Yes BudoHead is meant to be about Martial Arts but as things happen to be, I also love motorcycles, so I have subjectively decided to talk about them. The few things I know about bikes, what I had a hard time figuring out or just pieces of info that are difficult to find should sonner or later populate these pages.

  • Tires specs
    At first the meaning of the numbers that define a tire dimension may not be obvious. So here are some explanations.

  • Carburetor tuning
    ...is kinda complicated, have a short tutorial?
    There are typically three elements to consider:
       The pilot jet is the key player up to 1/4 throttle
       The jet needle comes into action between 1/8th and 3/4 throttle
       The main jet from 3/4 to full throttle [more]
