    They are shorter and fit the stroke of the 1000. Also maybe people don’t look further than the end of their nose. 

    They are for the same stroke as GSX1000 Katana, GSX1100 Katana, EFE and GS1100G @ 66mm, so I can't see how they are shorter. But if they were, they would be too long for GS1000 @ 64.8mm and would change the rod / crank angle - but that could be a benefit? And can assure you that pro drag racing engine builders look considerably further than the end of their beaks if there are advantages to give an edge! I've no axe to grind either way - just trying to establish correct information.

  2. Did you fill the new oil filter - not actually necessary on a recently running bike  but would present an 'airlock' on one that has been sitting? The GSXR has two independent oil systems driven by a single pump - the one you've disconnected the hoses from is low pressure / high volume oil coolant system. The other is high pressure / lower volume for bearings - crank, rods, cams and gearbox. Easiest access point for this is RHS of engine under the ign. pick-up cover - engine main gallery so will be fairly obvious if now or low oil pressure LOL! PDF's of the Suzuki Workshop manual are around on the net - they are big files -230Mb from memory! You could try backfilling the pump with heavier wt. oil - 20w/50 should be sufficient - fill oil lines and rotate engine backwards via the rotor - one crank turn sufficient.

    I used gasgacinch on my 2mm spacor plate with mk1 busa rods & pistons. It's just like rubber contact glue. Ended up at just less than 8 to 1 comp.

    Yep - thats what I use on copper head gaskets - will be fine on barrel base gasket or use a couple of waxed paper gaskets. if you are still running oil up the studs, some form of sealant is recommended.

    Ok, thanks.

    Funnily enough I mentioned this to Sean @ BigCC yesterday in passing and he whipped out a broken pin that had gone on the dyno! It had multiple pulls and was making 542bhp at failure - it was from a 1000cc bike and 15mm dia! Mentioned 18mm GSX -  his words - 'No problem!'

    1 - Do you need to use 2 base gaskets with the 2mm (0.080) aluminum base plate or do you ditch the base gaskets altogether? The base plate is only needed if I use the Huyabusa rods correct?

    2 - What cylinder wall clearance are people running for the 81mm huyabusa pistons in the Bandit 1200 barrels? Also what ring gap are you using so the rings don't butt under some serious heat?

    3 - Could I resuse the ring set that came with the used Huyabusa pistons? Replacement rings looked to almost be as much as some aftermarket pistons online.

    4 - What is the maximum advance of the stock ignition? assuming the ignition is too advanced to be safe under boost what kind of cheap solutions are out there for retarding the ignition?

    5 - I'm trying to build the bike on a tight budget 

    1 - doesn't a 2mm gasket just put you back to regular compression?

    2 - No reason to run much bigger than stock Blandit in either case.

    3 - You could provided they are going into fresh bored barrels - if not - replace

    4 - The stock ignition advance is ok for off and low boost applications 6-7psi But what you need is a way of retarding it at higher figures, that means smarter ignition system. Could slot the timing plate but that just compromises the timing EVERYWHERE!

    5 - Oh Dear ! That rarely works or results in a successful outcome. From past experience - set your budget ......... and double it!

    Hi looking for help been told cb1300 and 1200 bandit exhaust system fit is this correct thanks 

    Don't know about the CB13 but Bandit being GSXR based will. Going the other way ie. GSX on to GSXR won't usually! 4-1 bandit exhausts can be ugly suckers though, low hanging and lop sided.

    Kent SUZ1 inlet. stock exhaust.  can t remember the timing figures.

    Fcr41 carbs, micron 4-2-1 exhaust.  ignitech ignition with quite a lot of advance.

    Wow - seems my 1186 motor making 144hp wasn't too bad! M head with only port clean up, 36mm CV's, Dynojetted, std cams, Dyna 2000 and a 4-2-1 one off pipe set and V&H Supersport can.

  8. They are really only meant for 1/4 mile use - most won't even get ridden down to the start line or back from the top end due to heat build up! Bimbling around - even slowly off boost - builds heat where it can't be got rid of. IMO - leave solid dry blocks to dragstrip use only!

    I meant as in the various air cooled ones, but i guess a car one will be same principle.

    Fairly unlikely! If crank has roller bearings it has low pressure / high flow oil system so the pressure switch triggers with just about 1psi pressure whereas a shell bearing crank - 750ET, GSXR or most cars will run with 30+psi pressure but light is triggered as low as 5psi. As the switches do nothing but turn off a light, alternative switches will work but fittings are particular to the oil system!

    How about the oil leak though? Pretty sure the union between the solid pipe and flex is gone. Anyone know anyone that makes them? Ive had second hand ones before and they're usually knackered.  Can get a new cooler kit but £££

    If you take the stock hoses to a hydraulics place - Pirtek for example - they could make up complete new hoses, they will look 'industrial' but should be cheap enough!

  11. Good pictures but fairly extreme for 'home porting'.  All depends on use, ie. the above good for competition but epoxy work and shortened guides IMO really not good idea for a road bike long term. I've  cleaned up a few heads - car and bike, and can't give conclusive improvement results as this work was usually done with other improvements not independently! Only advice i'd offer is don't go mad removing metal, just clean off flash and mold lines, blend manifolds / gaskets / ports to each other, semi rough grind finish to inlet port - exhaust can be more polished, watch out for the valve seats as easy to 'kiss' with the stone then they'll need cutting !

  12. Don't really keep note of miles or age - just change when required. I guess using all the power all the time, chain life could be measured in days not years LOL! I think i've got a DID X ring chain at the moment but that's fairly low miles.
