I've just been alerted by a buddy that Yahoo has just made a change to everybody "marketing preferences" - the result of which could be an enormous load of...
i'm assuming that the buell OEM spark plug wires are carbon-type. if that's the case, how long can they be expected to last before they break down enough to...
does anybody know the flow rate for the fuel injectors used in fuelie buells? i'm specifically interested in the 2001 S3, but any information would be handy --...
Do you have an Ohmeter, they are carbon, the test specs are 1625-3796 Ohms for 6.5 inch cable and 5000-11680 for 20 inch cable. As a matter of pracice, I...
thanks for the info. had i actually bothered to check my FM before posting, i would have noticed the info right there in front of me! grendel's at about 12000...
I am kicking around the idea of venting the case to alleviate the pressure. Figuring that if the case does not build up pressure, the piston will have an...

there's actually a bit of controversy over that very subject. it's true that if the case pressure is lowered, the piston travels easier, but the trouble is how...
If you decide to change your wires, check into a set made by Nology. They're expensive but I've never imagined that it's possible to feel the power gain by ...
where have you sseen these wires. or where can they be bought from? ... From: gene apodaca [mailto:gene_apodaca@...] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002...

Good site Wolf. So it seems up in the air as for the amount of help it may or may not give on performance. But it seems to be a given that it would reduce...

I learned about the wires accidentally while looking for high performance spark plugs. I talked to the sales rep from Nology who sold me a set of their plugs ...
are those the nology hot wires? i'm a little wary of capacitor-type wires, especially on an electronic-ignition engine. capacitor wires change the spark...
Yes they are. I have talked to them and they are and they do loose some wattage which means a slightly smaller gap seems to be in order. A TM plug could be a ...

Well if you us a resister plug with these wires, then you are loosing some of their advantage. You are cutting their output which is their claim to fame. Why...

some more data for everyone to digest: *) at 5000RPM, the engine is turning over 83 times per second. that means that one degree of revolution takes about...
My stock Cyl #2 plug wire wore thru the insulation where it passes thru the guide, causing rough idle and bad vibration thru the full rev range at 18,000 km....
yeah, i just checked my wires' resistance today, and i discovered that the rear wire had some sort of divot in it near the boot. it's not touching anything...
These original wires passed the ohmmeter test easily. Even though the insulation was worn right thru. The real test of a wire is when thousands of volts are...
I've installed Krankvents on both my 2001 S3 and my 104" Ultra. I can't tell if it did anything on the Buell as I still got the infamous rocker box leak, but I...
Yes, we're talking about the Nology Hot Wires. It's true that the resistor plugs do cause a slightly lower output than the nonresistor types and it's a shame ...

the main drawback to 4-valve heads, as i understand it, is that in an air-cooled engine, the heads become very crowded with the extra valves and their...
How about using a fan - ala - the xb9r - and still if the heads were P&P'ed and given a 3 angled valve job wouldn't that clean up alot of the shrouding? -...
The air-cooled 4 valve heads on most of the jap bikes I have owned have not overheated! Now the valve shrouding I refer to occurs when the valve is too close ...
