    A Labor of Love; aka building a Rocket III Speedster

    There turns out to be a significant disagreement on what takes space between the oil tank and the actuator with this configuration. There are many ways to settle the dispute, I've been mulling over which solutio to use and I think I've decided to flip the actuator so it sits ahead of the TB...

    Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

    Honestly, it's not that difficult if you have tools, space, and some time. Just follow the manual, pull the engine, split the cases, and pull the trans out. Ship the whole input/output shafts to Robinson Industries and they'll ship back fully assembled input/output shafts that just drop in. My...

    A Labor of Love; aka building a Rocket III Speedster

    Things have arrived, early even. Send cut send is absolutely over the top on professionalism. Not a hobbiest feel at all, straight big business feel, very impressed (plus sour patch kids packet in the box, a sure way to win me over). Tolerances were phenomenal, deburring was great, not a...

    Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

    Depends on you're risk tolerance. If it will bug you knowing the 3rd gear circlip can dislodge at any moment, causing simultaneous engagement and carnage of 3rd and 4th gears whilst creating a risk of rear tire lockup while moving and creating a potentially fatal accident, then yeah, upgrade...

    Can cheaper, Chinese-built machinery hold a candle to more expensive European metal?

    Yuck. I'd stop riding forever if a red bike was my only option.

    A Labor of Love; aka building a Rocket III Speedster

    Actuator hardware arrived today. Quality stuff, especially for the price, bracket should be here early next week for the final assembly / validation of fitment of the eThrottle assembly conversion. Will need two washers per heim and longer screws, but otherwise, it seems like all the right...

    fellow roadster owners-

    That is exactly the symptom I had, middle finger and thumb acting up. I was 38 when I identified it, and I had (at the time) very high grip strength. For me, it was the prolonged time holding 1 level of grip force in the same position for a long time + vibraation. My H2 doesn't have the same...

    Most certainly has value, yes, particularly on high rpm build R3s and forced induction R3s. Specifically, and I didn't say it, what I had in mind was a sort of "kit" people could order up and load a prebuilt file into the ECU, then let it do it's short term/long term trims and correct fueling...

    A Labor of Love; aka building a Rocket III Speedster

    When I've validated everything I can easily post the drawings for others. A much cheaper ECU can be substituted as well. Really, I'm making it harder than required by a lot. The easiest way is just use all the stock sensors and gauges with an ethrottle conversion running on a Maxx Sport ECU...

    A Labor of Love; aka building a Rocket III Speedster

    Sendcutsend is pretty awesome. Downloaded Fusion360 and sketched up some brackets today. The boxy bracket will hang the actuator and once bolted up, get connected by alumiweld or TIG welding. to the actuator as insurance. The round 3 screw ring is two per throttle. One side gets welded to the...

    pressure vs tps for power commander v

    A very important point I completely overlooked, thanks for adding that.

    pressure vs tps for power commander v

    Disclaimer.. I'm not quite sober so if this makes no sense speak up hah. The short and lazy version - shoot for 13: 1 everywhere and ignore the 1 second of data in the log after significant throttle openings during acceleration enrichment period. Grab a tune file that's from a bike that has...

    pressure vs tps for power commander v

    The ECU O2 is a narrow band, it alternates back forth across the set point the ECU is calibrated for, which is somewhere near Stoic, or 1.0 lambda. It has no ability to tune to any AFR other than stoic. That one should be off, on newer ECUs they can trim to target like you want it to do, but...

    pressure vs tps for power commander v

    The short version: F/L to all zero is indeed, how you go pure Alpha-N (tps/rpm). Changing AFR table does nothing to fix the issue you're having. Big cam exacerbates the ITB issue, you'll want a low F/L switch if not zeroing the whole table. It can be tuned to be very polite with big cam on F/L...

    Destinations / must see roads and stops

    Going down that on Mufasa was a serious pucker moment... Bike that hates low RPM, heavy clutch, high idle, just a touch sketchy but glad I did it :P The view there is awesome and the road above it was pretty fun too (they had just repaved it when I passed through).
