Will head scratch . cheers

hi all . Dyna s install cylinders 1 and 4 timing marks clear on plate Vertical line then T , Vertical line then F , 1.4 then vertical line. | T | F 1.4 | static timing onto vertical line next to F done however - marks for cylinders 2 and 3 - only marks on back plate are one vertical line followed by 2.3 with no other vertical lines | 2.3 Dyna s unit came with modules undone, and want to get cylinders 2/3 firing time correct. Any pointers?

Yep done all the usual checks , carbs bang on . and knock stays when clutch in . Leave engine until cool and knock disappears - most annoying !!

hi all. seemed to have picked up a knock when engine hot. no unusual noises when engine cold. any ideas ?? or experiences of same 1170 et

Anyone able to make some of these mounts up - for dollar ?

some great advice I recon . And v useful pictures . Big thanks

Hi all - been a long time . So without spending £300 - can anyone recommend an oil cooler to suit my 1170 et . I have a 1150 cooler kicking around but it looks a bit small for the job . I have the correct cover to suit oil re-routing from front of engine etc etc .

EFE D CAMS PRESUMABLY LIKE HENS TEETH. ANYONE HAVE THE SPEC OF THEM

anyone had experience with the two types available from kent cams - street type and race type.

time for some new camshafts into the 1170ET. Plenty to choose from - so some advice required please. am running rs mik 36's , standard newish valves, good condition rockers, foam filters, mid range stacks. Any experience advice out here please. Am not looking to make it go bang .

Cannot find any fault with the gasket - but will be changing . ( wiesco metal type - faces were machined flat about 3000miles ago , and still check out flat ) have now however noticed - worn rear cam guide - which would I think explain the noise at temperature . And the rings on the cylinder in question look to have slid round to be in line . I set them up at opposites on the original build . Going to use the opportunity to replace both cam guides and give the valves and Pistons etc a bit of a shine . fingers crossed the decoke and ring spin will perhaps deal with the comp . Anyone else had ring gaps line up to do this ?

Yep clearances were the first thing after compression check . Cheers

Cheers kikat . I shall give him a shout .

Yep already in that process . Valves good , barrels good , rings good , small ends good , big ends feel good . The hunt continues !!

Hi all . I see there are several suppliers / prices out there for rocker arms . I have tried on here to get some good used but no joy . So am thinking I may push out the boat on an engine I am building , and go new . Any recommendations please on suppliers / experiences . Cheers berty

Fuck bugger shit !!!!!!! Coming home tonight and hmm a funny top end noise . A mile from home ,so off and push . let her cool right down . Fired up fine - no funny noise at all . But soon as up to temp - noise back again . just done a compression test - 1.156 2.155 3.95 4.158 wet test taken no3. Up to 125 so recon busted ring . any thoughts from any others had this experience . gsx1168 et

Same brakes . 750 forks 35mm, 1100 forks 37mm 1100 frame additional brace across front of cradle . clocks different . wiring loom different but not by much all I can think of ATM

That would explain it . Cheers all .

Vapour blast and keep clean afterwards.

Hi all . Just looking through some old boxes and noticed I have two different types of clutch basket (outer) for an 1100et . One has a complete outer face which houses the plates . And the other has slots down the side for the plate teeth to sit in. Any ideas why there were two types ?? Cheers

Never had much success forcing in seal . So have always split cases to avoid any damage . IMHO

Have a plan now - all will be revealed !!

This is my main concern with lapping. Good to get some views coming back .

Interesting - diamond dust grease. Must admit - have never heard of that .

Yep got a few marks going on !!
