Oversize powervalve cover.

Read swazi's and my post again. He is a bit unclear on how the system works and mine was just a clarification. What I was saying basically is that the part thats slotted is the end of the drum valve that constantly moves as its part of the system, not a static part.
 
That is because the power valve cover will provide more gain when using a rev pipe versus a bottom end pipe (like the gnarly). The bottom end pipe already has alot of volume with the design of the pipe itself.

With a rev pipe it adds volume to the exhaust and makes it behave like a gnarly when the power valve is closed and the pv chamber open to the exhaust tract. When the power valve opens - the pv chamber is "turned off" - so the rev pipe does it job up top.

Bottom line, with the oem pipe, doma, etc. it will buy you some bottom with no cost to the top end power.

Thanks for clearing that up.
 
Yes, it is, but through the spring not directly acting on the drum valve shaft. Knob twists spring in either direction on one side, spring adds/subtracts force to system through drum valve shaft on other side.

can you explain the cause/effect of adjusting it. More spring tenstion does what and so on. Is there a thread on that?
 
The PV is actuated by RPM, starts to come on at a certain point. Depending which way you turn the knob you either "help" or "hinder" it by preloading or un-preloading the spring (is that a word?)
So now you have an oversize PV cover (which some like, others dislike) that also allows you to adjust when it comes on to a point.
Personally I like the oversize PV cover. I wish I could afford to try the adjustable one.

i iam still looking for the price for the adjustable pv cover
he is on a trip and it will be the third week next year i will see him
so then i let you now the price,i hope it will be cheap like mine:D
it works like hell:eek:
 
deluc,
Big thanks for the Trusty porn and results.

So, massive trials power for the technical sections without fear of hp midrange hit then adjust for quick hard hitting hp right off the bottom rpm?

If only you could adjust on the handlebar! :)
 
Yes, you heard it all just as you turn the knob,
The engine gives more power on bottom
on remains quiet at the bottom but then all hell breaks loose.
You can adjust it really very nice
only if I put him on 6, I get a stuttering at high rpm engine.
I think I need to adjust the carburetor for that.
but to be honest, I still have little control.
Now begins the beautiful weather to come and what more I can run and adjustment.
tomorrow I can finally start driving on parcours and will definitely give an update on

Hi there I'm new here in this forum. I'm from Denmark(excuse my bad english), and I just picked up a 2006 ec250, and I just love that bike, i've made a owersize PVcover for it, and it just made it run alot better, but would like the option to ajust the power. I looked alot at the ajustable type "Trusty" makes, and then I found this thread.
Deluc, you made a very good dokumentation on installing it, but it kind of made me think how good is the "trusty" anyway? since you have to make that much modification on it, can you try to explain what mods you made and why you needed to make them?
I understand why you need to mod the axle on the PV drum and remove the bearing but you also mod the "trusty" parts? did they not fit right or what's the deal on that?
 
hello
I got that trusty to adjust because it does not fit perfectly
I think it's a fake
and got it very cheap to buy
but it is very easy to like today on a cross track
run once and I have the aggressive engine
Endurance for a few clicks back and I have a quiet engine
I use it every time I go riding, make a really great difference
I think if you are on the axis of the PV can make something that you can confirm anything.
mount something on you so do left and right may initiate
and you have the same effect as the trusty
help open whether stop bit
and it does not really have too much power
that trusty feather, as in the picture is not so much
I hope you will find what you need
 
Thank you Deluc, just what i nedded to know. It's really a simple construction and it shuld be easy to copy, and I rerally hope your's ia a fake, coz for the prize of the real thing, it should fit like a glove, with no mods made to the bike other than removing the first of the two PV bearings. After I made the oversize PV cover and seen what positive effect it have on the bike. I siply have to make it ajustable. does it give even more bottom on the
+6 setting and even more explosive on the -3 than the stock bike with the non ajustable cover?

Here is my new cover(need to make it ajustable very soon)

really nice cover,well done,buth you need to clean the motor so bad!!!
gasgas is blingbling:rolleyes:
i dont now how to say,i forgot how the power was before;)

more bottom,yes for sure
more top,yes alsoo becausse i keeps al the power untill the end

:eek:Clean? What? Where? The cover is bling (coz it's new)
i've tryed that cleaning thing, but found that it's overrated, it only stay clean for a couple of hours anyway:rolleyes:.

But what a sweet ride you have there! looks almost new, do you ever ride it? or is that one just for show;)

I went riding today with the original cover, and bring the oversize in my bag. found a nasty tecnical trail and ride it, change the cover ride it again. there you really feel the improvement of bottom tourqe. on first ride i need to change between first,second and third, but with the oversize i did'nt need first gear at all just a crawl through in third almost at idle, only neded second for popping over some logs.
I Can imagine the smilefactor, when you need to go back home, just turn the power to overdrive and fly home.

I dont have any Clean "Model" pics. of my bike just yet, but here is my new bike.

heinrik are you the local enduro king, seems like you have a crown on your helmet!

Any chance of putting up some dimensions of the oversized PV cover?
 
Hehe..:D
Yeah, I was King for a day...

It's kind of complicated with the measurements, coz there is too many angels and nothing on that thing, line up with eachother. but the optimal depth of the cover is 25.5mm (1 Inch) so a 24.5mm spacer and the original cover would do the same job.
Right now I'm testing a prototype of the ajustable version, with a simple bolt on design (that fits without any mods on the bike), and it just might come up for sale in the near future, hopefully at a more reasonable price than the existing products. So keep your eye open for new product Announcements.

thanks
that will be great then we can stop listening to the ktm boys harping on about red and yellow springs
