I managed 275 from a TD04,any more is pushing it....thought about TD05's???..also Subaru and easy to get still....although they do run bush bearings as opposed to roller bearings.

Fantastic job.......refreshing to see an old bike do so well.You must have some big cahonies too lol
-
They still do 93 Octane fuel!!

Is it a case of the binnacle being mounted in such a way that the cable simply wont fit.(angle of drive for instance)??.I only know of those converters that fit into the drive unit on the wheel and converts through wires to digital clock but that's not what you want.
Im sure a digital speedo off another bike or even a universal one could fit if you knew the dimensions and you were hands on.Give it a go.
(Im not sure if i still have my old knackered clocks for you to practice on)

That's pretty impressive.
...what were you expecting to get to???

I have used Loctite 5990 Copper sealant with good results.
-
I didn't get many pics i'm afraid although you would have thought i would have done considering the amount of waiting i was doing!!!

Cheers for that mate.
I have seen 1168 as well as 1230 kits,any preferred option if i were to go that route....as for turbo,don't lol...i have still got to convince the wife it needs a rebuild!!!!!
-
Ok cool.....i like options.
The clutch is ok especially after fitting the heavy duty nut.It does have recent plates in too.If its not needed then i will not get it.
I only mentioned the big bore kit as they come up every time i search the web.I will look into the oversize but i wont commit till its apart.I once got another bike (twin) honed and ringed and it was as good as new.

So,after one (long awaited) run at the Pod yesterday i have come to the conclusion its time for a re-fresh of the old girls top end.Looking back down the strip made me wonder if i was on a two stroke!!!...Needless to say i didn't risk a second go.Shame.I did better my workmate however so can hold my head up even though i did fluff the run a little.(my first time,my excuse).
The mileage was always an unknown since i bought the bike and a compression check back in the Spring showed it wasn't as tight as it could have been.She always ran ok though,so i decided to use it this summer with plans to do the work this winter.
I have seen the usual piston kits ie Wiseco which come with rings and pins and these will need a rebore to suit...are these kits the normal route people take?
I am also budgeting for valve seals,gaskets,valve grind,clutch spring/basket upgrade..is there anything else you could recommend doing.I am not after stupid power but simply a good strong bike.
-
Im planning to go with my workmate and his 60's Trumpet drag bike...(He has only had it 6 months and first used it at Dragstalgia,NSA comp).
I should be taking my EFE just for giggles.Originally i was going against my mate but it seemed like an comp thing only but the Pod website says its a RWYB on Sat,is this correct??..if so i could get the chance to run along side my buddy...if only to shut him up lol.
Are you taking your monster??
-
At least it hasn't got any barnacles on it lol.....looks like a project and a half there mate

As opposed to washers you could get a thin flange laser cut to fit between the sprocket and hub.Same goes for the front sprocket.More expensive however lol.
-
Love this bike.....
-
No....It will cook off slightly but still retain enough on the threads to ease removal of the nut.I use it all the time.Messy but helps especially if you are removing components regularly.
My workmate hardly uses the stuff.....then wonders why he is grinding nuts off later...doofus.
-
I used brass nuts on a turbo manifold due to the heat/cooling cycle...also,like Strima,i have used stainless.Just remember to use plenty of copper slip to prevent galling.
-
Ouch.......i was going to suggest Autosol but maybe not.....

Out of curiosity do you have a filter in your fuel line?..O rings may be new,floats may be as new but if you have a little bit of debris come through it could hold the valve open.

Whats this???....Another trackday????....get in...i'm up for a bit of that again...
-
How far did the tank strip go??...could you have messed up the fuel tap perhaps?....mind you,with the open pipe and pods i would have thought the bike would err on the lean side.
