Re: bring back the w650 to the us - Petition

 

Dennis,

The "trick" part of the 270 crank for the XS 650 isn't the crank, its a two piece and can be disassembled and rotated..the pins line up at 270..no 180 though, the trick is the cam chaft that goes with the kit.

The cancelled New Norton 962(may be off on the cc's) ended up as a 270 crank, they claimed it ran smoother than a 360 crank.

My two stroke twins have all been 180 cranks, since a two stroke fires every
revolution, would just be two singles if they wer a 360 crank (Ossa's 500
was a 360 crank, but I never rode one of those).

Honda's CA 72/77 Dreams, and the 125/150 Benlys were 360 crank, single carb
bikes for sure, and I think that the 1968 - 1976 CB 350/360s, CB/CL
were..but I would have to look that up. I think, also from memory, that the
CB 160/175s, Twin Stars (ugh), Rebels and Nighthawk 250s were also 360
cranks.

Honda's CB 72/77 Hawk/Super Hawk were 180 cranks as were the original DOHC
CB 450s. I had a newer 450 Hawk..the 3 valve per cylinder SOHC thing, which
I think had a 360 (ugly appliance looking engine, unlike the original 450
which had one of the best looking motorcycle engines ever in my opinion).
180s for a small "revver" 4 stroke seems appropriate to me.

Yamaha's XS 650 came with a 360, but there is an an Australian made 270
crank that is getting a lot of attention on their site. Supposed to be
smoother, better power delivery..never rode one with that crank though.

I am never on my W when I come accross another one....besides in the showroom, I can't remember seeing two of them in one place.

With litterally thousands of bikes in Daytona, I saw only one other W, and we were going in opposite directions.

Re: mpg jump

 

??? Does anyone have access to your key ??
This reminds me of the father of a friend of mine. Back in the 60's he got rid of a big car with a V8 and bought a VW Beetle. He was being "ribbed" at work about his little car and would?justify himself by bragging about his great fuel mileage.
?Several of his co workers got together and started bringing pint bottles of gasoline to work and pouring it into his tank. He was soon bragging about getting 80-90MPG out of this amazing little car !
? After a couple of weeks they reversed the joke and started siphoning a gallon a day out of his tank.
? They toataly blew his mind and when the "smoke cleared" they all had a good laugh about a fairly harmless joke.?? Thanks for the memories !

So I was riding on MacArthur Blvd this afternoon, and some dude wanted to
turn left onto a street I was going to turn right into. I kinda did a double
take at the front of his bike, it looked so familiar... He turned onto the street
right behind me and followed me for several miles. I kept looking in my
rear-view... Dang, that bike profile looked familiar! We finally pulled up at a
light, and I looked over at his bike -- Nice Bike, I said. Likewise, he said!

His name is TJ, he lives in DC, he bought his 2000 Dub last year from someone
in Frederick, and he didn't know about this group -- so I told him. I sure
hope I wrote down his e-mail addy correctly!

That was so cool! There's no mods on his bike that I noticed, either, and
it's pristine. Not like my poor SAKI who's feeling her 50K miles! :)

So that's my excitement for today.

Had to take my W in for its MOT test this morning, so while I
was
waiting I took the Versys demonstrator out for a blat.
Wow, very nice bike. Certainly a lot quicker than the W even if
lacking the lovely gruntyness; but what really hit me was just
how
planted it felt on the road. Absolutely rock steady. And the
single
front disc is in a whole different league.
I was very enthused, but as I don't have ?4395 (what a bargain!)
to
hand I was very pleased that my W still felt pretty damn good
when I
got back on it. The W seems tiny in comparison though; I felt so
much more visible on top of that flame orange Versys!
If I can ever afford a second bike again I reckon that'll be it.

I've had different opinions locally about whether to drain the carbs over
the winter storage in my unheated garage. Some say in this temperate
climate, where it only dips below freezing a few times these days and
there's only a week of ice & snow, it's not indicated as it'll only dry out
the seals and rubber. Others say despite gas stabilizer, I shouldn't keep
old gas and crud in the float bowls and should drain.

Comments, anyone?

European fuel is manufactured to a more consistent standard than NA

Re: Seeking advice on long-term storage

 

The first thing you should do with Amals, is take them off and replace them with Mikunis.

Amals are made of the cheapest "pot metal", my younger brother was a Triumph mechanic for a few years, he said that Amals were almost beyond calibrating after 3000 miles because the metal was so soft and they just couldn't get them to match..of course, if you only had one, theres nothing to match.

On a brit bike running Amals or something I’d say leave the carbs, but what happens particularly on Jap carbs with loads of small passages and jets is that the gas evaporates and leaves a varnish behind that can block them. Drain, drain, drain…

I like the power delivery of a 360 degree twin. Firing order is important. The reason that Triumphs made such good dirt bikes is that the firing?angle is symmetrical...every 180 degrees. Bang chuff bang chuff and so on. Thus you get a regular bang on every revolution, at the same place...just like a two stroke single....
?
180 degree crank bikes don't have the same firing,...they're either bang chuff, chuff bang, or bang bang chuff chuff. It feels different and not entirely 'right' to me.
?
It's like the difference between a 120 degree triple and a typical four. The Triple always has a totally different feel...somehow more appropriate to a motorcycle...It might be something to do with the regularity of power pulses when the bike is at the limit of traction...I don't really know, but certainly 360 degree twin dirt bikes put power down in a very controlled way.
?
Four stroke single dirt bikes are better than two stroke singles at getting power down initially as they punch out of corners and that is entirely down to the fact that the bikes composure has time to settle in-between pulses and the regular rhythm?of the pulses allows the rider to 'sense' the rear tyre's behaviour . 360 twins are the same but you need long stroke lower revving?motors to ensure the pulses are far enough apart.
?
If they could make them light enough, I would not be surprised to see four stroke 360 degree twins competing again in top level MX because they make more power than a single with similar bottom end grunt.
?
As you say, you need to add 1000 rpm to everything...That doesn't work 'off-road' and the edge of that difference is what I sense 'on-road'.
?
?
I've no doubt your bike??fuels smoothly, revs higher, makes more power and all that, but?all 180 degree motors ?'feel' slightly wrong to me...irrespective of build or brand.

My first date with my husband was on a RD 350, shortly after though he bought himself a brandnew RD 500 in 1984, this was in Germany and he then brought it back to the US. We moved to Monterey at that time and he actually took it to the track at Laguna Seca. But I always liked the RD 350.

cranked it through until the bowls were full of fresh gas..and it runs.
While I played with the the '75, my younger brother was taking rust off the

I rode the 75 for a few hours..then rode it to work on the 5th. These bikes
belonged to a list member (thanks Evan) and it was because of a conversation

tracked it thru the kitchen , and then Maggie decided we needed to ride
the Shadow to Claremore, 55 miles away, to eat the senior lunch special
at Golden Corral. When we came out SHAZAM flat rear tire ! Walked to
AutoZone and got 2 big cans of Fixaflat. This got us to Oologah
where I found we were still losing air. I found a 3/4" staple with both
ends buried in the carcass, Fortunately I had a set of that rubber
string stuff with the augar file and insertion eye. I pulled out the
staple and air gushed from the holes which I kept losing save for spitting
on the area. I managed to get the file in and raped it real good It
was at this point I discovered the glue dried up probably a year or two
ago. However, the Fixaflat made the seal and I made 20 miles to Nowata
and checked again and
discovered the pressure was the same as Oologah. On to Bartlesille to
nap and rest my sunburnt face. YUCK Damn, I am sure glad I had the
rubber stuff and will never be without it or that slimy stuff in the can
again. In the process I had to look at my tire and discover it is due
for replacement This scoot has to have the bags and mufflers pulled to
remove the wheel, assuming you have some way to suport the bike since
nobody puts centerstands on anymore I can even remove the rear section
of the fender on my 56 Matchless single. Keith Williams
