(I still think it may have been overtightened, squeezing the gasket out.)

Quote from: fj1289 on March 30, 2025, 04:58:52 PMMost people are going to tell you blow thru is better.

BUT, that is probably because most draw thru systems are based on carbs and older design turbos. 

If you setup a more modern turbo with a just a throttle body in front of it and injectors in the manifold - I'd bet the difference would come down to turbo sizing and tuning.  But, then the issue is coming up with a carbon seal for the turbo to be used in vacuum situations ... or move the throttle body downstream and end up with a draw-thru "style" blow thru ...

I "think" I like both styles - but haven't ridden either yet!
We need a inexpensive, intuitive port fuel injection system with self tuning capabilities.

Bikerjimbob,

FWIW, my first thought on brakes would be to switch to stainless steel hydraulic hoses, not new calipers.  Most hydraulics shops can duplicate your rubber hoses at reasonable prices.  The new hoses will be covered by stainless steel braiding, and even can be had in a variety of colors. Make sure you get the pivoting banjo ends on the new hoses.  The older banjos did not pivot, and you can not twist a hydraulic hose to fit - the banjos will have to pivot instead.

Personally, I would not want two-finger front brakes; I'd probably lock the front wheel on a panic stop if the front brakes are TOO responsive.

Our house has a smaller furnace in the garage.  I just removed a plate meant for cleaning out the ducts.  As long as you keep the garage door closed it stays a reasonable temperature.  Cheap, easy, fast and effective!

Quote from: Bones on Yesterday at 03:46:21 PMThey don't have to be just the blue spots either, the later silver or gold spots fit as well. A lot of different model Yamahas used them so just a matter of picking what colour you want and source a pair. They have to be axiel mounted though not the more modern radial mounted.

Thats great info thank you, so I will start looking here in Australia for any blue, silver or gold spot units

Good day all.

  I'm in Ontario Canada and I'm looking for a tank and rear wheel for a 92. My tank is rusted bad inside. It doesn't have to be 92 colours because it'll get painted.

Thank you
Dan

I believe my adapter is the older 8 port version.
