nothing can go as bad as the 840 poo release went, they are still having crank problems

Black tunnel, will it be painted or carbon fibre? Will covid slow down tooling up for all the new stuff? You guys see the pic of the new gage yet? How big will the new engine be? How much will it weigh? What will the poo croo do when cat comes with a bigger engine, their 840 doesn't run with cats 800

I'm all for standing around, bullshitting and drinking beer with sledders, and its a fun time. Its nowhere near as fun since they moved it, used to be an amazing party, guys would bring buses, race trailers with viewing decks on top, put up tents with smokers etc Getting too to old be standing in the rain

that's it

weather forecast is almost 40 and rain.

Was planning on going, but not sure if I'll be there or not this year.

AFIK they haven't built any 600s besides the race sleds, all the ones we have coming are scheduled to be built in Jan

Hook, Line, and sinker AC is running the heaviest version turbo, with eps and atac suspension, an 800 RR with stiff suspension that doesn't transfer, and no 600 because they wont let them run an RXC. mach made a surprisingly good pull on the dyno, still down about 15 from the average 998 turbo, but closer than expected.

I didn't go through the work to make a grunt tool, to see what is under that cloverleaf shaped nut the spider bolts to, but ASSUME you can either shim it, or shim between it and the spider. If you shim between it and the spider, I wouldn't go crazy, and a lot of shim would put all the torque on the bolts, where most of it now is carried by the fit of the spider around the outside of that piece. Pic of the casting mark. Anyone recognize this logo?

IMO the team clutches are junk. There is a design failure that causes heat build up and cracking. If you have one keep a close eye on the base of both sheaves. I've got a friend who's 998 launched pieces of one into low earth orbit, and some into the ground. Clutch was less than a year old. ADAPT primary is currently made in 30mm and 33mm, so once weights and springs become more available it should be able to work on most everything besides the 1000 twin, and 1100 turbo

Better late than never, I finally got my hands on one to check out. Honestly the castings and machine work are beautiful. Here are a couple pictures with my guess to how it works. The water marks are my little fuck you to VS. Cover off, spring out shows the bolts holding the spider on, and holes that the weights come through Plastic washer that spring cover hits at full shift, to keep sheaves from wearing on each other Spider off, shows the snap ring that the plastic washer rests on, and the steel nut that retains the idler bearing, and gives the spider a place to bolt to Closer view of the spider, the buttons are in their own little carrier, that rides on a pin, retained by a roll pin Bottom view of the spider, the carrier for the buttons is free to move on its pin, and the rollers are easily changed by removing a small retaining screw And a close up of the moveable sheave showing the casting rib that the weight notch goes around The weight, washers, retaining screw, and pin. The bushing, and roller surface are quite wide. Notice the notch to clear a rib in the moveable sheave. This clutch is off an 800, and runs a 66g weight. The pivot pin is further from the crankshaft, allowing a lighter weight to apply the required force.

any former mod/admin in this thread not give me a vacation besides Z?

what the fuck, is
