How many seconds would an angle grinder take to cut it?

What I got is the original tach for '87 CBR600. I don't see
a cable, so I assume it is electronic. The needle does
nothing whatsoever when I test per above.

Is the result above from a '87 CBR600? Some later year?

  tach' question         


Author: paul c
Date: Aug 28, 2008 18:55

More or less out of curiousity I put an inductive tach (Fluke) on
friend's '82 CB750 today. #3 cylinder has been warming up slowly lately
even after thorough carb clean and sync last year and recent re-sync.
coil resistance seems okay, at least for a cold engine - both coils
around 2.4 and 12K ohms.

What I can't figure out are odd readings on #3 and #4 cylinders. #3 is
consistently reading about 3 times what the bike's mechanical analog
tach shows and #4 about double the bike's tach. Whereas #1 and #2 agree
more or less with the bike's tach! Re-tried about half a dozen times on
all four plug wires with the same result. Any ideas as to why?

(just in case anybody's wondering, from left-to-right, the coil wires
got to plugs 1,4,2,3).

  O.T. - Power Adapter in UK Vehicles         


Author: no_one
Date: Aug 24, 2008 17:33

I apologize for the Off Topic post but I know that some of you ride and live
in the UK. I am going to England, Wales and Ireland soon and wanted to know
if the cell phone charger that I have for US cars (fits in the cigarette
lighter) will work in the rentals that we will get on our trip. I have a
wall adapter and a power converter for UK but would like to know if the car
adapter is compatible.

I know that in the past the British cars had a positive ground power system
but I assume that today with the cars being sold all over that things might
have standardized in the last 30 years.

TIA

  HEY, I'LL EVEN MAKE IT SIMPLER. JUST O-N-E LITTLE QUESTION SO AS NOT TO OVERLOAD THE TINY MIND OF TOG IF HE DECIDES TO PIPE IN WITH HIS USUAL LACK OF KNOWLEDGE.

On the TW200 I thinking of buying, I understand it comes with a stock
50 rear sprocket.

What will be the performance results of changing the rear sprocket to
a 47 or a 42?

By performance results I mean mpg, shift points, higher speed and
quieter engine operation, and any other aspects of ON-ROAD RIDING.

Okay, here's the simple format for the simple-minded.

Bill, if you change the rear sprocket from a 50 to a 47, the following
performance features will be altered.

1.

2.

  ****STILL WAITING, ARE THERE ANY "REAL" TECHS OUT THERE?

Here's my original post and two of the specific questions I asked.

Let's try these several more times and see if anyone in this group can
provide SPECIFIC ANSWERS TO THESE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS without
wandering off into the wilderness and yakking about master links and
any other subject to avoid simply providing the SPECIFIC ANSWERS TO
THESE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.

On the TW200 I thinking of buying, I understand it comes with a stock
14 front sprocket and a stock 50 or 52 rear. And since I've clearly
stated many times that its use will primarily be ON-ROAD, I intend to
switch out the tires to the TW203 and TW204 plus perhaps some sprocket
changes.

1--What will be the performance results of changing the front to a 15
or even a 12?

--What will be the performance results of changing the rear to a 47
or a 42 or even a 55?

By performance results I mean mpg, shift points, higher speed and
quieter engine operation, and any other aspects of ON-ROAD RIDING.
