Neat little project! Couple of things: for that scallop operation, use a ballnose or a bullnose endmill with a small radius. Makes for a much nicer surface with steps 5 times larger. On that adaptive on op 1, leave about 0.05mm of axial stock to leave, then clear it up with a flat toolpath using about 70% stepovers. That way the deflection of your tool doesn't leave those marks. From an aesthetics perspective that obviously doesn't matter too much with the red dot sitting on top, but if you zoom in the optic is now resting on a bunch of ridges instead of a flat surface due to that deflection. Lastly, I'd split op 2 into two separate setups, where you zero off of the excess parts for op 2 and then just do the facing down to the milled surfaces, so that x and y aren't that critical. Then touch off again on the milled faces for op 3.
Maybe if you gave us real data showing the actual percentage of failures compared to several people on You Tube that have had problems it would be of value. Anecdotal data is emotion based and should not be used in making any kind of decision.
Ohhh man, that SPETools endmill packaging is WAY too familiar. You use their 3 flute 1/4" ?? I've beaten that to hell and back, enough that I damaged my CNC router, but it's still working GREAT
I ride my 2022 300xcw TPI on the street as well. I’ve never tried to adjust the power valve and I thought that might be the problem but there is like no cruising. Either I’m on the pipe or not and when I’m not it feels broken up and choppy. Another problem is it seems like it doesn’t like to rev out. When it gets high in the band I feel like it breaks up. The bike has less than 50 hours on it. I’m going to try to mess with the power valve to see if that changes anything but after seeing this I think I might buy a sensor just to have it on hand in case the valve doesn’t fix the problem. Any opinions on the bike not reving out?
I had one of these a loong time ago. 2008 300 EXC, almost new. Powerfull and nimble bikes. That has always been what why I like ridin' motorcyles so much. I've ridden a 900 touring the last 5 - 6 years now, but I always look back from time to time, and dreaming of having a second nimble + powerfull bike with an eargasm sound. And the 250/300 fits that role perfect. Bad negatives sides with these bikes are fuel economy, not the cheapest bikes to buy or maintain so it's the smart choise.. But.. It's the fun choice! Whitout a doubt😀😍
Sweet build man! What did you do to your suspension??? I have a 2015 fe501s. Cranking down the preload on the shock helps. Trying to figure out what can be done to the front. Thinking stiffer spring, heavier oil, and dropping the triples a bit. What do ya think???
I have a TPI supermoto like the guy in this video, no problems at all with power delivery so far, however, over the last couple of rides the exhaust note has changed and makes a terrible metallic sound. Any idea what that could be? Bike has very low hours and I ride it carefully
Hey man, haha I am actually a car guy. Got me a R32 Skyline with a fully forged RB25/30 so happy to see you come into the scene. But if you thought TPI was bad, you are entering a rabbit hole with JDMs. Pure money pit! Hence why I got into bikes. Anyways, I am so bummed for you. Those problems with TPI scare me. But I might just buy a used with low hours and upgrade those parts to something more reliable. Keen to see your journey
@@SUPERMOTIVE That makes more sense! I am going from riding a CBR 650R to a KTM 300 EXC 2019 (soon to be super Moto). Was is worth it? I am having some doubts because I ride often and I know ill rack up heaps of hours and miles
@@MrHardbodies I ride an FE501 now, I did really enjoy this bike though. I think it’s worth it, I have another video on my channel where I did a review on the bike after 40 hours of supermoto use
@@SUPERMOTIVE I’ll watch it for sure. I have just one more silly question. Does 40 hours of riding feel like a long time? I feel like I can do that in one month? 😅
I got beta 300rr supermoto road legal carburettor had it 2years good so far. Best mod I ever did for RX7 I have 20 years ago was it Microtech computer bigger injectors and run Motul 710 in the fuel tank was very reliable
