60MM TAIWAN BBK Here I Come!!!  By  jerseyboy (Read 4,218 times)

He is a tough dewd man,,tougher than me,,thats for sure...today was kinda warm compared to the days he was out..

For around town 50 mph @ 7k is perfect. I mean on surface streets that have a speed limit of 45mph how long do you get to run that speed consistently.  Now for long trips or hwy riding you are right. I wouldn't want to run 7k for that long. I think what you are going to find is that with rollers heavy enough to be turning 5500 rpms at 50 mph, your acceleration isn't going to be all that great and it's really going to suck at 45+ mph. Alley has his setup to run like that but he also has a lot more cc than we do.

Oh as for the NYC oil cooler, forget it. Taida is the only oil cooling setup that actually circulates oil through the cooler. I'm sure the NYC cooler is of outstanding quality, but that doesn't mean it really works. They hook to your motor the same way the cheap ebay coolers do. Taida's cooler has to have your crank case drilled and hooks in line with the oil pump.

Good advice.  I'll keep that in mind if it ever gets cold here again.  I haven't seen a really cold winter since 2004.

I took the air inlet off of the carb and hand modulated the air flow.  Ran like a scalded dog when the flow was just right.  I'll get it eventually.




One other clue I got is that, when I take the carb off, the intake is wet at the front.  No idea why gas is  there.

Alright guys,,,
It was 39 degrees out here today so I bundled up and decided to got for a 20 mile break in rip..

I had jeans,ski pants over them,tee shirt,sweater,carhardt jacket,motorcycle jacket over top that i could barley zipper lol,my mask that covers neck ski gloves,and a full face.My hands and feet started to get a little cold by the time 20 miles was up..the rest of me was warm.So bundled up I couldn't even move except for twisting the throttle..lol

The motor ran perfect,,the ride had a few big hills I kept it at 5K-5.5K 40 MPH most of the time,,sometimes I was at 4K and a few times I rolled it WOT and brought the R's up to 6.2K or so,,man its running awesome,,still breaking it in so cant wait!

Im going to break this one in a little different than I usually do,,will go easy with it and see how it turns out.

After its broke in I will do a top speed run on flat surface..see if I can catch Geh....I doubt it..lol

I bought a wind breaker and a fabric jacket at Walmart, that I'm pretty happy about buying.  

The jacket brand is called FreeTech.  It is thin, light weight, mostly water-proof, inexpensive, and very warm, especially when you put your hands in your pockets. It also has velcro wrist straps, pocket zippers to keep your things safe from falling out, and a lined front zipper. 

The wind breaker has an "S" and a star logo on the tag.  It features a mesh liner. When I got in my wreck, it slid on the ground, and tore a little, keeping me from getting road rash on my back and shoulder.  You can wear the hood inside your helmet too, nice on cold and rainy days.  

The matching wind pants have a waist cord, front pockets, and calf length, lined zippers, that can go over boots.  Like the windbreaker, they are not enough alone for really cold riding, but they give you a thin and warm airspace, especially under something thicker.  

These two jackets go very well together.  Both the jacket and the wind breaker zip all the way up onto the neck.  You can be comfortable from at least the 40's, probably lower, and also be comfortable in an office.  They are light, well fitting, easy to take on and off, carry around, and store, plus they look good on a bike.  These people know how to make clothes that are practical.

My latest addition is a full face, modular, helmet for really good comfort control in varied climates, like we have here in Florida, where it can be sunny and warm one minute, and cold and wet the next.  It has an inner visor which is great for blocking unwanted sunlight.  The flip up, locking, chin guard makes it easier to communicate with people as well.  It's a little thick and heavy but it's full featured.  The only thing it lacks is a heads up display with rear view camera.  It's pretty inexpensive and comes with optional built-in blue tooth.

I also have a pair of somewhat water proof, ankle length, hiking boots which, along with a rain suit, keep out most of the rain.  
This newer cfmoto  I'm fixing up has wind guards on the sides.  I am looking forward to taking it for a test drive in the cold.  It has a windshield, of course, and the seats on these cfmotos are very comfortable.  They have nice suspensions as well.  I'm pretty happy with my set up.  

Now I just have to find some better gloves.  These Mechanix Wear MPACT gloves have wrist straps, leather palms, and rubber backers that double as shield wipers.  If they had a water tight skin on them, they would be more versatile but, for twenty odd dollars, they are a real deal.

That would be a "starter" wind breaker . as in the brand name . that's where I got mine from also,lol.
Hey jersey , those hands are hard to keep warm ,lol.
