General Discussion / Re: Quickshifter for V85?

No one has to tell you.  just was the first 5 minutes of this video and he will show you clutchless upshifts on a V85TT. Both hand in the shot so you can actually see and hear what he is doing. Worry about downshifts later.

ps, there's a yamaha scr950 sitting in my collection that has a bad second gear.  Note for son, It's not made for wheelies in second gear.  So I completely get why you have the questions you do. The torque on a driveline is no joke, but a 3-500 rpm difference when there is no stress on the drivetrain is no where near the limit.  Reving the motor up some and releasing the clutch loads a bunch of torque on the driveline. As you said there are springs on the clutch and there are cushions in the final drive.  the dog gears engage with the same force of speed difference when unloaded. clutch or throttle is no difference on the gears.

Rough as guts, just a toss fest that proved nothing. I’ve seen more interesting self gratification videos on Porn Hub…
I really like the “silent change” technique demonstrated, that sounded like a claw hammer being belted on the inside of the gearbox housing, just a pig ignorant moron.

yep, you never fire a coil without it being attached to a plug that grounded or a grounding wire

May i ask what ignition system are you running?

I see the points housing and dyna (?) coils but no idea what drives them

Whats the history of the problem? meaning, same setup has run good before and then didnt or you are sorting it out now?

what color do the plugs have?

I found I can open it all on my PC, but not on mobile devices like my tablet.

I don’t even know my membership username or password and if I’m a member anymore or not.  Probably won’t renew my membership.

FWIW: I'm using Consumer Cellular. With tax and all about $24 a month. Uses AT&T network and may still use T-Mobile? I only needed ONE phone, most $50 unlimited plans are 2 phones at $50 each. I didn't NEED unlimited data and only ONE line. Consumer was the best value at the time. Unlimited text and talk but limited to 1GB data a month was their cheapest plan. But, they have tiered plans, so if you went over your data instead of some high per MB usage fee, they bump you to the next plan for about $10, then if you exceed that, they bump up again. You do have to call them to get your plan back to the cheap plan, if not they keep you on the higher GB plan. If you need unlimited for ONE line, it's about $50, at the time most were about $75 and up.

Hope this may help some. Not trying to push CC, just happy with them.

General Discussion / Re: Heidenau Tire Opinion

« Last post by Tom H on December 06, 2025, 05:26:54 PM »

FWIW: 110/90-18 is basically the width of a 4.0-18, but shorter sidewall. A 110/100 or 110/90-18 would be very close to the 4.0. 120/90-18 is basically the sidewall of the 4.0, but about a 4.25-18.

I had been running the Bridgestone S11's on my Loops until they discoe'd them. I would run the Shinko 712, but they don't make a 110/90 front. I am trying the Kenda K657 (Shinko 712 knockoff) rear on my Loops, so far so good, but no idea yet mileage wise. I need to change my front tires and the K657 is only a 100/90 and I'm not thrilled with the tread pattern for the font, rear is fine. I plan to go with the Kenda K673 which is a cross between tread pattern knock off off a D404 and Shinko SR733.

Just some thoughts,
Tom
