General Discussion / Re: Quickshifter for V85?« Last post by Huzo on Today at 04:30:59 AM »Ok guys, because of the Pacific Ocean, I can’t sit at the same table at the same time and watch y’all duck for cover, so I have no option but to leave it there.
However you are still answering the question I did not pose, because you all had the answer ready that you wanted to give. You think I am asking how to get a good clutchless shifts, I do it for a living in 16 litre turbo diesel Kenworths with Eaton Fuller non synchro ‘boxes. Do you think I do not know how to change without the clutch ? The phenomenal advances that have been made in metallurgy and gearbox design, has allowed you to be an unadulterated butcher to your gearbox and can do so with minimal repurcussions to your wallet. Go ahead and continue to abuse your gearbox and sell it before you have to face the consequences of your mechanical non sympathy and have a good day. 5

That’s how I read it anyway. I always figure scheduled times are local times at the event, regardless of my time zone. I had it listed as 1130 eastern which was my mistake. It is at 1230 eastern and I agree it should always be what that local time zone is but people get confused sometimes. Anyways it’s at 1230eastern time zone! I got my furnace working!!! Woo hoo 7

Minimum 80mm? Yep, that’s right. I got the information from this book https://www.ebay.com/itm/177555593782 They did a lot of testing on a 500cc one cylinder so it is relevant to a Guzzi. Another thing I remember from it is that the exhaust box, or muffler should be ten times the volume of the cylinders, mostly only possible on a stationary engine. 9

Stay warm tonight Bob. A small portable Mr. Heater should be readily available at WalMart. 10

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. https://youtu.be/H9AfflC2yRE?si=m30TlPbeNDeQncSp 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. https://youtu.be/H9AfflC2yRE?si=m30TlPbeNDeQncSp |
