LOL hope the day comes when you've rebuilt the same type of motor a few times over the course of 10 years and know its behavior well enough to not need a steel shank boot, a safety vest and an ambulance on stand by to kick start a motorcycle.

Thanks for the ride-along. We did Cranberry Lake Rd last weekend, what a fun road that is! Adding that to my repeat list, for sure.

In a similar situation as you, am planning to do the Silver Adv class (single cylinder) with my DR650. My intention is to use it as a learning experience and know the gap in both my fitness and skill level as well as DR’s limitations for such/rally-raid kinda events. I would love to catch-up and take some notes from you about your takeaways and any advice that you may have for me. I am in Toronto and ready to drive/ride within Ontario for a meetup. Lemme know if its possible for you. Great video and details. Thanks for sharing!!

Any reason you're doing Silver vs Bronze? I'm sure you can pick and choose in Silver as well, but you may find yourself in with a bunch of guys on KTM's riding for glory as they work towards the Gold class. There are a few 'Adventure' rider groups on Facebook covering the GTA that you should check out facebook.com/groups/1791201907930391

Weird waddling sound. The seat looks like a real ball killer.
@dothetontim
@dothetontim Жыл бұрын
The seat has a cutout for the balls, and the short open pipes coupled with the camera's microphone certainly contribute to the sound. That and the 277 degree re-phase of the crankshaft alter the sound and performance pretty significantly. It was an absolute beast easily taking me to 120MPH with more to give. Sold the bike a few years ago to a first time rider and haven't seen it or the rider since.

@@dothetontim, A first time rider sounds like a death sentence to me. My first bike was a 1970 Honda SL 100. Second and 3rd were 1968, 1970 Honda CL 450's. Last bike was a 1977 650 Yamaha twin. The Yamaha was the best of the 4 bikes. It had the least amount of maintenance related issues.

It was very nice after the rephase. Not sure I'd go through the expense of that again, but it was fun building up the motor with the rephased crank, 750cc pistons, lumpy cam, titanium valves etc. Ran like a beast but I could still ride it around town. I've since sold the bike - not sure where it is these days.

Im aware of the piston having valve reliefs, just wanted to make sure nothing touches. lol. I am going a bit over 750 and want to keep stock diameter valves and maybe reduce the intake diameter a bit. Anyways thanks for the help.

It was a whole package I worked out with Ryan for the ported head with the titanium valve train, rephased crank etc. so you're best off talking to him about it. No clearance issues at all - the XS pistons have big valve reliefs cut into them, and the 750cc pistons I used have larger than normal valve pockets to accommodate the larger intakes.

Check in with Ryan at 707Racing (can't post the link here). He did the head work and rephased the crank. It has titanium valves and retainers sourced from NASCAR, as well as custom milled bronze valve guides. You can read all the gory detail over at DO THE TON (easy to find) the biggest cafe racer website out there (I run it).

It's a 1972 Yamaha XS1b (early XS650) frame with a 1984 XS650 engine that has been significantly modified. The tank is a custom aluminum Manx replica as is the seat. Not much is stock on the bike. You can see all the details on our site - dotheton com (KZbin doesn't allow the posting of links).

In theory it is smoother than stock. But I went from a bone stock rebuilt motor to the fully kitted out rephased motor with the ported head, 750 kit and hot cam, so it's apples and oranges. It runs awesome. I might have done something bad running it in Alabama in October for the annual DO THE TON Mama Tried get together coinciding with the Barber Vintage Festival. Got it up to 120mph at about 9000 RPM and it's smoking a bit out the left now. Will tear into it and see what I did :)
