<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> That is a very comprehensive explanation. I
have not heard that much detail about all the forces with the engines. I think
I have a good handle on what happens now. I suppose a person could use a
adjustable tension on the nose ring and adjust while the engine is
running and tune out or reduce the bad vibes. That would
be interesting to try.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=062123917-22122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Hi
Jim,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=062123917-22122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>You weren't sleeping ... just that the whole story is fairly
complicated. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=062123917-22122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Let's say there are three vibrations being sourced from the engine:
an up-down one, a side-to-side one, and a torsional one.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=062123917-22122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>In
these enlightened times we have learned that the torsional one is the
biggie.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=062123917-22122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>The other two are small by comparison.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=062123917-22122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>The axis, around which the rotational inertia of the engine is a
minimum, is at some funky angle to the centerline of the
crankshaft.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=062123917-22122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>That axis probably runs from just below the middle of the cylinder to
a point just under the engine, below the carburettor.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=062123917-22122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>The last sentence means that any movement in any one axis, will
couple to create movements in any other axes in which the engine
is free to move. That's the cause of crazy nose wobble without a
nosering. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=062123917-22122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>So
we make a big tradeoff: the engine is held fairly stiifly from wobbling the
crankshaft, which attenuates the cross couples.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=062123917-22122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>The cross couples are real bad, and even a tiny amount of play in the
nose ring lets any movement turn into more shake at more different
frequencies (RPMs) than if the nose isn't allowed to move at all.
</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=062123917-22122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Not to mention Dave 's very good point about another high frequency
content banging against the play in the nose ring.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=062123917-22122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>But the biggest reason I use a friction fit, rather than a mere tight
fit is not for rotational forces, but to dissipate the energy when the
engine is rotating at its highest degrees per second, at the idle
resonance.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=062123917-22122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>At
full throttle, the peak rotational degrees per second is actually lower than
at idle, because the small time per revolution prevents the engine from
having enough tim to accelerate to any appreciable rotational
speed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=062123917-22122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Energy absorbtive damping also lowers the resonant RPM, so that with
a good Hyde or Speedmax mount, you might end up with a resonance that is
below your lowest practical idle.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=062123917-22122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But Dean!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My learning of this, was that, the torsional
forces are absorbed by the main mount,whatever configuration and the
nose ring is used to keep the crankshaft from wobbling
up-dn,left-right.It seems that a tight nose ring transfers more of
the bang to the fuse and creates more noise. I guess some
mounts need help with the torsional forces by tightening the nose
ring.</FONT></DIV>
