2 Strokes Down Under

Understood Hybrid. Cheers man, I'd still love to give it a crack. PS love your YZR500 Replica. Beautiful colour scheme aswell.

I wasn't trying to ruffle feathers I love talking with better minds. 2Tinstitute has the best job in the world.

2 strokes are not 4 strokes. Before you start banging on about jet ski's and sleds, jet ski's are on or off the throttle and sleds have a CVT which means they are never at part throttle or off the pipe.Just like a boat. Direct injection won't go over about 9000 rpm. I don't think you have a accurat...

That's correct for a current exhaust port and intake port as it is in a 2 stroke cylinder. If you could lower the Exhaust port closer to the crank shaft, meaning that the expanding fuel doesn't discharge til almost the end of the stroke and then once it is expelled and piston is on its way up past t...

Why not mate, they have fuel injected 4 strokes. Why can't that technology be put across and a separate lubrication system be employed for the moving parts?

Completely agree there guys. Not only on Snowmobiles but also Marine outboards. I don't know why they couldn't just seal off the intake track from the induction to the crankcase, and the crankcase to the inlet port. Have two separate injectors, one that sprays a mixed fuel at the crank and piston fr...

You might be surprised how good a well sorted RGV250 or RS250 will compare to more modern bikes. Yes, your top end rebuilds are fairly straightforward, no cams / valves, etc. to worry about :-) Also, they are now becoming unique and collectable. Without a doubt, my dream bike is actually a Honda RS...

Cheers Markus,

I've always been a massive fan of strokers, I've ridden a few. They don't come close to overall performance of the modern Superbike, but the feeling of thrust and sheer excitement in riding a stroker is too damn exciting, plus they are generally easy to fix.

Gday lads, I've been watching this forum for awhile and thought I'd register. My name is Liam (obviously) and I'm an avid motorcycling enthusiast. Alas I have not owned a 2T road bike however, I had and still do have a desire to custom build my own NSR500 in coming years, siamesing two NSR250's toge...
