  1. Why judge anything? Zero the trip meter - run bike to reserve - work out relative capacities of normal and reserve and you'll have potential range. Just zero trip every time you fill up and you cant go wrong. Never had a fuel gauge and never run out!

  2. Not surprised something melted - you've got two 15A, one 20A and two 10A's in there - they are all supposed to be 10A's!

    Taking that connector wrapped in masking tape as an example, i'd reckon you've got deeper electrical issues to sort first - its why the correct

    rating fuses are needed, they pop - not melt and start fires due to carrying excessive load!

  3. Without a regulator it will def be getting to much fuel from a pump...

    but like has been said you should not need a pump in the 1st place......

    Pics would be good we like piccys .............9_9

     

    Could always use a proper bike pump like older R1 used - interupter style so doesn't over pressure the float valve. If the tap is close to the float height then gravity flow will reduce the less fuel there is in the tank and flow could diminish enough that starvation could occur on a 1260 motor @ WOT?

  4. If you are willing to possibly sacrifice a built turbo engine whilst relying on 'auto tune' then crack on. The AFR swings on a turbo engine

    can be so abrupt that a wideband sensor certainly isn't quick enough to catch it and actually do something about it - average response time

    for a LSU4 sensor is about 1/10 - 1/5 second but if controller is only scanning once per second - the engine is toast. No respectable tuner

    would close loop tune WOT with turbo or nitrous - just too risky! Think of all those guys that say they hear 'pinking / detonation' - that's the death

    knell, damage already happened by then!

  5. The 38mm carbs were fitted with an additional 'PowerJet system' so the fueling could keep up when spinning the motor between 10 - 13,000rpm

    As most won't ever go near those revs 'day 2 day' they could be described as over carb'd - work good on 1100's though!

  6. Forget modern alternatives - virtually no one uses crank mounted rotor / alternators anymore! You may get a GSX ET type but there getting rarer - you'll have a small crank nose taper so later EFE types won't fit. It'd have to be a pretty bad spin to wear enough that the damage can't be filed / polished / lapped out!

  7. haha you are fooled by what you see..........

     

    Turbine housing has a wall welded between output and waste gate hole, wastegate hole is widened.

    The flange has two holes, first welded on the wastegate later on welded the exhaust around it.

    Iff you watch closer you see the wastegate has two 45 degrees bends back tot the turbinehousing

     

     

    Struggling to understand your description! Are you using the std integral wastegate valve hole and routing it internally in the dump pipe and then exit into the external gate? If so, you may suffer with boost spikes - all the twists and turns slow the exhaust bleed off so you get higher boost than the gate is trying to give, so be wary.

  8. TBH ian i suppose it is a bit :$..  but then its only temp for the Bulldog using existing items from another bike which it needs to go back onto.......

    THe Kwak not sell then ? and iis that one of Trevs shifters ..;). i,ve got one of his electric ones someware........but no instructions..

    I know mate - just yanking yer chain! Thought you'd have grown out of the BB or are you in the 'Glamping' bit? LOL

    Yeah its one of Trev's -'kin brilliant with NOS pressure behind it but his redneck electronics crapped out and after 3 attempts to repair it I gave up on him

    and his products - nowt wrong with his soli's but the rest you can shove! Anyway it works just as well with 140psi air - love recycling!

    The Kwak may be going to a new home shortly on HP - watch this space ...............as I need some in the cave!

  9. Its known that the weld up gsxr cranks dont like going much past 180hp. U could build a plain bearing crank up similar to how the gsx cranks are made. Would be a better solution in my eyes

    That doesn't make any sense - firstly GSXR cranks don't need welding - that is unless you are doing the journals to regrind and stroke them. Secondly I know of plenty GSXR cranks that run 180+hp NA that have 100+hp of gas throw in for good measure.......'they' don't break that easily - the other bits do!

    You couldn't press together a plain bearing crank - you'd never achieve acceptable journal parallism without regrinding, GSX's have rather 'sloppy' main roller bearings that accept that tolerance of build.

  10. Obviously it aint cheap, but perhaps it's worth considering getting the crank made?

    That's true - couldn't get a 5mm stroke increase from even a std. fresh cast crank + would probably be too weak even if possible so builder pony'd up for a billet one off. That was about £1800 12 years ago but it was done manually on lathe and mill so the man hours racked up - done now, on a CNC machining centre, I guess the cost could be less.

    Personally if I was doing anything out of the ordinary and needed a one off crank, i'd make it a flat plane design with the big ends all equally spaced and 90 degrees apart - that'd make an awesome engine, perfect primary balance and rev happy!

  11. Not doubting your engineering skill but surely a spline and matching spigot is going to be tricky to clock up and keep the crank throws all at 90 / 180 degrees to each other and include a sprocket? I'd suspect a interference fit pin and socket pressed together a la GSX type will allow a bit of 'mallet' adjustment prior to welding?

  12. Don't want to sound like an angry lawyer but whilst building your own frame is to be admired (providing your engineering, materials and welding are top notch) but 'dimensionally ripping off' a commercially produced item technically infringes makers copyright. The whole point of a self produced frame is its your creation and doesn't rely on critical dimensions from someone elses! These things are created in a jig - you place the engine, configure where the headstock needs to be with proposed forks and wheel and where swingarm pivot needs to be using whatever s/arm and wheel - then glue it all together with whatever collection of tubes you choose. Just saying is all!

  13. That's amusing - flowing more oil to parts that are not relieved to cope will increase oil pressure in the galleries - it won't make diddly squat difference to actual bearing oil pressure! If you are opening up bearing running clearances then i'd agree that increased flow would be beneficial to get back to std. running pressures but conversely loose clearances are not really to be advised - race or not. So it is 'solving' a problem that doesn't exist. I'm sure Suzuki never modified their oil systems in the factory racebikes other than additional cooling.......that says a lot IMO!

    Why would you need 120psi oil pressure at idle - there is little or no load on anything! Saying that he's never spun a rod bearing isn't really convincing - i've never spun one either in any of my stock oil pumped / pressured engines, one of which runs 2 bar boost and 370hp!

  14. Is slabby 750 helical clutch gear, 1100f crank is helical drive gear

    Sods law being what it is and if the oilers are anything like the aircooled motors, the primary gear ratios are different between 750 and 1100. So whatever you choose you'd need the matching basket!
