Logical1 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 A friend of mine just sent me this link: http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/10-5470 I did some surfing and found this site with some better photo's http://www.rhdjapan.com/kameari-twin-idler-gear-l6-l4-57732 While a $800 part is nutty for a every day L-series build, I cant help but appreciate the engineering of this system and wanted to share it with you folks. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment

Stupid_fast Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 At JCCS I heard a L series with sidedrafts and these twin idler gear. There is NO chain noise, its almost creepy how silent the motor sounds. I would absolutely love one for each of my motors!! If only someone sold a cheaper one. Kameari makes all kinds of cool L series stuff. http://www.kameariusa.com/L4products.php Oh god... they have close ratio FS5W71B gearsets... Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I just don't know how L series 4 and 6s ever managed to drive billions of miles without one. It's a miracle. Quote Link to comment

I was hoping it made a terrible whining noise. Quote Link to comment
Stupid_fast Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 You just ruined it for me. I was hoping it made a terrible whining noise. That motor I heard almost sounded supercharged.. All you heard was induction and exhaust, very little mechanical noise. I thought it sounded great. I can only imagine how far a fully setup kameari L series would revv... Quote Link to comment
Logical1 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Good god Stupid_fast you are the quick edit master! I did a thorough search before posting this, but upon a google image search I found a thread where it was talked about (slightly) http://community.ratsun.net/topic/25202-lz24-buildsome-assembly-required/ While I will NOT be using this on any of my L-Series I thought it at least invited some scrutiny and a chance for anyone with the set-up to give us their experience with it. The stock tensioner has always treated me right (and thousands of others for over 40 years) I cant help being a gear head & I work in automation so any system that employs idler gears over friction tensioners is good engineering in my book :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I can only imagine how far a fully setup kameari L series would revv... Probably not further than mine.Or a Rebello motor or a BSR motor. I just finshed perusing their website.I haven't seen such a collection of over-priced snake-oil in a long,LONG time.Aboslute bullcrap aimed at the in-experienced. Quote Link to comment

Yeah probably not worth it. Still .. their chromoly rocker arms look slick. Quote Link to comment
