Modification Database?

[Halloweenie]

In the two-stroke Vespa/Stella modification community I know of two databases in which people input into a form, or Excel file, what mods they have done (i.e. carbs,air filters, oil, jets, top end, exhausts, etc.) as well as their elevation and how the mods perform. That way, others have a general starting point when going to try their own modifications in an easy to find and read format, and the number of annoying newb questions stay down.

Does something like this exist in the XS650 world and I am just too dumb to find it? I don't want to be the newb asking stupid jetting questions if the data is easily found elsewhere.

Cheers!

It would be nice but with this many backyard builders its going to get big fast.

If it is kept to just model, top end, carb & jets, air filters, and exhaust, I think it would be manageable.

We could make it a rolling database. Attach an Excel file to this thread or one created especially for it, and people could download it, add themselves, and then attach it to the next post in the thread for the next person.

Nice idea. Could help a lot of people out

If anyone wants to experiment with it, they can just start posting in this thread and I can input the data. I have an Excel sheet ready to go. To cut down on the amount of time/energy to enter the data, I would prefer the data in the following format.

1. Username
2. Year/Model
3. Top End
4. Carbs
5. Needles
6. Needle Jets
7. Main Jets
8. Pilot Jets
9. Air Filters
10. Exhaust

If anyone thinks that I am missing anything, please let me know.

Whatever happenened to this idea?

Halloweenie, I actually have all of this information for my bike, but the formula assumes two carbs, I suppose. What about us one-carb guys? Would that require another field/category in the database?

Just list what carb you have, I will enter it with "(s)" to denote it is a single.

Thanks for being number one RecycleBill!
