    Hi all, new to the group.

    I’ve recently brought a mk motorsport Martek pikes peak frame. Lovely build quality. Currently running a r6 front end and rear wheel. Looking for a gsxr1100 donor bike.

    So haven't touched the bikes since Anglesey, due to work, family and all the stuff that gets in the way...............O.o

     

     

    When i did the last go on Brian at Anglesey the exhaust was blowing and steering head was a bit loose.!

     

     so tightened up the head bearings and had a look at exhaust, one bolt had somehow fell out and abandoned ship!!!:S

     

    No problem I thought, ive got some new gaskets ill sort it out before my last track day of the year at Castle coombe on the 25th...:D

     

    Doh.!!! who put that head oil cooler there !!!!:$

     

    Never thought about that when i fitted it! bugger

    "Gettin lapped is better than not racing at all" 

    Exactly:tu

    Many many years ago, i started in the streestocks and Unlimited class  on my bog standard B12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i spent the first 6 meetings getting lapped:$

    And the most enjoyable race ever was at pembary when i finished 31st out of 40 but didnt get lapped...  after 5 years my best ever result was 12 th in the sound of Thunder on my TL1000 as the first 6 fell off in a big heap..:)...... its all  a learing curve, keep at it shipmate, i look farward to your race reports.. . :tu

    Not so unusual. I’ve got an engine with 18k on it, and the bores have only .0015” to go!

    I’ve had 25  B12’s or B12 powered bikes and never had a worn bore, except one I bought that I found out later had been left out side with no plugs, and another one that smoked when fired up that had half a ring missing….:tu

    Hi my names Sam and I’ve been having engine problems with my 97 Bandit 1200 ever since I purchase it a few months ago. I’m wondering if someone here can help me as I don’t have a lot of experience in diagnosing engine problems.

     

    When I first purchased the bike it ran good when seller ran it for me so I bought it. As soon as I got it home it ran horribly, hard to start and would barley stay running. I did a compression check on all four cylinders and cylinder 1 came up low at 130 psi while the others were 160 psi and head gasket leaked. When I added oil it shot up to 180psi so I though it must be rings. So I then took apart the engine and installed new rings and new had gaskets etc, also I honed the cylinders with a hone from harbor freight. Reassembled and it ran great and was 160psi across the board. The next time I fired it up it sounded horrible like a cylinder wasn’t firing or something, and would also backfire heavily. I take it apart again and find oil sitting on top of the cylinders. So this time I replace my valve seals as well as cleaning and lapping my valves. Put back together and wow it runs great. Again the second time I fire it up runs terrible again same as before. I look inside the cylinder with a bore scope and yep oil in there again? Anybody have any ideas on what went wrong or what I should do now? Thx

    That dosent sound like oil causing the backfiring???

    could be fuel flooding the cylinder, washing all the carbon off the valves and head and would look like oil through a shufty scope..

    defective float valve  or pilot jet fell out ..

    Had the same when a bandit owner swore blind he had oil coming out of the exhaust headers join, it was neat fuel from a pilot jet that had fell out coming straight through the ebgine and dribbling out the exhaust join

    can you get an IR thermometer and see which cylinders arent firing.. check carb from that cylinder before pulling the head again.. Might be nothing to do with it but easier than top end rebuild??:)

    Ive fitted a few to B12's, it certainly livens them up, first one was years ago ( 2006??) , i got the whole 750 engine for £35 as the gearbox had gone big time. :tu

    I knew nothing about degreeing cams so I juist stuck the cams and head on using B12 sprockets and timing, it worked spot on.....

    I fitted it to the B12 below, had issues with the tap to carb top clearance due to steeper angle, tried spacing tank but it looked pants so fitted a pingle tap and all was well...

    eventually had it Dyno'd, made 138 RWHP B| and accelerated like a mad thing, the midrange was a lot less but what fun when revved....:)

    Dyno man said it would have made a couple more donkeys, if some idiot hadnt cut the Yoshi can down!!!!!!!!!!:$
