“Cummins engineers have done significant testing of this system to ensure the same dependability, quality and reliability customers have come to expect from our brand,” explained Jim Schacht, executive director, Cummins Global Marine Business. “With more than 10 years of experience applying SCR to Cummins engines in our on-highway and industrial segments, vessel operators can rest assured they have a great product powering their ship.”

Automatic emergency braking worries me even if it doesn’t activate for no good reason. Suppose I’m driving in the outer lane with another vehicle in the next lane at least half a car length behind me. Another vehicle pulls out of a side road or parking place close enough to require action. Knowing that my blind spot is clear, I would abruptly change lanes to steer around it. (A good autonomous control system would make the same decision.) If my vehicle decides to activate emergency braking, I will have precipitated a rear end collision by the vehicle I just cut off. Depending on how hard my vehicle resists the lane change and how poorly its stability system maintains control, I may still run into the obstacle. What should have been an easy avoidance turns into a two or three vehicle wreck. This ain’t good.

Why is there so much enthusiast hate on electronic driver’s assistance aids such as lane departure warning, blind spot warning, adaptive cruise, front and side cameras, etc?

We know that statistically most of us are average. Yet nearly every poster here believes that they are a far above average driver. Which is statistical nonsense. Cognitive dissonance, at work.

Q: With the engine idling, how long does it take to consume a gallon of gasoline? I’m asking because I wonder if shutting off the engine at stoplights actually saves anything or if it is simply hype.

And here’s the truth: The technology simply isn’t ready for prime time regardless of how much some people may want it. I have a number of friends with different brands of cars who have experienced false positives with their automatic braking systems. As in, the car slammed on the brakes when there was no imminent collision. One system goes crazy when it sees oncoming cars in the other lane.

The scorched 3-4 clutches (right) are what typically fail in a 700R4 if the TV cable is not adjusted properly. Thousands of innocent 700R4’s have died because of poor TV cable tuning.

WhisperPower and Torqeedo have collaborated to develop a generator specifically designed as a back-up battery charger for vessels equipped with a Deep Blue Hybrid electric propulsion system.

His story has been covered on GM-Trucks.com, but I got in touch with him to get a more detailed account.

1. Gearing. Last year, we switched the stock 48-tooth rear sprocket for a 49. For 2019, Yamaha adopted the “add one tooth on the rear” solution.2. Cheap R&D. Honda, Kawasaki, KTM and Husqvarna built new bikes; Yamaha changed the wheel spacers and fork lugs and made the biggest improvement they’ve made in years to the steering response. Thanks to the axle lugs, it doesn’t wiggle at turn-in.3. SSS. Yamaha has the best coil spring forks in the biz. Heck, they have the best forks, coil spring or air, in the biz.4. Reliability. Nothing is as reliable as a Yamaha YZ450F. It will last forever.5. Wi-Fi mapping. You can remap your 2019 YZ450F with your iPhone. We run the Travis Preston map. You can see the Travis Preston maps below.
