JK1

I also cut the tank bottom from newer gsxr. I replaced the pump with Wallbro, and made a "dummy" regulator with a lathe. Then I used a external reulator and added a return line . http://koti.mbnet.fi/jk11/kuvat/turbo-s/IMG_7931.jpg

Heres how the bike looks now.

Ok, problem solved. The plate under the cylinders was too thin (1,5mm). I changed it back to 2,0mm and now the engine sounds great! I also checked the whole engine and everything was ok. J

Heres a new clip: I used a stetoscope to listen to the engine. The sound is coming from #1 cylinder head exhaust side but also from crank, same side... I guess I must open the f**ing thing... J

That was not it... I´m starting to think that maybe the 1,5mm plate uder the cyliders is too low? The one it had last summer was 2,0mm. I checked the piston height but.... The other thing that has changed from last summer is the ignition... The bike starts better than before, but the idle is a little wavy. J

That was it:

Thats what I´m hoping for I just tightened the bolts yesterday, but there may be some gasket thats not seated properly.. I´ll have to check.

Some strange noise : Can anyone identify what it is?

It wasn´t..

Finally first start this summer! Now the bike has VAG cop-coils, and the engine seems to run ok. Still a few wires missing, gas tank leaking etc, but I hope the first ride is not too far away

Ignition trouble!!!! No spark with the current setup, and everything should be correct. So I bought 4 VW COP-coils, they don´t need anything else between the coils and ecu. Now I´m still waiting for the correct connectors to arrive. Looks like its july again before the bike is back on the road

Subframe ready: This is how the bike looks currently. Fork covers still need paint and the wiring needs some modifications. The bike now has COP-coils and we are going to replace some connectors. Sorry about the picture, its quicker to do some photoshop cleaning than cleaning the actual garage J

Slow progress as usual The bike is on its wheels: And I got the shiny parts painted: Still a lots of little things to do. J

Got the subframe done: That wiring harness freaks me out every time because its so huge I need to dent the bottom of the tank to get it routed I was thinking about putting tubes on the both sides of the tail, for batteries and for the water/methanol -mix but I guess the wiring takes the other side. I´ll just cover that up, and make a new container for the CH3OH/H2O under the seat.. I also tinkered with thw fork shrouds: J

..but maybe not mine I got this from my idol Steffen There is always something I hate in my self made tails, so this time I´ll try if someone elses looks better. I need to make a new rear subframe, of course, so I may f**c it up anyway.. I also got this: It´s also designed by Steffen, http://street-machines.net/ The frame and wheels are at the powdercoaters. J
