<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 size=2>Then,
you win!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<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>
