General Two Stroke Talk / Honda AR PDI Two Strokes

I think weight and extra cost concerns are whats holding back injected 2T. An extra kilo or two of weight plus the whole mystery surrounding fuel injection and the fear it puts in most people. I would love to see direct injection introduced on all bike motors, from MotoGP down to 50cc fun bikes. Development of smaller and lighter components will only come through R&D but govening bodies need to change the rules to allow direct injection to be used in racing. I have been looking at whether or not I could fit an injector into the head of my DRZ. I have CAD models of several of my employers engines which have direct injection and believe it may be possible. The hard part will be setting injector timing. It's still on the one day list.

I often wonder how much better guys like Gary would have done if they had gotten the same level of support in terms of tyres at the time. He won races on a bike that was not the fastest out there.

It's an interesting design but the forced air induction make the bikes illegal to race. Although Honda have a way of getting thier own way nearly all of the time...

There's an American company Ecotrons that sell EFI fits for bikes and other small engines. They have a 2T kit which run two injectors in front of the throttle body. I look at them once a month or so and think....?

I should engage my brain a little better before I bash the key board, I was refering to how much extra power is sapped in wet or sandy conditions and how much that could affect battery life and the bike being able to complete a long moto race.

Technical / Power Valve Bolt Keeps Loosening

If you can, run a tap down the hole to help clean the threads thouroughly, then medium strength loctite will hold it in place.

He's not sorry, he was told to appologise to try and save face. The speach was crap. I just hope the AMA keep up with the ban and fines.

Would one of these bike complete a full 30+ minute moto? What if it's wet? There was a photo floating around a while ago with an electric bike being charged by a petrol gennie. The day they complete a race like Erzberg or even better Romaniacs I might start to take electic bikes seriously. At this years Isle of Mann TT they were crapping on about how fast the evolution of the electic bikes are coming but they only race over one lap, not four or six like all of the other races.
