Los Gatos? (fluff for Greg)
From: Greg Christopher [EMAIL PROTECTED] was a Los Gatos address I haven't lived at in quite some time! Hey Greg, I know this is one of those stupid questions (like, oh, you live in New York City? Do you know a guy named...), but I just can't resist. Do you by any remote, remote chance know a guy named Rick Tharp of Tharp Did It Design Communication at Los Gatos? now THAT would be serendipity... Roberto.

The FJ is manufactured with pretty loose tolerances, compared to a water cooled engine, to avoid metal to metal between the aluminum piston and steel cylinders sleeves, which have different coefficients of expansion, to help avoid to tight a fit when engine gets hot. What tolerances are you referring to? Piston to wall clearance? There are many variables to consider, from an engineering stand point, on correct piston to wall clearance, piston diameter being one of the more important. Silicone content in a piston, and whether it is forged or cast, also must be considered, because they expand to different degrees. Check the clearance recommendations for Wiseco pistons compared to stock, much greater clearance, for the same engine and cooling system. Facts from the 1993 Yamaha Technical Service Data microfiche: GTS Piston to wall clearance is 0.06 ~ 0.08 mm (0.0024~0.0031") Bore Size 75.5 1993 FJ1200AE Piston to wall clearance is 0.03 ~ 0.05 mm (0.0012~0.002") Bore size 77 mm Mike Coan www.warmnsafe.com Home of the Heat-troller www.ttg-global.com Motorcycle Travel Site --=_NextPart_000_000B_01C03AD3.A92A3540 Content-Type: application/ms-tnef; name="winmail.dat" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="winmail.dat" eJ8+IjMSAQaQCAAEAAABAAEAAQeQBgAI5AQAAADoAAEIgAcAGElQTS5NaWNy b3NvZnQgTWFpbC5Ob3RlADEIAQ2ABAACAgACAAEGgAMADgAAANAHCgAUABQACQUAFwEB A5AGANQIAAAiCwACAAELACMAAAMAJgAACwApAAECATEAAQABAABQ Q0RGRUIwOQABAAIAggA4obsQBeUQGqG7CAArKlbCAABQU1RQUlguRExMAABO SVRB+b+4AQCqADfZbgAAAEM6XFdJTkRPV1NcTG9jYWwgU2V0dGluZ3NcQXBwbGljYXRpb24gRGF0 YVxNaWNyb3NvZnRcT3V0bG9va1xvdXRsb29rLnBzdAAYAIxKVZ6Jtb8RlFKWUSYmmQOi gAAAGACMSlWeibW/EZRSllEmJpkDJI8nABgAjEpVnom1vxGUUpZRJiaZA8KA AAAQCtBwimk6wBGUUpZRJiaZAwEAAwA2AAACAXEAAQAAABYBwDoR4synrrsI pe8R1KH84vJXwR0qAAACAR0MAQAAAB4AAABTTVRQOk1PVE9SQ1lDTEVAV0FSTU5TQUZFLkNPTQAA AAsAAQ4AQAAGDgDGItLAOsABAgEKDgEYAIxKVZ6Jtb8RlFKWUSYmmQPCgAAA CwAfDgECAQkQAQcEAAADBAAA/wUAAExaRnWJ3oPEAwAKAHJjcGcxMjUWMgD4C2BuDhAw MzNPAfcCpARkAgBjaArAc/BldDAgCFUHsgKDAFB/A9QQ2QcTAoMOUAPVE7V9JQqBdgiQd2sLgGQ0 HQxgYwBQCwMLtSBndXh5cywKogqECoAEACAEdGgYUWEgc3VnMmcHkHRpAiAYcG8gDwlwCcAV4Rhx ZSBjbLZlCsAAcGMacBmhLg9QGG1tIBlyGmFHVFMWPxeaF5RUGmFGSiDTGFEDgXVmANB0CHAJgGYg A/AYgCBwCXACQHn6IAkAbxEwGZEaoBrTF3A/GoADcAqxHtEZoRjQd2F+dBHRF5QFoCAxGjAJ8GeN C4BlIMAhcnZvaRowXweAAZADIBmhJARiEUB35wnhGkMHQHVtC4Al0B9A/wQAGaADoABwGjAZQAng AyG5IjR5bBXhBJAEIHMaoLRldiCidxiQEPAgEQDpKJAgZAaQZgSQCfAFQD8FoAERDeAIkAIwBCBv Zn0i4HgKsACBAiAjUxpgbJ5wIhUjpBmhGVBnaAVA/xjQKnAFQCjgJUEi9BcwEUChBCBob3QuF5pX EQDPBUAgKBjACXAgeQhgGcGLKcEaAWcZkT8gUCZU+xmhIcBsAyAalzJgHZExMe8xIheUA4EfoHYK wAcwAmD/B5EZoQWgAIEEgSDAA1Imod8i5QZxMhEZQCaycCPAAjD/IMAZcQWhCXAekCIVJkUy//cg wCZFKZBhJAER0STwMgL/AiAacCsBGlIEYDExB3A4gO8AIABwL0AiFVMDEA3gPQL/NkEh4CoBC4AY wSZEIMAmsr8uERpRBcAt4RhRAhByGSAzGjAFsWNhGUBA0Wxz/SRxdRlAJOEiFzZkCYAgwP8k8EKw Q3AbERpgH6ArMyFTVymYAQAJwnM+kEMaYGP+axpNF5Q5UQNwB4AV8CHQ8xlhQfMgVwQABZEmNQQg /yDqJmFH0CDAQ2ApEQnBIdPvOvkXlEpCGlJzPDEuViayryKCN+MXYCHgbS9bRh6BB0HxNvIaUjE5 OTMgulk8MGERADQQBZBoAwDfQrADIAZhFZAbAUQh0BjQzyXgBQArACkBZToXmhwxJzJ/GqcYUSAw G2A2IFp+WEI4HiAboChYUTAIMjR+WVIzMSIpLCBCPcI/EHo0pjc1fC41F5pSox3QDiBZcEG+RVZ/ V4pYUVLQWKM1WQHvF5RZQw4gWbMyWiYAkFrBfDc3X6cWZRZTHLoWoTJ5BdBpaxpwCFAAcBeUd6Vl QC4hwHJtAIBhKcCyLiDhIEgDcD0nSE0R/C10A2AzQASQF5plQgJAaGctZwkAYgdAZhNNzy8wBbAn sBqRICY0EBrQvyiQU+EfEDSmYowVUQBs4AALAAGACCAGAADARgADhQAA AAMAA4AIIAYAAMBGABCFAwAHgAggBgAAwEYA UoUAAH1uAQAeAAmACCAGAADARgBUhQAAAQQ5LjAACwANgAggBgAA wEYAgoUAAAELADqACCAGAADARgAOhQMA PIAIIAYAAMBGABGFAwA9gAggBgAAwEYAGIUA AAALAGiACCAGAADARgAGhQMAaYAIIAYAAMBG AAGFAgH4DwEQjEpVnom1vxGUUpZRJiaZAwIB+g8BEIxKVZ6J tb8RlFKWUSYmmQMCAfsPAQAAAIIAOKG7EAXlEBqhuwgAKypWwgAAUFNUUFJYLkRMTAAA TklUQfm/uAEAqgA32W4AAABDOlxXSU5ET1dTXExvY2FsIFNldHRpbmdzXEFwcGxpY2F0 aW9uIERhdGFcTWljcm9zb2Z0XE91dGxvb2tcb3V0bG9vay5wc3QDAP4PBQMADTT9NwAA AgF/AAE4PExQQkJKRUZDQktCTEhETElCQUxHSUVJUENIQUEubW90b3JjeWNsZUB3YXJt bnNhZmUuY29tPgADAAYQSYit6AMABxC2AwAAAwAQEAADABEQAB4ACBABZQAAAEdV WVMsSVNUSElTQVNVR0dFU1RJT05UT1JFR1JJTkRUSEVDTEVBUkFOQ0VUTzAzTU1PTlRIRUdUUz9U SEVGSklTTUFOVUZBQ1RVUkVEV0lUSFBSRVRUWUxPT1NFVE9MRVJBTkMA3T0= --=_NextPart_000_000B_01C03AD3.A92A3540--

RE: Aerostitch
10 and 12 year old suits getting top dollar on ebay and such because of this performance and reputation. I sold my 12 year old suit for $350 which paid for about 1/2 of my new one. Can't do much better than that. Regards, Henry S. Winokur 94 GTS1000, AMA, MRF, MD/MSF Certified Instructor West Bethesda, MD
RE: Aerostich
I had one for 12 years that I sold late last year before I purchased my new one. I don't ride every day, but Aerostich will repair almost any damage you can do. If it isn't worth repairing, they'll tell you that. I think I sent my old one in every 2 years or so for zipper pull replacements, but you can now purchase the zippers and do it yourself if you are so inclined. As far as I'm concerned you can't get better protection. The way I look at it, if it's too hot or too cold to ride in my stich, it is simply too hot/cold (for me) to ride. So I take alternative transportation. Regards, Henry S. Winokur 94 GTS1000, AMA, MRF, MD/MSF Certified Instructor West Bethesda, MD Regarding the Aerostitch suit how many of us are using one for pretty much daily commuting ? I want to know how well they hold up with day in day out usage. Its quite a bit of money to me and I would hate to wear it out in a year or two. Since I ride a bike almost daily. I have a hard time believing with daily usage, repeated launderings and sun exposure any faric would hold up for very long. Any comments apreciated. Offlist is fine I'm sure this subject has been around before.

Don't get red!! It fades terribly after repeated exposure to the sun and Aerostich will tell you that when you're placing the order. There is NOTHING they can do about it. The colors that seem to hold up best are black or gray. There is NO WAY this suit will wear out in a year or two and if there is a problem with any part of the suit simply send it in for an immediate repair. If it is a problem with a zipper or a torn seam, they will repair it FREE. I can't say enough good things about the company and the product. You REALLY don't need to wash it very often even if you wear it everyday. Simply take a damp cloth to get bugs of other dirt off small areas. If you do have to wash the whole suit, take out the pads (very simple) and wash with Nikwax http://www.nikwax.com Techwash and treat with Nikwax TX-Direct Wash-in to refresh it's water repellancy.
