by the year 2020 they expect to reduce hydrocarbons in dirt bikes by 90% :eek:

They should first worry about those da*m diesel trucks that shoot the black smoke out. If it dosen't benefit the Gov. they don't give a sh*t.

well you have to look at the contents of the smoke, diesel exhaust doesnt have as many toxins in it as gas exhaust

That's very true, you may think diesels pollute more but they actually don't. Diesels are more fuel efficient than gas engines, they are 10-20% more efficient than gas engines.

you dont even have to get them emission tested.

I don't even know what to think about that post :huh . I think we need less meth-addicts on this site!

I wonder if they'll ever come out with a performance diesel small engine for quads/dirtbikes? I know of a company that makes nice small engines that work well for go-karts, the company is called Kabota if anyone has heard of them?

diesels are high torque, low speed engines, they are meant for running large equipment that require alot of power. they would be horribly expensive also, an injection pump on a mid sized cat engine is about 6-7 grand, and thats just the injection pump! but it would be much smaller and there would only be 1 or 2 cylinders also. I think that some company does make a diesel utility quad-like machine, I dont remember who made it though.

The EPA is one whole LIE. They do more harm than good. I'm taking a International natural resource management (205) class and my professor has proven to us that we (humans) have nothing to do with the "Greenhouse effect" and the "depletion of the ozone" These ideas are completely false. I know its weird why would they tell us this hell they told me my freshman yeah the other story but hey face it most schools are liberal and there aren't many conservative teachers out there luckily i got one and it all makes sense, plus he backs it up with proof. Remember this:
Environmentalist paritaily select information not the hole story and 2nd they have their Iron Law of Environmentalism-Predict something close enough in the future to scare and far enough away so that when it doesn't happen people will have forgotten about it.

a diesel quad would be kinda cool. a nice 400cc turbo diesel....mmmm the power


anyone remember the old diesel utility polaris put out for a few years?

by 2006 all bikes are suppose to be 4 strokes most bikes are coming out now 4 strokes trying to totaly eliminate the 2 strokes. well i guesse they will by "o6"

Diesels are bad too guys, do the research. They have high PM and NOx levels. Diesels run most of our shipping, mass transportation, and heavy emergency vehicles. The solution isn't easy and they would shut the country down if they said all old diesel had to be cleaned up. There is a ton of info on the EPA site and if you do read up on diesels you find out about the heavy-duty 2007 diesel emissions regulations. It going to get a lot tougher then it is now and these regulations will happen. Diesels contribute to multiple times the amount of polution then dirt bikes and quads.

you know, i think the EPA is going at this the totally wrong way.

could you imagine how low our emissions problems would be if we made a law that would make manf. only be able to make the little Sbox economy cars in hybrid and diesel formats?

as well as give every truck a diesel option.




imho that would solve most of our problem. but i do agree that it is bullS, because everything is a theory and none of the research is substantial proof

they already have electric busses and chit .they are also doing work in fuel cells which is hydrogen i believe.what pisses me off is that they single out quads and dirtbikes like they are some huge polluters of poison,yes they pollute but no more than a cigarette

I have a friend studying in enviromental science, he says that one volcano eruption is worse then a thousand years of pollution created by vehicles.

I'm glad some people on here stick up for diesel motors. As a farmer and truck driver I see daily how diesel makes the world go round. Your quad was probably delivered to the dealer on the back of a semi. And the food that you eat gets to you because of diesel fuel. The diesel engine is much more effecient than a gas engine. And the emissions are not that different. There are a lot more diesels on the roads though when you start thinking about all the 18 wheelers out there that run 24-7. Diesels have lower hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions, but they do have higher NOx emissions. I hope to have a diesel pickup in the near future. They are so much better than gas, and my dad's new Ford 6.0 powerstroke will run with any stock gasser motor. Give it a few mods, and it'll scream. I know a guy with a 7.3 PSD (powerstroke diesel) with over 1000 ft/lbs of torque, and 500 horsepower. That's a lot of power.:D

as do i, unfortunately id have to move to thailand to get my perfect diesel. ive always loved how much power those things can squeeze and how durable they are

over there you can get chevy colorados(my current truck) with a turbo diesel option.

chucked- funny enough is that, stuff like that should be common knowledge....yet "we are killing this earth" :rolleyes:

Good point chucked! :rolleyes: So should we just stop trying or should we sick the EPA on volcanos? I don't see how your point helps or contributes to anything.

I will haul the ecoterrorists to the closest active volcano in my new turbo-diesel truck, march them out the back with my environmentaly friendly automatic rifle in to the volcano... course I can't be held responsible for the extra ash they create... :rolleyes: :p

Can you imagine a few hundred "ecoterrorists" surrounding an erupting volcano yeilding signs yielding messages about anti-pollution.

no no no, companies will just not be able to make 2-strokes, you will still be able to use them and you will still be able to buy parts for them.
