Sprocket/Gear Ratio Calculator in EXCEL

feeds@yuku.com (LDOGGYDIZZLE) — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 18:23:33 GMT

Hello guys,

I thought this would be useful for everyone to use and I'd like to share it with everyone.

The primary reduction ratio and gear ratio's that are currently plugged in (it can be changed) is a 07-08 Suzuki GSXR 1000. Just plug in your front and rear sprokets and whola, the info you would need to decide what front and rear sprokets to use.

Only change values highlighted in yellow!

BUT.... Can I post a file here?

Source for cable parts

feeds@yuku.com (Greg Piet) — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 20:22:59 GMT

So I need to make some more cables (throttle).
I am looking for sources that sell the parts to make cables... barrel ends, ferrules, elbows, etc...
I found flanders ( http://www.flanderscables.com/index.html ) but was wondering if people have other places that they suggest.
The flanders online store isn't working for me.

Thanks!

Brake system calculation web page

feeds@yuku.com (Jake Latham) — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 00:25:06 GMT

Hi all -

I've been trying to teach myself a bit about calculating the requirements of a braking system, so to help with that, I wrote up a small web page with the relevant calculations.

I took from the Sports.Racer.NET brakes .xls file, from TCE's website, an article on Stoptech's website, and a few other places.

Hopefully it will be useful to somebody, somewhere. It helped me, anyway

Where to Buy Sprockets and Chains

feeds@yuku.com (Darren Brown) — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 00:13:57 GMT

What is the best source to buy these items? I looked in a Dennis Kirk book but they only show 1 set for GSXR. Is there a place that has all the different tooth counts for the sprockets? Do you guys go to a cycle dealer for stuff like this?

Also are the two piece rear sprockets standard bike parts, or is that a custom piece?

Thanks for the help

Can anyone provide or point me to a tutorial on preload. I am interested in learning what it does, how you use, how you tune using it etc.

Much thanks for any pointers.

Fuel pickup problem.

feeds@yuku.com (NASA racer) — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 21:26:49 GMT

I have an 06 Hayabusa motor in my car and had a fuel starvation problem in a couple of circumstances. Looking for ideas.

The car has:
13.25 gallon fuel cell (foam filled) with a resivoir at the bottom (dead center)
Stock Hayabusa fuel pump in-cell with the pickup in the resivoir at the bottom of the cell (pump is rated at 23GPH @ 70PSI, car uses about 6-7GPH @ 42PSI)
Fuel runs from fuel pump to an aeromotive FPR which then runs to the fuel rail
FPR has a return line...

Great spark plug source

feeds@yuku.com (ted arken) — Sat, 11 Nov 2006 00:37:43 GMT

I just got some new iridium plugs for the zx10r from an ebay seller for a great price (at least the best I've found anyway). Just passing on a good recommendation. If this is too comercial let me know and I'll remove it.

He has other stuff besides plugs - air and oil filters. If you don't see what you're looking for send a mail to him.

Degreeing Cams

feeds@yuku.com (Geoff BrownW) — Wed, 08 Nov 2006 23:24:09 GMT

I'm in the process of installing cams in a K2 GSXR 1000. I was wondering if anyone wanted to share their experiences, or process for determining best settings for cam degreeing. I'm running the ST1 Yosh cams.

I've read lots of articles and posts on the web. And short of having an engine dyno, the plan that sounded promising was to start at the recommended lobe centers (105/105), check piston to valve clearance, then hook a compression gauge up to the motor. Spin the motor to see what...

Correct chain play?

feeds@yuku.com (REVTOM) — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 22:04:01 GMT

I'm building a street-track day car which will be similar to a Lotus 23, with Hayabusa power. The car is close to being finished, but I haven't installed chain yet. I'm using the Taylor Quaif diff, with a fairly close spaced set of sprokets, 530 chain. I will have around 10 in. of free chain between teeth, and am wondering how much total free play to adjust in, ( total pulled up-pushed down)? If this has been delt with before, I applogise. Thanks!

Good basic tire data from Goodyear, as posted on the SCCA Enterprises website. I suggest you "right click" and "save as" to your computer's hard drive.

3m 5200 Marine Sealant

feeds@yuku.com (jon staudacher) — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 18:35:54 GMT

At Mid Ohio, Barney Powers was looking for an adhesive that would stick to an air box. I asked a friend, who had some 3M 5200 Marine Sealant, to stick a piece of wood to a plastic milk jug with it. My friend reports excellent results.
