Its a bit of an illusion it is 2mm less than a std fx1. I can machine the shaft if I like. I am running 12mm wide bearings to allow it to have the max room I can. I was thinking about setting it back but a superjet is 2" longer and I dont want to go that far back. If I could get a 25" shaft I...
Here is the new pump sitting on the jig with the fx1 driveshaft in it. I had to use different bearings as the wr500 uses a larger bearing. No issue it the same as a kdx crank bearing.
I have cut the rear tabs down and will make new ones and weld them on next week. then i can work out the length...
The jig is finished it will allow me to put the shaft on the new pump and have it sitting in the same place it was on the old pump. I can then make up new mounts for it and put it straight in.
It doesnt fit the pump shoe correctly unless you make a new one. Every 144 fx1 I have ridden doesn't seem to have the same flick-ability as the original fx1. And its kinda cool
Think about it this way. The piston on a stroker crank has to move further each 180 degrees as the stroke is longer so at each given rpm the piston is moving faster to actually end up in the same place as the smaller stroke. It also advances your port timings as the piston moves more each degree...
Have a look at any performance two stroke. They have as close to a square bore ratio as possible. You willl find that a big bore will never make the same power as a stroker of the same cc. Its just not going to happen I am afraid. And that not adding in the fact that the big bore cuts into the...
Well its been a while but I have the stainless pipe here ready to make the liner.
I was to busy spending money on other projects to waste money on the fx. This was the major part and now I need to draw the flange and get that cut.
