steve Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Well done Stu, and PA you may have a point there with the Yam. As for Crankcase induction (excluding rotary valve) I think it was the 93 Gasser. They turned the reed block by 90 deg. and put it on the crancase so the mix fed in-between the crank, I believe Beta followed suit when the Techno came out in 1994? So what's the big deal about crankcase induction? well I don't know exactly but It had an added bonus of making it more compact. I remember trying a 250 Gas Gas in 1994 and made the decision there and then the my tuned Yam was no longer competitive. 2 weeks later I was driving back from Buxton with a big box full Gas Gas to assemble.

toofasttim Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 Can't really think of an advantage other than it makes maintenance MUCH easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
