    Btw, what's the real difference between locknuts and shims?

    Over-rev a bike with shims and you'll find out! Buzz the motor = valve float = shims pop out / jam = piston and valve party!

    There was a similar topic on face ache recently rupperton mentioned poss coil bind with stock springs and G4 cams ....

    O.o

    That rings a bell - pretty sure I had a G4/G8 combo and std springs in a early 1100 engine - didn't last long as probably bound springs locked the rockers and that took the cams out - looked like a war zone when the cover came off and the cams were somewhat flatter LOL!

  3. That's what you may believe but valve durability is usually down to steel alloy used or construction - more silicon or chromium will improve heat resistance or two part valve with stainless 21-2N or 21-4N head on a non stainless stem usually fares better. No treatments, no hardening, just alloy selection, casting, machining, quenching, tempering and grinding goes to make a valve.

  4. I guess with such large gaps between teeth corresponding with piston accelerations / decelerations through the cycle and there being little 'count down' potential, timing variation is reasonable - Good research though. I remember my install was somewhat 'lumpy' until some revs were gained.

  5. Well happy to say I was wrong! A 4-1 will work - obviously! Re : physically moving the timing wheel position - can this not be achieved in software? ie. set cranking rpm (sub 400 rpm) timing down around 0 degrees or even ATDC?

  6. Just don't see how a 2 tooth wheel would work on a 4 cyl! You'd get 2 spark trigger events every crank rotation and with two, dual ended coils every cylinder would get a spark but couldn't the spark occur in the wrong cylinder at the wrong time? It may work with a single dual ended coil fired twice as often but still not convinced!

    How exactly did you do the cam sync?  Glue a magnet to a cam and drill hole for sensor in the cam cover?  I'm looking at doing exactly this (4-1 wheel + cam sync) when I get my efi up and running

    Just read your post closer - you can't have a 4-1 wheel! The smallest number of teeth must be equally divisible by cylinder number! Hence I used a stock wheel and reduced the big tooth to a small tooth to get a 4-0 wheel which had to have the cam sync even running wasted spark.

    The cam pick-up was easy - drill the cam for a M6 screw, drill hole in cam cover over the screw and add a plate holding a Hall effect sensor. As long as the screw is within 1mm of sensor it works fine.

    I may get round to re-doing my crank wheel - maybe not 36-1 but 24-1 or even 12-1 if only to improve starting response which suffers with only 4 teeth!

    Is there any reason not to use the stock trigger wheel with the big tooth ground off to make a 4-1 wheel.  Of course it has less resolution than a 36 or 24 wheel but if 4 teeth is good enough for OEM surely it must be reasonably workable.

    It can work as that's the set up I used on mine although I used a Motec and it has a cam sensor to sync the timing. I think without the ign won't know where it is and what pair of plugs need to be fired. With the Cam sync the ecu knows where #1 is and will fire the coil on the next crank tooth it sees. The Motec is pretty well adjustable for any triggering set-up considering its age - its operating system is DOS based so its not a new kid! Suzuki obviously use the wide tooth as a precursor to actual trigger point for a particular coil knowing that a short tooth 180 degrees later will be the other coil. With the cam sync I can have full sequential fuel and sparks.

  9. Yeah I think you are missing something - the hybrid motor isn't a common conversion and so isn't called 7/11 frequently. The 1100 engine swop into the 750 frame is the common definition used widely. Now put it into a 750 frame and does it become a 7/7/11 LOL!

  10. If it had dropped a valve it'll run like crap and deffo won't run on 4. Big ends or main bearings possibly? If they've had it then symptomatic of bad oil pressure some time and cams may be fubar'd as well? Until you strip some down you won't know if you need special tools - normal spring compressor usually ok.
