Re: TV rod length- any theories?

I always thought/read somewhere that the common crank in the S1-3 had roots in design with the C, D ranges etc and that could be the reason for the 107 conrod length. :?

Re: Add On Box - Augusto Unit - Varitronic System

6000 one for me for me - Stage 4 ( SIL), Yam 110 rod, lighter piston, Mikuni 24mm, Af Clubman and Li 125 gearbox 18X47. Nearly went for the 7000 but was recommended the 6000. The science looks good and it will hopefully make a smooth, economic and reasonable quick engine.

Fork Buffer Position

Re: 110 Yam Rod on a SIL 200

Thanks very much for the feedback.

Which would you compromise the better squish or the lower port timings?
