God bless him. Power Secrets is one of my favourite books. It might be time to read about his long connecting rod theories again.

This topic could support another thread for me. I love how he had figured out that a 6" rod and a 1.72:1 rod/stroke ratio could rev to the moon and not come apart. The early SBC 302 was closer to 1.90:1, but I seem to remember that was pushing things too far.
Sorry for the threadjack.

this is nearly impossible where I live. I would be as much of a road hazard as the cyclists and I can't get 2 miles form my house before being on 55mph roads.

never had a problem with mototune method of break in on cars, I've never personally met anyone who had the patience to follow a factory recommended break in and doubt most used bikes had it followed either.
for the TT it will probably be broken in similar to described here. -with fresh oil, on and off the throttle accelerating and engine braking getting incrementally harder on the throttle and higher into the rpm. -cool down, then spend a couple hours at lower speeds riding off road. -then cool down oil change and hit the roads like I normally would, just no long distance endurance runs on the highway for a while. 20 minutes here and there should provide some good heat cycling. while commuting to work, but its going to have to deal with speeds over 55 for about 10-15 minutes at a time.

Not true! The Tao Motor TBR7 comes with "shipping oil" that is NOT supposed to be used WHATSOEVER, according to the Manual. Should be drained and replaced with real oil.

Dude, you're replying to a thread that's over 5 years old. Who knows what the manual said back then. I know you're excited, but you don't need to take up the entire first page of the forum. |
