this may be a stupid idea but gotta throw it out there anyways. anyone ever thought of piping a small amount of pure oxygen into the intake of a bike? it's 4:30 am here so my thinking may not be too good but it seems like maybe there would be a little power gain. Stewart, maybe a dyno check idea. MADDOGGY

BDI:
You would probably have to add fuel just like with nitrous and you probably would not see the gains for all your work that you would see with nitrous. Not to mention pure oxygen, oil and fuel will start a fire all on their own. You would probably start a fire in the carb that would progress down the intake to the bottom end and blow the top off the engine. I say we try It  :evil:.

  (Interesting fact) On It's own nitrous Is not flammable you can actually put a fire out with It.

Wayyyy bad idea, oxygen does not like hydrocarbons. It will make a big explosion, ever wonder why your oxy acetylene gauges say use no oil, big explosion. bad, bad, bad idea, I like reading your posts, and would like to see you around awhile, don't do it.

maddoggy:
well guys keep in mind that it was 4:30 am at the end of a nightshift at work when the thought entered my tired mind. :oops: oh well. after thinking about it today i thought it wasn't a good idea. i shouldn't think at 4:30 am i should just take a nap. :lol: MADDOGGY

Don you should not not be a negative Nellie you should be open to new ideas. I have been kicking around the idea of hydrogen peroxide injection ran threw a catalyzer. should be one hell of a jump In horse power we plan to test run It at Bonneville. :evil:
