    One more parameter for your tests is the production date of the tire......it is very important ! I got a tire that was new but was 7 years old...and it chunked knobs off in the first hour on terrain with very few rocks ! I have never experienced this before on several of the same tire . This new 7 year old tire lasted 5 hours with 14 knobs tore off ! Get tires within 1 year of production and there should be great performance.

  • @unbelievablegoodio7176
    @unbelievablegoodio7176 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Now that is quite a disappointing look at the things. The diagrams are very nice to compare and that part was done properly. But what is not considered at all is the power you get at the rear wheel. It is simple to understand that a race is keeping a certain (best) speed over the course. That means real wheel rpm and torque. I never knew that 2 strokes are of such a short rev band compared to the 4 strokes. So what is here not considered is this: For the same rpm of the rear wheel has the 4 stroke obviously an advantage in the higher rev band, the gear ratio can be shorter for the same wheel rpm and similar good torque. That shorter transmission balances than up a lot, and in the end is clear why the 4 stroke drives better, large rev band, and in the end as fast as a 2 stroke. While simply easier to handle. I have never heard that anyone would take a low rpm high torque engine over a higher rpm lower torque engine when it comes to performance, where you can let the engine rev. Only where revving the engine is not good, like a long hill up with increasing steepness and limited traction, there you wish an engine which can rev high above the max torque point and has so a long way to go without shifting a gear down. The 4 stroke makes that much easier. That is as I see now the reason why nobody looks at 2 strokes anymore. They only appear to be brutal in short gears, but when it comes to power on the rear wheel at any speed, the four stroke is better. Just get the gearbox right. Before seeing this video I watched a Honda 450 compared to the its 500cc 2 stroke equivalent video (Tomasin). Shockingly the 450 was faster on the track, although the 2 stroke supposed to produce MUCH more power. The point is, in this machine is the gearbox identical taken from the 450. Well, that's a nogo. They cannot be identical due to the rev band difference. I guess the 2 stroke needs a longer transmission ratio and closer steps between the gears, plus plenty shifting gears to keep it in the best range. Over-rev no way, only shifting up. That's what I see in these curves.

    • @villiamo3861
      @villiamo3861 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think it's an excellent video, but yes it does miss-out on the gearing component, which is crucial. However, equally I think you might underestimate what can be done the other way with a two-smoke: as I know you well recognise, a gearbox is a torque multiplier - but it can reduce as well. If the two (say a 300) makes more power at all rpm than its competitor until it drops markedly, then you can afford to lengthen the gearing, and so flatten (and effectively lengthen) the power curve. I know you wouldn't, but half the teeth on the rear sprocket would reduce the torque at the rear wheel very unmysteriously by exactly half and (were drag etc not a factor) exactly double the top end speed, which one might find useful. (I recognise you do have to get there, but again I am not talking about starting with a 100-rpm powerband engine.) It's why I don't really like to see engine torque talked about as though it were the torque that you feel - generally people mean low end tug from the seat, which is very connected with gearing; if you're producing enough hp over a reasonable-iah span, that's the crucial thing as hp tells you the potential work-done-rate, and then gearing can give you all the low end tug and more that a lesser hp'd bike could with optimal gearing. Finally, of course, even if, as with the 300 2 compared to the 450 4, you're actually not producing more hp, but you can nevertheless potentially be lighter, then there may be life in the old dog yet.

    I was born in So CA and like you, rode a variety of Suzuki, Yamaha, and Honda 750/1100 cc sport bikes; all over Angeles Crest HWY, Ortega HWY, and even up to Mammoth Lakes and race over Tioga RD to Yosemite, or up to HWY 46 off 395 and race with a friend all the way to Benton ,at the intersection of HWY 50. After moving to remote CO in 1994, I began my enduro and off-road education. Currently I currently ride a 2023 KTM 350 EXC-F for difficult off-road trails and a 2017 KTM 1090R for fast pavement and easy off-road rides. Colorado has an infinite amount of off-road areas with a variety of skill level requirements to explore. I was considering buying a beautiful 2004 KTM 950 Adventure S, because it is an analog machine without all the stupid electronics seen on the new generation KTM 790/890/1290 bikes. But after watching videos like yours and others, on maintenance, it is obvious my mechanical skills are not up to the complexity this bike requires. So my plan now is to simply keep my two dedicated machines and be happy. Thanks for sharing this video!

    2 strokes make more power because they have less pumping losses. Less moving mass overall, but more importantly, they have ignition every time the piston comes up, where 4 strokes have ignition every other time the piston comes up. However..... 4 strokes have a much flatter power curve. They make great torque right off RPM, and horsepower is a nice steady increase. 2 strokes are absolutely gutless at low RPM, and need to be wound out to get any kind of performance out of them. The 300cc 2 strokes are a big exception to the rule. The KTM 300, GasGas 300, Beta 300, Husqvarna 300 (all KTM engines anyway) are designed specifically to be very 4-stroke like in performance. They have a perfectly square bore. 72mm piston, 72mm stroke. I heard of in 2 strokes. 2 strokes usually have a very long stroke, and a comparatively small bore, while 4 strokes are the exact opposite, with a short stroke and big bore. Because the 300 has a much larger bore given the length of stroke, it has a much more 4 stroke, tractor like feel to it, and does very well at low rpm

    3 things: 1: agreed. the tire sound is crazy! The sound of traction is something to get used to. 2: I don’t think a clutch is needed. Id you understand proper throttle control. 3: you should be able to tune the off throttle response. (You can with a controller). It controls how long the power is delivered or cuts out when the throttle is released.
