    I know about this bike. The last three owners died mysteriously. They say the bike is cursed.

    That's true plus it's a 4th Gen technology and that means a carburetor so it's never going to be as tunable as my 5th Gen with the Euro ECU G (that must be T.U.V. Certified ?). The truth be told the Euro ECU G runs incredible with the PC3 Euro fuel map and the PiperCross Air Filter. ��

    That's true plus it's a 4th Gen technology and that means a carburetor so it's never going to be as tunable as my 5th Gen with the Euro ECU G (that must be T.U.V. Certified ?). The truth be told the Euro ECU G runs incredible with the PC3 Euro fuel map and the PiperCross Air Filter. This combined with the "second snorkel" airbox optimizes power. Some people think more is is better(and they open up their airbox) but that's just not the case because the airbox is designed to also provide sufficient "air pressure" here is some F1 information regarding the purpose of the airbox


    Why is the air system so important for car performance?
    Air – or rather oxygen – is an essential part of the combustion process and having enough airflow at maximum possible pressure will maximize the amount of torque produced. Delivering this optimum therefore depends on the constituent parts of the system. Firstly, the shape of the airbox governs how much air can be taken into the engine unit. If the inlet is too small, the engine will be ‘starved’ of air and therefore produce less power. If it is too large, however, the engine will not be more efficient on a linear scale – more air does not mean more power; exactly the correct amount must be introduced. This relates back to trying to try to keep the total pressure as high as possible. To achieve this we need to keep as much dynamic pressure created from the car speed as possible. This is of course a compromise with the adverse effect on the aerodynamics of having a giant airbox, which would create turbulence for the rear wing so we look to the airbox to keep as high a percentage of dynamic pressure as we can.

    Decided to pass on the 4th Gen for a variety of reasons.

    What's the general concensus on the RC51 ?

    This no reserve auction ends in a few hours (there is only one bidder because the seller did not list it very well)


    Look at this on eBay:

    This whole Dyno thing, in my opinion, is somewhat of a crock because there are no standards and the readings will vary for a variety of reasons, (mostly adjusting and setting the "weighting" of the variables) so I have not made it the highest priority. I am favoring taking it to a FactoryPro.com location

    Having made a very good living understanding interfacing and interacting with computers and technology, skeptism is the beginning of awareness

    Surprisingly, or perhaps not, I can only find one post by yourself out-with this thread.
    Don't you agree that is unusual, would you not expect a bona fide enthusiast to be participating across the forum?
    Of course there could be reasons. Perhaps you have OCD, a limited attention span, a lack of imagination, or perhaps you don't interface with computers quite as well as you think?
    My money though is on the simple answer, just another sad little nobody with nothing better in their life than crap like this.

    If in the pix you chose to post of your surroundings, the living you claim to have made (past tense?) was not all that great. I would submit possibly that interpersonal relationships hindered any genuine chance of advancement to a higher rate of compensation or you are just batshit crazy and have pictures of Howard Hughes in your wallet and walls.

    This is very good, you've moved on from being overlay critical, nagging or whining about subject matter, to location, so it's no longer what's being said it's where it's being said, again, very good, that's fine and I totally understand and appreciate you concerns about my whatever

    I have an old air compressor and I want to change the oil. Should I dyno it before and after? Should I use synthetic, or Dino oil?
