Ferraris and Porsches DEFINITELY get their rings broken in at the
factory before they are sold. They power part of the Porsche factory
from the dynos. This is because they are obliged to guarantee a
minimum power output and the only way to ensure this is to bed the
rings properly. They do this by loading the motor and revving it to
the red line several times. The cycling of hard load and relax to
idle super-heats the rings while they are still rough, melting the
ring's high spots and creating a smooth gas tight surfce. The rapid
drop to idle in-between the rev-outs bathes the rings in cooling oil
vapour.
Several race car engine bulders do the same thing, and in fact if you
baby a motor without doing this as your first action, the rings will
never properly bed-in.

Synthetics cannot stop this initial high spot heating and
melting...They're good but not THAT good...they only manage around
100 deg C above mineral oils before they break down. That's enough to
guarantee zero wear at normal engine temps, but they'll run-in fine
during those initial few bursts.

Re: Change in Mufflers

Ruari McLennan
 

I can't answer that, Brent, but it seems to me that if you cut at the right place & allow for re-introduction of a reducer sleeve sized to fit between the outer and inner header pipe you could slide it in between the two; leave some of it extended; and then clamp back onto it the old mufflers, which theoretically butt up against the outer header pipe.

What info do you have as to the right place to perform the cut, I'd be innterested?

I have a 2000 model W650 with mufflers that are welded on to the head
pipes (factory installation). I've been considering a change to
Dunstall replica type mufflers but have some reservations. Once the
original equipment mufflers are cut off, is there an easy way to
reattach them without having them look like a cobbled up mess? The
small covers at the pipe/muffler junction are tack welded on. From
all of the correspondence that I've seen so far, the main jets are
likely to be close to the right size. I have a Dynojet kit with jets,
needles,springs, etc., and it appears that the modification would
benefit from at least the needle change. Some correspondence has also
recommended the exact point at which the Mufflers should be cut off.

Has anyone done this modification and then reattached the original
mufflers? It looks like a sleeve could be fabricated to clamp to the
head pipes and the original mufflers, but I'm not sure how clean it would look.

fork spring suggestions, please

Drew W
 

Hello - Being that this is a well-worn topic, I was hoping to find
what I was looking for by searching the archives. Alas, no *clear*
answers. So, I'm hoping to get some help from this great group.

I live in San Francisco and most of my riding is here in the City.
The roads here are a bit dodgy and I'm also not too keen on the
proverbial nose dive the W takes on hard braking (a frequent
occurrence for us city riders). So, I'm looking to upgrade my
springs with progressives.

I know where to get the Hagons, but they are rather pricey. I also
know where to get Progressive springs (much less expensive, but
require a spacer). And, my mechanic just threw out a third choice -
Race Tech springs (which are in between the other two in price).

So, for those of you who have done this upgrade, my questions are:

1) which springs do you recommend (is there any that you strongly
recommend AGAINST)?
2) for those that require a spacer, have you found any
issues/challenges/tips with this?
3) does anyone have a good source for the Race Tech fork springs?

Thank you!

Re: Oil/ Oil Additives

another word for the old fashioned concept of running in the engine. The rings will eventually get a heat glaze on them after the rough bits have worn off. Using a super slippery oil just delays the process. Probably best not to over rev the motor for the first couple of hundred miles.

That ties in with what I've come to realise. When something in your vicinity presents itself as a threat, you remember it and keep it within your mind's sphere of awareness. When something does not threaten you, you dismiss it. That's why people say 'I didn't see you'. They DID see you, but they dismissed you from their perception because we only register predators or prey.
?
Ironically, the more safety clothing you wear, the more mainstream and unthreatening you appear and the less you register as a threat to people. Ergo, they pull out in front of you.
?
Less fluorescent jackets and more machine guns...That's the ticket!

The ones you see today are yuppies trying to look bad.? Half of them have fake pony tails attached to their do-rags. They want to?look like?the guy they were afraid of when they were younger!? These days it's so widely known that most of them are hairdressers, CPA's or lawyers, that the mystique is long gone.? Nobody is afraid of a motorcyclist anymore, and that's a? shame.? I was a lot safer on my bike when people were afraid of bikers. They gave me plenty of room, and NO ONE pulled out in front of me.? Nowadays, riding is scary to the biker!

Re: Thinking about getting rid of my w650

The V-Max is an impressive motor and makes a great swap into a Royal Star.? But I stand on my statement (which has NOTHING to do with performance), the Harley Big Twin is the bib block Chevvy of the motorcycle world - big bore, power in the bottom end, limited rpm. You gotta remember that the 348 and 454 were designed as truck engines. Only the 396 was designed as a race engine. Your essays are comparing apples with oranges, so there's no point to be made.? Like I said before, if you're gonna compare harley with Jap bikes, make your comparisons with the Jap big twins that are market positioend with Harley, and have made a small dent in Harley's market. As for a panacke engine sound, you're speaking of the Jap twins, with their offset cranks, not the Harley Twin which is actually a two-cylinder radial engine. It sounds more like a V8 than a VW!

James Franklin wrote:
The V-Max still holds the motorcycle record for 60 MPH to 80 MPH roll on.
Yes, it does sound more like a 327 small block than a 454, but even at that,
a small block V-8 is closer to a large block V-8 sound, than the VW pancake
4 sounding big twin.

I can't even tell you how many impressive stories I have heard about HD
performance at track side while watching everything else pass the HDs.

Harley's only record, world land speed, is held by a V-8, not a V-Twin.

Harleys still feel like they are accelerating hard when the other, smoother
bikes are rolling away from them.

The Evos were an impressive improvement over the Shovels, but the HP #s you
quote are well beyond anything that would last..the crank isn't strong
enough, niether are the rods..it is because of weak parts that S&S became
what they are today.

I don't know what your experience with Harleys is, but I have built many EVO
Harleys to better than 90 horsepower and never had one fail yet. The stock
crank is good for a build to better than 120 hp. The V-max and Magnas are
high rev motors with scant similarity to stump-pulling big blocks. More
power? Of course. But totally different character, more akin to small block
Chevvies that make their power high up (like my 8000 rpm built 65 fuelie
engine in my MGTF) If you want to classify any Japanese engines as having
big block Chevy character, start with the myriad of big inch Japanese twins
that are desparately trying to carve into Harley's cruiser market.

James Franklin wrote: The list of bikes that will
roll away from a Harley without downshifting or
over revving, is too long to list here.

The Harley is closer compared to a John Deer than a big block Chevy..you
want the sound and feel of a Chevy V-8, you want a Yamaha V-Max, or a Honda
1100 Magna.

The Evos made about 60 HP, but their crank came from a 35 HP design..leave
the engine alone, put a tuned but less restrive pipe on it, it was just
find, but build it to make 80 - 90 HP, you have a grenade.

I'm speaking as a prior owner. In regard to smooth shifting, vibration and
top-heaviness, I agree. In terms of riding balance and handling, both my
883 and my1200 were good bikes. In terms of performance, my 883 was a
slacker, but my 1200 would haul butt. In terms of reliability and ease of
maintenance, all of my Harleys were hands down the most reliable and easist
to work on. But it's the intangibles that make the Harley a Harley - the
feel of the engine at mid and low throttle, the styling, the personality. As
the old saying goes, if ya gotta ask... On performance, all stock harleys
are extremely restricted and can easiloy and cheaply make 25% to 50% more
power. A stock EVO big twin averages 46 hp out of the box, and easily make
80hp with nothing but simple intake and exhaust changes. Most Japanese
bikes will stomp a Harley in an all-out drag, but at everyday loafing
throttle, a harley's huge low-end torque keeps it ahead of the pack
effortlessly. Effort is the
key. Do you want to be revving your bike to the limit all of the time to
make it perform? The Harley is the big block Chevy of the motorcycle
world....shhesh; I'm about to talk myself into another harley....
