Six more Thai roads given 120 kmph speed limits
VocalNeal replied to Jonathan Fairfield's topic in Thailand News
I find the best way is to drive worse than the locals. Works in all countries. -
Multiple cylinders require a slightly different approach. Some are 4 into 1 some are two into two into 1. Depends on requirements. I think most high rpm dedicated ports use 4 into1 but I'm no expert. On a single that doesn't matter. Minis had long centre branch because the two middle ports were Siamese. But that may not be appropriate for bikes at higher revs.

My former FIL had a tie like that. He used to wear it to semi formal dinners. -
After market exhausts reduce back pressure which is good for high end power but not so good for lower end torque. On the 300 in question the front pipe length is important.

For longer trips at higher speeds I use this type. Bought my last set in Global for about 25 Baht. The cord pulls out. I don't use that as it transfers noise. I buy helmets for ventilation which of course translates to noise.

Gasoline or gasahol? So confused
VocalNeal replied to problemfarang's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Scooter runs at 9.5: 1 compression. Truck because it says that in the manual. (or LPG which has octane rating over 100) -

Ad hominem. Not at its best, but recognisable. -
Gasoline or gasahol? So confused
VocalNeal replied to problemfarang's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Modern SkyActive engines run very high compression ratios, almost in diesel territory and they sometimes run with compression ignition. Ethanol has an octane rating of 110-ish. If the manual says 95 or higher than that is what you should use. -

Unless you count Brazil where they are coming up for their 20 year anniversary. -

If it is direct injection the benzine 95 never sees the intake system as it is injected as the intake valves are closing. -
