General Two Stroke Talk / Honda AR PDI Two Strokes
« on: August 06, 2013, 03:49:27 PM »
I admire Honda for the effort they put into these two stroke designs but I sometimes question the "direction" Honda has taken. If we look at the Vtech 4T platforms you have to appreciate the complexity but a similarly sized turbocharged motor achieves more with less. With that in mind, if you were a small start up 2T manufacturer would you design a powerplant using Honda's technology or try something similar to the Skidoo/Rotax DI system? My money would be on the DI, once again you achieve more with less.

P.S. Please note that, due to centuries of intermarriage, there are no pure sasquatchs left in the atlantic region of Canada.

You'd be amazed at how many Americans have a Canadian connection in their background. Some American guys I know:
Bill - works for a Canadian company.
Dennis - married to a Canadian.
Rick - French Canadian background.
DVK - both grandmothers Canadian. ;D

We need some 21st century DI two strokes.

Hey Foghorn, are you ditching those Fords as soon as they come off warranty? ;)

Seriously, I had a Ford 6.0 let go and it wasn't cheap to fix. The new 6.7 was engineered by an Austrian design firm and I wonder how they are standing up?

I picked up a 96 F250 4x4 5 speed extra cab. I needed something to haul wood, water and a camper (with a trailer and bikes ;D) and I've really come to like the truck. I chose an older truck for better fuel economy, bio diesel compatibility and the fact that All of my friends and brother have had serious reliability issues with their newer diesel trucks.

Examine your cases very carefully in the crankcase area as well. That piece of piston skirt may have become trapped between the con rod big end and the cases.

I just picked up a 7.3 Powerstroke with a few mods (chip, exhaust and intake). Tons of power and still better fuel economy than my F150 4.6 gas!

I remember one insanely slick cross country race where I had to push my Maico up almost every slick hill that I couldn't find a way around. When I finished the race there wasn't a drop of coolant left in the bike. I've also ridden 4T$ in muddy conditions where the 4T wouldn't hook up but a 2T would. Which leads me to my next question - how well was that Zero finding traction?

I agree that the Zero rider was probably just cherry picking. While all the "C's" were waiting for bottle necks he just rode around them.

Why is the guy using an 85 CR? The 86 thru. 88's were soooo much nicer.

What I can't get over is that these electric motorcycles sound identical to my son's electric ATV that he had from ages 2 to 5.
