WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 No tire plugs? LOL No.......I bring spare sets of wheel/tires. LOL I've taco'd rims and busted beads in the past. Much easier to just swap them out and do the repairs at home. ....and a Dewalt 18v impact comes with too....but I was just listing stuff that fits in the "Toolbox".

Zillaguy Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Electric/cordless impact is a must. Along with an impact driver and #3 phillips bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbowrenchhead Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Add a craftsman compression tester to that. Always compression test and leak down test after any motor work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoronG Posted August 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 What does the compression test actually mean? Same with leak down test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Solder for squish test. Any time you swap head or domes, gaskets, piston style, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 What does the compression test actually mean? Same with leak down test?Compression test basically tells you that the piston/rings are in fact capable of properly squeezing the air fuel mixture before the Big Bang. If the motor is weird and you wanna know that you didn't burn a cylinder down you check it real quick to be sure it's got life. So say a stockish bike with a shaved head normally kicks 150 and you know his cuz you check it since you maintain the bike..... So it runs weird at the dunes and gets hot. Maybe even seizes but let's go. You're not sure if it's toast. It starts but how do you know what damage was done? Throw the gauge on it and say maybe one side kicks 120 and the other is like 80. You would know you torched the rings. Hell, you could kick 150 and like 12, so you'd pretty much expect a piece of the piston to be gone. Maybe a hole burned through or hammered through by deto. You also hear guys use it to pick their fuel and gauge how much timing they can get away with. Often you get guys with an argument that you're not supposed to use the cranking compression and that you should use the calculated compression. There are more complex terms but I'm a fucking simpleton so I'll keep that way. To an extent that is a valid argument as there are lots of variables. The thing is, there are so many combos out there for banshees hat have already been done that if you're around them enough and know the mods of a certain set up, you know what it should commonly kick so in my opinion I think it can be used as a means of fuel selection and guesstimating if you can give a little bit of timing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
