Re: Crofter985'S KLX650C supermoto build
I have it all already, I've been at this project for so long it's given me time to do thing like buying the cams, I just waited till one then another came up on eBay. I ordered the 1mm oversize valves from a company called Manley in the US. Then I got seat cutters and have already fitted them to the...

Re: Crofter985'S KLX650C supermoto build
It could be 43mm. I tried a OEM gasket but it did not sit on well with the manifold, I ended up making one out of copper which seems to be working out ok. What is probably the best thing to do is open out the exhaust port a bit. Perhaps not right away but at some time. And anyway a manifold will hav...

Re: Crofter985'S KLX650C supermoto build
The turbo came in the post, it is bigger, most importantly it is much bigger inside. http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg553/captcroft985/38E0E1BA-2779-404B-8A30-B5B0114951CD_zpsmrwrdwms.jpg The other thing I was hoping for a result on was the lack of restriction on the turbine entry. http://i1243...

Re: Crofter985'S KLX650C supermoto build
I've ordered a new old stock gt2256 hopefully the turbine housing will handle the exhaust ok, well I think just off the cuff, it will be ok. There is a company who turbo bikes for snowtracks that put 2256s on Ktm/crf450s and the like so I think it will be good, well I guess it still could be too sma...

Re: Crofter985'S KLX650C supermoto build
That was one of the things that was going through my mind this morning, ha ha, I have that gt1549 I got originally for this project. I could put them both on. Now I have just written that down it seems even more bananas, it's like a monsoon outside just now, no video weather, going to trawl eBay for...

Re: Crofter985'S KLX650C supermoto build
One more thing it was as loud, very loud, and the AFRs was rich if anything. I'm wondering if the noise is a symptom of the over retarded ignition. I mean the ignition event is happening too late and the gasses are still burning in the exhaust. The exhaust and turbo does get very hot. I'll try advan...
