Hello to all.
Had my 13 for about 12 years, Its a US import to the UK.
I wandered into this site while I was looking for information on HHO for bikes. There are some interesting bikes on show here, so I registered.
If anyone has any experience with HHO support on motorcycles that they would be happy to share, please contact me. This big Kawasaki could do with a little help eeking out the fuel these days.
I have had some recent success with HHO on my diesel van, getting a 15% increase in mpg. I know that with a little work I can double that. So the bike is going to be my next HHO project for over the winter.
Give me sunshine......

Hi Eddie

Welcome. To be honest I had to look what HHO stands for. If I understand correct you are basically trying to convert the big zed towards Propulsion with hydrogen ?

Never heard of that again before, will be interesting to get to know detaisl.

And of course: please let us have pics, coz' a Picture says more than a thousand words.

best regards,

Thanks for the welcome.
Regarding HHO, I,m not trying to run the kwaka on hydrogen alone. I am supporting the regular fuel with hydrogen. The basic principle is that a proportion of fuel enters the exhaust unburned, energy is lost and wasted . By adding a measured amount of hydrogen to the mixture, the fuel is forced to burn completely. More power, less revs, more mpg. There are other benefits too, such as a cleaner engine.
I am still new to all this but as I said I have had a significant saving from my van, and that was with a cobbled together piece of equipment. I am currently building a more efficient and reliable device which should give better results. After that I want try it with the bike. My biggest problem will be where to locate the HHO generator without taking up my luggage space.
I am a way off yet but I will keep you posted

Hi Eddie,

Welcome to KZ1300.COM!

I like the looks of your trimmed down Voyager. I have a similar, though infrequently worked upon, project bike.

Yes I'd sure like to hear more about your project as you get into it. Do you have any links to the technology, or is it your own?

Welcome!

Hi Bill
I dont have the first clue how to post links (I'll find out), but if you search HHO in youtube there are a lot of vids on the subject, particularly Hho connections, who have a series of helpful vids detailing in simple terms how everything works,and how to stay safe. also a Hho search in ebay will show you just how available this stuff is becoming.
The technology is very old, and very interesting. It is simple and completely safe if built with care. There is no stored hydrogen anywhere because you are using the gas as you are making it. It seems to work better on older vehicles, and definately did work on my 10 year old diesel van, which I am currently working to improve.
I searched last night on youtube and found a number of videos of hho support on bikes, so I am inspired to take a serious look at it this coming winter.
Take a look and have a go. Everyone needs to know about this.
