I've been thinking about Arduino my self. Have tried using it with a diesel engine.
I still have 2 Uno rev3's and a MEGA. So I'm verry intressed in that Sketch. :wink:

And if your using a Arduino, it could be an idea to make that electric pump temperature controlled.

Have you maybe some pic's of the steeringdamper on the frame? Am working on one myself.

awesome. the arduino stuff is so much fun to mess with. we have a few projects using it and its got a great user base and tons of code out there. and yes, the temp sensor was on my mind as well. would be very easy to implement.

i don't have the bracket thats going to be welded onto the frame for the steering dampener done yet. I have to finish polishing my triple trees and get them anodized, press the stem in, then will mock up the trees to the frame so i can get my standoff measurement. It wont be anything to crazy, going to basically mount off the flat area on the front of the headstock where the cdi is on the 4 stroke is, then just have a tapered neck coming off for the upper stabilizer mount.

Got crank back today from Crankworks. they did a nice job on it. looks almost new.
Had to add a decent amount of weight to balance. I guess they use tungsten or carbide. That crap was expensive, almost used 2oz.



searching for rest of SKF Explorer bearings for cases then shes going back together.

Have you decided on your port timing yet?
I saw that some work had been done to the cylinder but I didn't see what your timing was gonna end up at.

The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

had to email tom on that one. but his reply:

The exhaust is 92.5 degrees BBDC
The scavenge is 62.5

few delays but making a bit of progress.
Bunch of Ti custom parts are in the works right now

All case bearings I've found in super nice SKF Explorer versions except for one in the Left case which I'm having to go OEM.

bout to start messing with some solidworks, here's a preview:

Thank you.
That should make a nice power curve :-)

Just wanted to say this is shaping up to be a stellar build! Amazingly clean! Can't wait to see it all come together.

Just Stunning :-o

thanks vfr, much appreciated!

here's a quick update, and iphone picture..

putting a brembo caliper on my KX A Kit forks. will have to make an adapter bracket. but 280mm Galfer tsunami ultralight + brembo caliper should slow this thing down pretty quick.
also plan on going brembo setup in the back. i have a KTM 300SX so the braking system on the ktms is kind of ok  :-D

I want some of that too.... :lol:

Oh, clutch basket?
I'd get a Hinson if you can find it and beat me too it  :wink:
If I really needed a basket right away I would get a Pro X and see how well it works.... We all need someone to step up and be a Guinea pig
