bruteforce Posted June 28, 2016 Author Posted June 28, 2016 New oil makes the clutch hold better, new hydraulic lines to the cooler has fixed the oilleak. Was on my way to @Rene EFE when I felt my buttocks clench harder and harder while the AFR was slowly reading lean, leaner, leanest. When it indicated 20 with the motor still purring like a kitten I finally realised that the meter must be at fault. On the way back it indicated faultlessly. Any idea why this happened? Tesfitting the trailer for Cadwell Somehow it still has not sunk in yet that I finally have the level of performance in the bike I wanted to reach all these years. It is like a modern high-performance machine: You can ride the 1200cc motor very civilised and smooth on the plentiful torque around town and find ridiculous amounts of RAW POWER when you spool the turbo up. I now need to fit a new rear tyre as this one has completely squared off leaving those neat rolls of rubber on the surface. Needless to say I'm a happy bunny. 7 Quote
Leblowski Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 Meter properly calibrated ? A wideband can give false readings when af is way to rich also. Quote
bruteforce Posted June 29, 2016 Author Posted June 29, 2016 yes was calibrated at install, worked OK before and works OK again now Quote

Maggotbreath Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Dude, put everything you think you need on the living room floor. Then immediately remove 50%, leave it for 24 hours and remove another 50%, now you should be ready to go. 1 Quote
bruteforce Posted July 13, 2016 Author Posted July 13, 2016 Yeah, I always take too much stuff with me but then I'm rather taking a set of dry clothes too much than walking around wet... Apparently I will get a small feature in augusts' Practical Sportsbikes magazine. I was spotted packed like this with a clearly "ridden" dirty bike. They were surprised that I got there on the turbobike "all the way from Holland"- it's only 100 miles guys, the rest is done by boat.... Quote

gmansyz Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Hiya'allz, F.I. time Marco? Is that Subi turbo a ball bearing unit? Really love the real, ridden everywhere look of the bike! LaterG G 1 Quote
bruteforce Posted February 22, 2017 Author Posted February 22, 2017 Hi Greg, See my new topic in "members" part of this site. Subaru unit is a plain bearing type turbo. Quote
