      use liquid nitrogen cooling inside the airbox (old pc's overclocking kit)

      so you dont have to wait for the evening. or winter. to have a cool ride.

      but what about misty / foggy days? with a lot of water molecules in the air ? That's even better for the combustion.

          @irongamer727 I find that taking the carb off completely improves performance dramatically

            @declan Yeah but when you are pushing yours, any weight you can remove is going to make it better. For those of use whose DT's aren't broke, best keep the carb on.

                @declan Well that ain't going to solve anything. Just fix it.

                        @irongamer727 no what happened was I took the bike out really late and a few mile way from home it broke down the Rev cable had came loose from the slide in the carb so I had no throttle and had to push it back and my reeds are bad so Iโ€™m waiting for my new ones then I can put it back together

                          @declan Happens to the best of us.

                          I remember it happened when I fitted my belgarda engine. Sod pushing it home though, I just turned the idle screw up and rode it home in first lol.

                              @declan Idle screw was seized?

                              Shame, I was running the VHSA carb so it was all nicely rebuilt.
