i am not coming down on him hard i don't think. i just said i like better customer service. i believe RB engine are among the best built and i am sure he is working hard to get it together. he should at least have someone to answer the phone and emails and even read this forum and respond to questions. i will say no more, just wanted to put in my 2 cents.

same here. I love the RB motors. i just bought another one

my problem is that they closed there forum and there is no one providing support for the product anymore.

it used to be if you havd a tuning problem or any other problem, you could go to the RB Forum and ask a question. Rody would always give you the right answer.
Now there is no one there to answer the questions
their forum was one thing that made them such a great engine producer

it still wont stop me from buying an RB. but it might sway me to look at other brands in the future

What is sad about it? I dont care what all he has going on, he can answer his phone and answer emails if he wants to keep selling motors. Like Randy I have called and sent countless emails to them in the last couple of months and finally got ahold of somebody after 50 tries. If you cant do better than than there is an issue. "Sad", dont think so

How is the new line of motors? I was all gun and ready to grab a WS7III to find out its no longer made :lol: they changed the number system on me. I was thinking of picking the S3 up now, to get me started and get my feet wet again, and then move to like the S7/S9 , but not sure. every place i looked , there on backorder.

The WS7 iis now the WS9. Smoothest engine i've ever had!

I have the Hobby 9 5port and its a very smooth engine!!:tire::tire: Holds a tune well and runs well at around 240-260. I have one gallon through 25% Byrons with the original plug still in it. RBs are great engines!!! The Hobby 9 is perfect for someone on a budget who wants good power throughout.

A few questions about the 9 series.

It is still NovaRossi Based right?

Has anyone tried to fit the 9 series parts into the "s series" s3,s5,s7,ws7?

That is one thing I love about the s series is that all the parts are interchangable. It would be awesome if the 9 series parts would fit the older s series line.

It may be the same. The carb settings are the same as the S series ( 3 1/2 HSN 5 LSN). I have an S3 that is an absolute pleasure to run.

I would just about all the new "9 series" parts are interchangable with their prior models. Some of the new parts are things like orange aluminum carb pinch bolts and lighter low profile heads with less fins.

Hey Jud I forgot to show you today I got a RB 2045 w/192mm header. By far the best pipe combo I have ran on my C6's. Worth the money in the performance you gain.

Who has the New B9??? I loved my C6's and I am wanting to try the B9 now. Hopefully someone has been runnng one for atleast a few gallons, I am interested in what you have to say.

Thanks

That's the short header? I had that 2045 and I sold it with the s7 I had:(. Damn should have kept it.

I have a RB WS 7 III that is do for a con rod replacement. I cannot remember whether the solid portion of the wrist pin faces the exhaust or intake side of the piston. Any help would be much appreciated!

Rick

When i open the rear plate on my usa spec i can see the RB logo on the rod dont know if that helps you

thanks that clears that up :smile:

Thanks Buggydad. I was looking more at the wrist pin configuration. If you look at the wrist pin it has a hollow side and a solid side. I need to know which way it faces when assembled correctly. You can look through the exhaust port and tell. I took my apart and forgot how it goes back together!
