed it like usual. At the end of the straight I was steering in and downshifting and engine seized in an instant. Rear blocked and lost it immediately at 136 kmh (sai...

Re: Velocity stacks
Only properly shaved tonsils are capable of measuring those subtle differences. But I have a very affordable way to skin that cat a different way: There's several apps that record acceleration and rpm and calculate a performance curve from that (plus user entered values for weight and drag/rolling r...

Re: From 107 to 128
People speculated that different vacuum would create a different slide position yielding to the observed rich condition. But this isn't controlled by the vent holes - they only control how fast the slide reacts to changes (more/bigger holes = more dynamic, less/smaller = more damped) Something that ...

I use Aspen for my four stroke 2kW generator to ensure good starting after a winter in the garage. It also works fine in the lawnmower Some of the German indoor kart tracks require aspen fuel when you're there with your pitbike. https://aspenfuel.co.uk/products/ Naturally you don't run it the whole ...

Re: Cold starting issue
After the first 3 spring rides, I dare say the new battery helped in my case. Bike started quite normally, even after having stood for a few weeks. As a security measure, I have ordered a voltmeter from Alibaba to monitor the battery and charging system. The quality was astonishingly good and the di...
