Wow, someone is agreeing with me instead of making fun of my perfect percent 100 gramar, speling. stuff.
I have talked to a few people and thought about it a little bit, and I have come to a new conclusion. High RPMs should be fun, but only for short periods. Heat doesn't just suddenly appear, it builds up. The heat may build up only in specific places that have yet to break in, meaning that you won't see the temperature gauge jump up suddenly when you hit the throttle, so don't use that as in indicator. Instead, play it safe and keep the bursts of acceleration short (5-20 seconds) and do not cruise at high speeds for the first 30 miles or so like I did. 2,250 miles and the bike is running perfectly and burning no oil, even during sustained periods of 8-10 thousand RPMs when I am struggling to keep up with the big boys. It is just a baby ninja!
Feel free to prove me wrong and correct my grammur. |
I had a radio transmitter that was rated for 100watts , but only bursts. If you wanted to transmit continuously it was rated for only 50 watts and only for 1 hour (or something along those lines). When I was a kid I flew 2 stroke helicopters and my mentor always told me to tune the engine for max power, then back off the needle jet a few notches. The reason is that helicopter engines are under a more constant load compared to a fixed wing, which get some of their lift from the wings. The idea was to always have reliable power rather than peak-maxium power which could lean out during the hot summer, or when you got a tiny bit of trash in the gas lines blocking off some fuel, etc.
