    Magic Bike on CL

    So, not sure how it does it, but this guy says his bike has a 'self maintaining motor' ... hmm self maintaining. so it changes its own oil? tunes itself?

    Why don't I own one of these?

    LOL this must be the limited edition 1984 Honda Nighthawk 1 of 1 ever made
    ... there are some motors out there that adjust valve lash and timing but they are computerized and not that old.

    Those era Nighthawks had hydraulic lifter buckets (like a cross between the XJs' system and a car) so the valves were self adjusting and the timing was fixed. (One of my ex-wives had one.) Must be what he is talking about.

    No magic there guys , its SMT NANOBOTS that are put in the oil systems, they repair damage as its happening

    The SMT ( Self Maintainance Technology) nanobots cost a ton of money, about $ 15,000.00 for a dozen but in the long run you will never ever have a problem with that bike ever again . I am surprised hes selling it so cheap.

    as for tuning they use FSMT ( Fuel System Maintanance Technology) nanobots that can manipulate the air fuel mixture and they clean the spark plugs of carbon build up as they are burned up in the mixture and spent out the exhaust but they are cheaper since they do not stay in the system about $1,750.00 . The chrome is a self cleaning / shining product that is activated by the sun Made by Dupont.

    Also the rubber in the tires are made of a special composite of Traditional rubber and a synthesised polymer based on an elastic protein called resilin which also in every sense of the word "manufactures" more rubber from fragments and minute rubber pieces that are on the road on the road. This is made by none other than the Goodyear Tire co.

    These nanobots are made by the same company that makes Z-MAX and STP chemicals.

    Schooter, he is very serious. Do a Google search on nanobyte fuel lubrication technology. You'll be amazed!!! :lol:

    Schooter, like any brand new technology the cost is still very high making practical application at this time well,... impractical. Like electric cars, until we can get the prices down on the batteries.

    At $15K/dozen, nanobots ARE expensive but as more racing teams and rich collector car types employ them the cost SHOULD come down to the point that even you and I will be able to afford them.

    Nanobots schmanobots. As always people are taking credit for what nature already does. Just dump a culture of Escherichia coli 157:H24 in there and the little bugs will do the same thing. (They've been genetically modified). Cost about $150 a dose, but have to be done yearly. Oops, guess that would be maintenance.

    If it has to be done YEARLY then its not SELF MAINTAINING .

    I've got a fiver that says he has the only 1955 Vincent made with SMT ( Self Maintainance Technology), FSMT ( Fuel System Maintanance Technology), self cleaning chrome which is activated by the sun and made by Dupont, and with the extremely rare, for the 1955 model year, rubber restorer known as Resilin which was manufactured by the Goodyear Tire Co. of Akron, OH.

    Any takers? :)

    Schooter,
    I'm doing some exhaust work this weekend. Have you got any muffler bearings i can borrow?
    Maybe a Kanooten Valve?
    Or a left-handed Crescent Wrench?

    :D

    Don't forget you'll need the spitzscher valve to go along with that work. You know, the one up by the tongue flang...

    KT , I have an extra set of muffler bearings you can have. They're on my bench right next to the box of scribe lines 8) You'll want to make sure they'll fit over the vortex valve of your port thruster... 8O


    I wonder how many nanobots it takes to rebuild a port thruster vortex valve!??!?! :wink:

    Hilarious fake techno-babble

    When I worked B-1B Lancers for a while, the pilots emailed my avionics shop this video with the line "WTF is he talking about?"

    Geez, dude, if you're going to all the trouble to replace the muffler bearings and the spitzscher valve (aka knuten valve, hammer you spelled it wrong,) might as well go all the way and get all new johnson bars too. I'm pretty sure chacal stocks the new-style ones. And be sure to check the gaps on the frammis when you tighten it all down.

    Crap! The Ronson rods just went out on my 650 and it's almost impossible to keep the darn thing between the white lines. The problem only manifests itself over 42 mph.

    Anyone got a spare set in good condition you'd be willing to sell?
