Re: Seeking advice on long-term storage
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

Re: Seeking advice on long-term storage
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

Re: New File - Ruari's Dyno Results - New File- report fr. "Point Man" - #112 mains
Pete, Thanks! Yes, mine (at sea level) seems almost identical to the stock Cycle World dyno run someone posted. No real power increase, just the driveability improvements I noted. I have 10,000 km

Laura, Decide what it is worth to YOU before you go looking for a bike, if it costs what you were willing to pay, you were weren't over charged..motorcycles are like art..there really isn't much

Re: bring back the w650 to the us - Petition
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

Re: New File - Ruari's Dyno Results - New File- report fr. "Point Man" - #112 mains
R, Sounds a positive result all the way 'round. I just pulled the paperwork on my own dyno session (a Dynojet btw) from 9/19/02 and they are pretty close to yours: hp - 45.8 @ 7200, torque - 39.0 @

Re: bring back the w650 to the us - Petition
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

The pilots only effect fuel economy at low revs. When desperate measures are called for and you have to chug along at just off idle the stock #35's will do really high mpg's....80 plus. The 38's

Re: Seeking advice on long-term storage
If you can't smell fuel, it's probably sucking in. No modern vehicles are allowed to vent vapour...It's part of their emissions package. Either way, once the temperatures have stabilised it'll

Re: Seeking advice on long-term storage
I'm not so sure the W650 doesn't vent fuel vapours. I know that it frequently vents something from the gas cap area; every time I'm in the garage alone when it's quiet, I can hear it go off every
