2 stroke V's 4 Stroke- Lets thump it out??

[Lozza]

I asked Smurph(the injected RZ man) if this MS conversion would work on a dirt bike and be alright for the changing dymamics in a 2T engine."Will work perfectly" was his reply, but I'll send you a link to a fellow who has 2000km on his injected 350......hmmm some heartache and trials and tribulations but is 'doable' .Start looking for 03 R6 TB's NOW before everyone wants them.They run a 39mm TB and they will pull from just off idle in top gear brilliant stuff.The MS forum has been really helpful to the 'converted' to..........
I much prefer the carb with the PV and ignition control ATM.

Its nearly 3 years old this topic  , but a good read.
I wonder if opinions have changed. 
cheers

Sure will Lozza........as soon as I find out what a TB is.
And while I'm in an inquisative mood...when did the world start this annoying habit of calling two strokes 2T and four strokes 4T? Is it some new form of Gen X hip text talk or did I miss the memo informing me of the change?

Hey Firko, wasn't it Shell a few years back that had 2T and 4T oil?

Firko,

 I'd suggest TB stands for 'throttle body'

Ah! It makes sense now. I just wish people would try to avoid using text style abreviations so that old school dummies like me can understand. I've lately been spending a lot of email time communicating with one of the leading guys in refactoring the Bosch electronic fuel injection on V12 Jags and he hasn't used the term TB...he calls 'em throttle bodies, presumably so morons like me can understand. 

Hey Firko, wasn't it Shell a few years back that had 2T and 4T oil?

Yeah but it still doesn't make any sense to me. Even though I find it annoying I sometimes find myself using 2T/4T, displaying how easily these things slip into common usage without us giving it much thought as to why.

I must be getting old as well as I often have trouble with these abbreviations.

TIG welders have 2T & 4T switch options too. It refers to how many clicks at the hand piece you like to use.
Think it all has some European meaning.

Once you fatter and slower 4 strokes work well

The term T for stroke is derived from most Euro languages (tempi=Spanish & Italian temps=French and takt German & Dutch) that the word for time/clock refering to an engine begines with the letter T.

Hey Firko that would make the Jag a 12T  "Its all about style"

[Canam370]

.......and if a V1 was an explosive device would that make the V12 12X more destructive when it explodes too?

So why use it in English for f**k sake? Methinks it's new age metrosexual bunkum. From here on in, kick me in my ample arse if you catch me using 2t terminology in anything I write. Somebody has to save the English speaking world from this pompous new age shit. .

Why have you used the the German word 'verboden' in sentences?

Who, me? Not me I'm glad to say Loz. If I have I'd like you to point it out please.

Why the angst? Is it verboten to use German? should we also drop kindergarten, muesli, abseiling, doppelgänger. kitsch, hinterland, iceberg, kernel, lager, etc.? English in the 5th century was Germanic, ffs. the Angles (Baltic), Jutes (Jutland), Saxons.. ie all northern Germans who threw on a rucksack, lobbed in after the Romans and started to build Biergartens!.
