Ah, the soft farting of a diesel engine - in a motorcycle! Now that makes for some cool idling at a stop light!
neat idea, but I think FedGov is going to make diesel uneconomical for small engines, especially at USA EPA emission levels for 010 and beyond
all I saw was the “ama” in Yamaha and I read it as Obama.....I was fuming for a split second....the nerve of the guy......
Jesse James made a trike using a diesel engine from a semi. Initially, he had planned to make a motorcycle but realized that weight of the engine would have made a two-wheeled motorcycle too heavy to return to vertical if it ever tipped. I remember him cackling about the whole project and proclaiming “this is just pointless.” That didn’t stop him though and the resulting vehicle was pretty cool.
Try this:
If you want ON or OFF the DIESEL KnOcK LIST just FReepmail me.....

It makes a lot of sense, since the one time of the year that diesels don’t like to start is the same time of the year that motorcycles are not fun to ride.
I’d get it. As a diesel, if gasoline ever ceases as a produced commodity, making diesel fuel from soybeans would still work.
But, I would love to have a nuclear-powered motorcycle. Only need to refuel every half-life.
Hayes makes a conversion of the KLR650 in diesel already that is being used in USMC.
Their civy version is called the KLR670 Bulldog an gets 110 mpg at 55mph with a 6.5 gal tank !
YAmahahahaha will have to out do that IMO.
