Ive used hundreds on maxxecu turbos and probably had 1 fail, and that was user error not the turbo, but the 25 and 28 and very aggressive turbo's

Crankshaft ?

From what I read is that Maxpeeding is a brand to stay away from..

Pictures or it did not happened

Even at idle the vibration is noticable, fairings shake quite a bit and after a hard ride i get tingling in the palms from the vibration

Sorry mate gsxr 92 1127 with 750 ported d ot head and rs38 carbs with 55mm velocity stack, adjustable cam sprockets set to 105/105 on degree wheel and 40 degree on dyna 2000 all other mods are external to the engine

First day on the track, suspension works well, handling is good, brakes are good. There were some minor problems with the engine, it runs too lean at part throttle and the clutch slipped at first because the cable adjustment changed as the new parts broke in. After I adjusted the cable and went to the track, the clutch cable lock pin fell out. I'll fix the problems tomorrow and go back to the track on Saturday. I also need to lower the foot pegs a little and adjust the gear pedal.

Hey all Swapped a tired gs1000g for a gs1100 figured be Straight forward and carbs would work off 1000g Removed 1000 Carb rubber as rubbers on 1100 seemed quite hard and.... see pics Once off the 1100 rubber Fitted fine but I'm wondering if they ever so slightly angle different plus the hole different diameter Guess I'm looking for gs1100 carbs

I used this from the local cheap shop on the turbo motors block over 5 years ago still looks good I doubt its Petrol resistant but for £2,50 a can

You don't say what bike or whats suddenly changed "aside from cam timing" but OEM bars and footrests often have weights in them to help absorb vibrations

Last time when I was buying these the OEMs were cheaper than the viton ones. My parts dealer who has plenty of experience about these engines told that the viton seals are good but not worth of extra price compared to OEM. So with these prices I would be tempted to try the viton seals. I have had mixed results with other non-OEM seals. Some have been fine, some have hardened or popped off after relatively short use.

Cam chain tensioner ?

OEM are very expensive - the Suzuki performance ones are half the price.... the ones in the motor are green...

Found the simoniz vht and engine enamel to both be shite. Not petrol or even oil proof. B&Q bbq paint lasted far better

Running this on the Moto Martin Turbo Project now it's a bit of overkill but wasn't up to the job on the 1500cc Turbo EFE motor.

I’m off tomorrow all the way oop north to Caldwell for a track day Friday, it’s a classic one for my Trumpet, but a class for modern road bikes as well I’d forgotten how much I like my Bandit anyone else going

Chain was touching the bottom frame rail where it curves round from below the swingarm arm mount to the back bottom engine mount I had fitted a small nylon roller to the bottom rearset bolt as a jockey wheel which I had extend but it was too high did the job to push it around last weekend when I took it to the 1000 bike revival show at Mallory Park. I set about making a new lower rearset backing plate to mount a jockey wheel to a bit lower I decided to use an old skateboard wheel as it spins better than the other one I first fitted I've als run this skateboard wheel before on a different setup. Seems to work quite well when spinning the back wheel round by hand.

I've been using that stuff since the 80's , still a go to for me . The silver one is a good match for the original colour . Yes TBH it's not 100% petrol resistant until it's been through a few heat cycles but is very scratch resistant . If you have the engine in bits then a gentle heating in the oven to cure it whilst the wife is out works wonders , or I've learnt to put a rag under the carbs when rebuilding to catch spills . It's relatively cheap esp if you buy it from someone like Euro Car Parts rather than Halfrauds . & Trago Mills .....yes one of my late father's fave places ...they used to give pensioners a pound back on Thursdays back in the 90's
