    braking in a turn

    Thanks guys! You're welcome and thanks christianmb, I've always found the theory easy, doing it well with rubber on the road is much harder - and more fun :) Sounds like a great day coolhandgarreth!

    braking in a turn

    Yes Lightning, you were right, I just had to get long-winded about it and talk about the weight transfer, which is a very important factor in cornering :-)

    braking in a turn

    The COF remains the same regardless of the direction the forces are applied, with the exception of forces which press the tire down or lift it up, which is why spoilers work to increase traction. For a given weight on a tire the resultant of the forces applied to the tire must be less than the...

    Hello Roman! You're welcome, sorry I couldn't be of more help on your tanny problem. I shop around and find which of the companies listed below have the best price & delivery on the parts I need.  I have never had to look for transmission parts, so don't know if these folks can help or not...

    snrusnak mod thread

    Hey snrusnak, catching up on posts on the forum and saw your build thread. Glad you decided to put one together, it is very interesting and the bike looks awesome! Some good tips here if I ever decide or need to redo my front end. Been putting some odds & ends on mine, new shift & brake...

    Greetings to all! I am a new forum member.

    Hi Roman, I was looking at the pictures of your gears some more last night and doing some reading in the manual for my 2004 XB12R. I noticed, I which hadn't before, that the corners are really worn/damaged on the gear lugs or dogs. This could prevent the gears from engaging properly or...

    Greetings to all! I am a new forum member.

    Sorry Roman, I forgot to answer your question about Buellster parts. If they had that gearbox in stock and I needed one I'd buy it, for $175 you can't go too far wrong. The gears look in better condition than your and at worst you might be able to mix and match parts and get a good...

    Greetings to all! I am a new forum member.

    Hi Roman, Thanks for the pictures, that is a very interesting and impressive build thread! I've been looking at the pictures you posted of your gearbox parts and trying to understand the translation of the symptoms you experienced. I confess that I do not understand all that you are trying to...

    Greetings to all! I am a new forum member.

    Hello Roman, I am sorry to hear about your transmission and engine problems. These motorcycles have different transmissions than Japanese motorcycles, one must shift a little slower and more deliberately. There is also less need to shift due to the low and mid-range torque. There have been...

    Greetings to all! I am a new forum member.

    Hello Roman, I've been thinking about your double wall insulated header idea, and apart from the fact that it is a neat, though difficult, technical feature, I'm not sure what the benefit would be, other than from a marketing perspective. I don't think the system would give you much better...

    Possible common problem

    Thanks for the heads up on that. I will make a point to keep an eye on it.

    I'm dumb, dropped my bike today

    Yep, been there, done that and got the T-shirt to prove it :-) Lately I dropped the XB the first day I had it, as I was unloading from the back of my truck, by myself (no one else around). It was a black 5:00 AM and raining and just as I got the back wheel near to the bottom of the ramp it...

    Greetings to all! I am a new forum member.

    Makes sense Roman, build hi-tech concept bikes to lear the technology and processes, plus it is fun. Yes titanium is an excellent metal to build frames and other parts with once you master the techniques. Your idea of double walled insulated exhaust pipes is intriguing, must think about it...
