  1. I found strain gauge type works well as long as you use strong ident spring and fettle the drum and gearbox, It sort of ignores the different shift points then because its concentrating on the effort to engage rather then the action. I hope that makes sense.

  2. 8 hours ago, dupersunc said:

    My slabbie 7/11 was 182kg with a few litres a fuel. That was race spec on the scrutineers scales.

    Nothing special, all oil cooled suzuki parts.

    Thats pretty dam good really.

  3. As Ian said I would never run that, also turbo motor so use stock crank.

    Slightly different but mate had quacker seize on him big end picked up. He had crank metal sprayed, he's not fast rider at all but I still pulled a face. Not something I'd do. Maybe at work on a big machine thats very slow rpm perhaps.

    Yep it lasted about 2 days.

  4. Slightly off topic but more complete bike weight,  i remember back in the day weighing my pretty stock 1100m apart from light exhaust with 1/3 tank fuel approx and it weighing 245kg. 

    Same bike in Evo form weighs 215kg, but that was probably half tank fuel and with the extra cooler and oil adding bit more weight but still thought it would have been less, that was in road mode too thou.

    They big heavy beasties.

  5. If you look in vault section under UK Lee clutch section you can see simple tool he used of mine that you can make cheaply and easily

    You got rattle gun so it be easy for you.

    Clutch easy job with tools, the pads can rip off easy, bodges are vert short lived, do it properly not like its your daily driver.

    Thats if Ian advice of gentle persuasion does not work.

  6. The point of the 1100 is it torque monster the 750 is rev monster, hence huge difference in red line, hence gearbox has been built to suit. I've seen so many broken 11 gearboxes and snapped dogs off gears myself which was scary so really can't understand why u put weaker gearbox in 11, but peeps do use them on track I personally wouldn't but I understand that can restrict you on certain tracks, depends if racing seriously or just playing too.

    Decide where you want your power, choose ya engine and tune and cam to suit.

  7. Problem with gsxr gearboxes are shift points in different places and different tension in every dam gear. I personally think they horrid gearbox and very weak. A stronger ident spring helps even out tension but does not alter shift points. Blending drum helps a little. I like hm strain quickshifter job,  this is not micro switch design but saying that thinking of using ignitech to try myself on turbo build and noting Greg's results.

    Its a case setting it to suit your bike and what feels good for you.

  8.  Totally agree use new bolts, costs certainly worth it, especially on unknown head. 

    On heads i know, i have never snapped a bolt, but have undoing bolts on  head never seen before I have.

    9 ftlbs is plenty torque.

    Same as the 6mm crankcase bolts old ones can fail too and that proper miserable when you just glued the two halves together.

    To drill bolts out ya cam caps, head off put in pedestal drill.
