Pinned Look what the postman brought today !

I reckon, and some will disagree, that the standard air box, on a road bike that’s not going to the race track or the local racer road and run at 10 10/ths, is generally the best option. The guys at the factory knew a heap of stuff and had access to mountains of factory data. They knew that engine efficiency, maximum power, and what the bikes seat of the pants first impressions were, was a fairly complex balancing act. Getting a motor to have maximum low and mid range grunt and maximum high rpm horsepower is extremely difficult with pod filters.. also, I’ve noticed jetting requirements change markedly between a freshly oiled KnN and the same KnN once it’s done a thousand ks and becomes slightly more porous. It’s also highly unlikely pods are as efficient at filtering dirt as a sealed, filtered air box. The upside of pod filters is they can give slightly more top end power. They also make carburettor removal way easier which is just as well as they are going to come off a heap of times getting jetting even close to perfect.

 

Hi to all.
My new fuel line and 2 x clamp's have arrived. The clamp's are very small , measuring I.D 6.81mm. The new clamp's have a lot of tension on them though , so will see what happen's when there fitted. I may still leave the drip container under the carb's just to make sure.I really don't want any more damage paint work. Went through a box of tissue's on the last fuel leak , so i don't want any more.

 

Yep, needs a bit of a clean.

 

Ahhhhhgggghg!!!!!!! Ordered some Spada needle n seats from Melbourne on the 1/7/2020...... Aus post lost them..... tracking still saying they are “delayed” !!!!! Launched an enquiry , They arrived yesterday..... tracking still saying they are delayed..... Suppose I should just be happy they have arrived.

 

That is DHL e-commerce, what I use for most orders. DHL Express still run to the usual 4-7 days.

 

I recently bought a couple of bearings from Florida, 2 weeks & I had 'em in my quarantine station
2 days later, the online tracking said they had arrived in Sydney, the weakest link regarding international shipping, is Aust Post

 

x 8 = happyness

 

I've seen them for sale, curious to know how they go? The cable linking will be tricky.

 

Life was never meant to be easy, the plan is to make an adjustable linkage system, & piss off the internal return springs (could you imagine one wrist winning an argument with 8 return springs ?)
Yeah My67xr, that'll almost be as much fun as sorting out methanol jetting, with boost

 

Australia post told me when I was chasing down a missing package from the USA that had supposedly arrived at Kingsford Smith Airport weeks prior, that UPS uses a version of tracking called "predictive tracking" and this means UPS has a guess as to where the parcel should be, not where it actually is. I find this unbelievable as it implies scanning is not part of UPS tracking procedures. Meanwhile the parcel delivered via Australia Post that arrived to me Monday still comes up on Australia Post tracking as "delayed" and not yet delivered.
