    Overheating and Detonation Warning Sighs

    Overheating and Detonation Warning Sighs

    Ok I attached a photo of my leak down tester. I will try test the motor this coming weekend. What is a good pressure to test the motor at? I read on the forum that you should test to 15psi(1bar)? Can I test up to say 3bar or is that to high? Can I cause damage with a leak down test at 3bar?

    Overheating and Detonation Warning Sighs

    I was WOT for about 15s then I ran out of road do you think that is to short? My first thought when I took a look at the plug was that it is WAY lean. Dont think the temp difference would have made it become that lean if you compare the two photos. I am not going to do anything till I can...

    Did the plug test yesterday, attached a photo of the results. The first photo is the plug test from 3 months back in the dead of summer with temps of about 35degC and the second photo is yesterdays test with temp at about 20degC. There have been no change to the jets, airbox or motor. The smoke...

    Hey Blaner I have not advanced the timing, the guy that built my motor advised against it because of the skimmed head. Will check the jetting first thing tomorrow. Dont want to destroy my motor just yet. Will check the links now thanks!

    I did not re-jet. Did not think that that sort of temp difference would effect it so much. When I lasted did a plug chop it was 35deg plus. What about the water on the fins? Thanks for the input!

    Overheating and Detonation Warning Sighs

    I was out riding my blaster today in a part of the world that is extremely sandy and a lot of it is almost like sand dunes. I was riding the quad hard and it had to work hard in the sand. It was a cool day at about 20°C. I have ridden the same track in the dead of summer about 3 months back...

    I can’t really say how they feel because I have only tested in my driveway. I have transport problems at the moment but I hope to give them a proper test next weekend. My initial impression is that the are going to be sick! Can’t wait! :D

    TRX450 vs TRX400 Rear Shock

    I want to put the Honda TRX shock in my blaster. Everybody uses the trx400 shock but is there a difference between the 450 and 400. I am asking because I can get hold of a 450 shock. Are the springs and eye to eye length the same? I would guess that the trx450 shock is a stiffer shock. Any info...
