A day in the life in the North

[armstrong]

Oh.

I thought it was a thread created for people living in the north to post about their daily life here.






Wouldn't be my style now to be 'onest Dave.

In Stumpy's first post of this thread he invites anyone who lives in the north to add to the thread.

A day in the life in the North

[Stumpy]

Clearing the air, so to speak. Armstrong and the others that have noted, this is a thread about living in the North. Anyone "Living" up is encouraged to post. The intent of the thread was for other posters to share living life up here.

Originally I started this thread when our illustrious poster Mendo started a thread about life in Isaan. The thread was never intended to be an exclusive Jppr2 thread it just happens I posted frequently.

I will leave it as that.

[moose65]

maybe i should start a thread about "Livin In the middle"................... yeah Nah.

cant bee fooked.

[BLD]

Wiluna? Meekatharra?all in the middle of
...bumfuck nowhere. Better stumpy just keeps posting of his nice lifestyle and location.

Thanks to all the great pictures I hope we see more oix and less bickering in 2025.

Hoppy New Year everyone

^ Cheers. Got a lil trip to the GF's CM home town in the New Year, might add the pics and commentary.

Well a few days off...been busier than one legged man in an ass kicking contest.

I have been working with 2 ATV after market product companies on matching an Omni Drive clutch performance package and a ECU AFR tune to add more performance to my CFMoto 1000cc ATV. of course I really do not need any more HP as the thing makes ~90Hp out of the crate but I am the type that can't play with adding more performance for fun.



This is an Omni Clutch assembly. Its a centrifugal type belt clutch . The trick is to apply power by reducing the lost HP at the crank due to belt slippage which will apply more HP to the wheels.

There are quite a few ways to go about it. One is change the spring load in the Primary clutch and change spring load in the secondary.





First aspect is having tuneability in the primary. The arm on the left is the factory set up. The arm on the right is a custom designed arm where neodymium weights are used to control how quickly the primary engages







Coupling the primary to the secondary is related to a few factors. The Helix and the secondary spring rate. I have been testing a few different ones with great results.





Along with the clutch tuning, I am working with a guy in Germany on his Power ECU. It has had some mixed results being the AFR Map is configured around engine and clutch load and I have thrown a few engine codes

The Performance ECU business owner and I talk every day and we have been working on re tuning the AFR map. He sent me a few diagnostic tools as we wanted to know the errors being thrown







This is an OBD II. So early issues have been from off idle to top speed its running lean because the clutch engages way to hard so the Wide band 02 sensor tries to correct fuel with the EFI. I am hitting the throttle and yanking the front wheels up and riding it 30 to 50 feet before it settles down. So lots of power. Of course its more than I would ever need but its fun tuning. I am am guessing based on a few numbers that we are up to 105HP now.

Fun times living up North.

Good to see you back posting, but I gotta say my lack of knowledge in this area means that this post reads a lot like a David44 post to me. But I think it proves your assertion to taxi that your ATV hobby is not just a pick up lately one.

All good DW. I have been really busy in discussion with quite a few aftermarket company owners. It's just a hobby but I enjoy the technical engineering aspect of it. I don't expect many to care on this site but it is what I am doing here.

I fully retire April/May so I am setting up my next avenue for fun.

[Stumpy]

I finally switched flight apps for my DJI drone as it was buggy due to all the US nonsense and controls. The new flight software I am using is not an issue.







Beautiful quiet country in my parts. This small lake is loaded with various fish. I didn't bring a pole but I will fab up a rod holder for the ATV for next time. Only way to get to it is by motorcycle or ATV.

[malmomike77]

neodymium weights

make great magnets too

[Stumpy]

make great magnets too

Well they are magnets, and quite powerful. That's how they stay in place in the arm. You want to keep them away from smartphones and watches and well as computers and pacemakers if you are an old timer....

utter bollocks.

surely the core of your ECU - MAGA Moto consists of a self attenuating spatio-dynamic geodesic lattice framework (SDGLF), which utilizes a trianguloriform fractalization matrix (TFM) and it is this lattice which functions as a self-supporting framework where each vertex of the geodesic triangulation is dynamically reinforced by biomimetic resonant coupling nodes (BRCNs)., seeing as these BRCNs employ a hybrid electro-capacitive-filamentous resonator system, allowing them to expand or contract based on voltage oscillation patterns derived from the auxiliary capacitic field fluctuation matrix (ACFFM) you can consign your inefficient omni drive setup to the bin as it is basically nothing more than a redundant resonator, effectively modulating tensile forces, resulting in poorly optimized shape-shifting capabilities.

for a so called engineer, you seem to be stuck in the oily rag and hammer stage of development and making the sort of glaring errors that even a 10 year old would laugh at, so c'mon dude! its not rocket science! sharpen up.

Hello Tax and HNY you ignorant tooth pulling council flat coffin dodger. You absolutely no nothing but hey if you want to burn a few hours you can google all those things and then tell me how you know how it all works.. HAHAHA

You done pulling English peoples rotten teeth yet? Got to be a long career in that field... . Update on the new tools for pulling them.....

[taxexile]

... and a happy new year to you and yours too.

Big Happy New Year hugs to all me fellow Northern brethren.

Funnily enough I was having a similar discussion about remapping my Saab with the pros and cons.

Do I really need another 100BHP on top? What about fuel consumption? Etc..

I've already fitted a ECU heat shield which is working well.

[Edmond]

100bhp gain on a Saab from remapping the ECU?

The company owner wasn't previously head of Volkswagen fuel mileage department by any chance.

255Hp ->300Hp = 45Hp which is still a few horses too much for a stage 1 tune of that engine, I wonder if he got it dyno'd or if it was only promised Hp.
With no tuning but a reprogram of throttle sensitivity/response you can make people believe that they got 20Hp more. Cowboy tuning..

Have enjoyed "riding along" on this thread as it brings back a lot of memories of times back in Mae Taeng. Might have to get back there in the coming year for a visit.

Hey Hey TL. Happy New Year. I remember back a few years ago you, Terp80, FatOne and SteveFarang were all building our places about the same time. Was some great exchange of info between all of us.

I am still in regular contact with Fat one. Haven't heard from Terp 80 or Steve Farang in a long time. They may have left Thailand. Fat One still here.

Cheers

Having been in the motorsports industry for most of my life, ECU remapping for HP gains is a crap shoot unless you can physically test your vehicle after install. Many ECU map's just change the timing and AFR (Air/Fuel Ratio for the those teeth pulling guys) but they tend to lean the motor out which eventually has its own set of issues later. Finding a "Plug and Play" to gain 100 hp would make me extremely skeptical. Most companies know that the general consumer does not have access to a dyno to confirm what they are selling plus a lot of the places always make a disclaimer about how they achieved the results and "Your results may vary"

For me, I am testing quite a few options. While I do not have a chassis dyno, I can gather the data and calculations can be made to establish a baseline. This is just a hobby and I enjoy having the time to work directly with aftermarket companies to see what has a positive impact on performance. As I mentioned, The CForce 1000cc ATV makes plenty of power as delivered. Right now I am trying to find a good power range based on my riding terrain. The Omni clutch doesn't make HP. Its like a torque converter in a car. It takes crank HP and applies to the rear wheels. so the better you optimize the clutch, the more power you can recognize at the wheels.
