Damn, 493 Katana rods look beefier.. No idea if that's the case.

Do you know where that intercooler comes from?

I figured that out, but people try to get a proper running bike, gasflowed heads, proper exhaust manifolds, and then screw it all up with a intake manifold like that?

Something different, with the draw through set ups I always see the square intake manifolds. Wouldn't the bike run way better when the intake manifolds runners have smooth bends/runners?

It's not hard to do yourself, you need a press and a copper hammer, 2 dial indicators and a lot of patience

Does a GSX crank fit in a GS crankcase? If yes I can do it, but the postage will make you cry

Installing the case on the tables is not as easy as it might look I think, it has to be on the right angle

Machinein is most likely the better way to go, if set up correctly there's probably less material taken away.. At least it looks better. But you need to have a machine shop what's willing to put some effort in it...

Didn't read any replies... Can't you make the lever on the engine/clutch longer?

All you need is a block of aluminium, a mill and an someone who can weld aluminium... Or am I thinking too simple?

Does Robinjo owns this bike now?

No clue how it goes with a GSX engine, but with my GS engine I had to remove material from the crankcases to allow for the bigger sleeves. I made a disc, one side had the diameter from the stock base gasket, the other side had the outside diameter of the bigger sleeves. Put the disc and the base gasket over/on the crankcases, draw a line on the crankcases, and start removing material with a barrel grinder. This is slow process, took me about an hour per cylinder. With this disc you can also draw lines on the geasket to cut it out to the right size to use it on the cylinders. To cut it out I use nail clippers.

I've got a 1247cc big bore on my GS1000, with mine I had to put some liquid gasket around the sleeves / cylinderblock. The O-rings didn't fit anymore. Used an artist brush to get it where I wanted it. No clue how this is with different brands

No!! I do put grease on the gasket, mostly so it doesn't stick to the engine parts, and hopefully it can be used again... Sometimes it can, sometimes it can't

Some experience from me.. Long time ago I owned a Suzuki DR500, off roader. I wanted to raise the rear, the front was already raised with the USD front forks from a RM250. I sat on the bike, had a mate measure how much the rear dropped, measured the distance from the bolts of the shocks. Made up wooden sticks with the dimensions of the shocks when I sit on the bike.. Made brackets to mount the shocks in at the rear forks. Installed the wooden sticks with the bottom brackets bolted on it. Jacked up the bike that far that the chain still ran freely over the rear forks, and welded the brackets on. To, a little bit, of my surprise this worked perfectly!! I was a bit afraid that with the changed angle of the shocks it would make a difference, but I could neglect this.. I hope this can help you out a bit

I can hardly read it on my computer.. Bit better on my phone.

Oil leak is fixed! Thanks guys!

The print out isn't very clear, printout was clearer on my phone..

How high does yours rev? Didn't look properly... About 11.000 by the looks of it
