Was that on a dyno or a bike actually intended to be used for intended purpose? Im pretty sure the OP isnt particulalry interested in a one off for a few seconds

Gen 1 i think mate, standard pistons fit

Not much difference between gsxr and bandit rods iirc. As long as the motor is in good health should be good up to 280-300bhp. Handle 250bhp easy. That said if you want some busa rods Ive got a box full, you can have a set

Cant remember off hand, would have to dig it out and power it up. Bikes been in bits for over a year now

Any particular tyre? Can be quite a big difference between brands. There was a post on here very recently that had bare weights iirc

Ive had no issues with ignitech one, maybe to do with being able to play with the delay time as well as the kill time. Granted its not like a new bike, but its not like oldskool quickshifters either that only work flat chat at high rpm

Not strictly true. Well setup quickshifter will work just as well at low rpm and small throttle openings too. New bike ones are amazing, you can litterally go up and down the box at steady throttle not much above tickover. Granted they do have a bit more controlling them than a fixed kill time.

Try one like mine.

Rather than fanny about with springs etc, working out what does what and then again when the tenperature changes etc, I can recomend something like this. https://rspec.co.uk/boost-controllers-electronic-boost-controllers-c-69_109/52mm-pro-iebc-electronic-boost-controller-bar-p-644.html Leave base pressure spring in that gives 5-7psi. Then you can dial in whatever boost you want above that by flicking a switch and turning a dial. Had mine on dash and could change it easily while riding. Mines been dead reliable for 6 years. Used to be able to find them without the gauge for about £85 if you search.

If your going ignitech, ditch the Dyna coils and go for their COP's too. Its a better option

My best freind? Not really, i just thinkthe whole willy waving over a madeup self proclaimed "world reccord" is absolutely pathetic. And I think your way over estimating the amount of people who are actually impressed. Nobody cares about numbers on paper. Want to impress people, make it a motorbike and use it, do somthing real!

Can almost measure in minutes how long bandit pistons last above 5psi lol. Not so important in Mr Steens world where lasting a few seconds on a non motorcycle dyno and getting a big number to plaster all over the internet seems to be all thats important

Im not carting a box of bits there, will think were an autojumble

I always go for agreed value, means you list all the parts etc and they need all round pictures. Costs a bit more but no way they can dispute what is insured

Just a note to bear in mind on the Q plate thing. Not all Q plates mean you can default to 1971 regulations. If you have a declared year of manufacture on the V5 you need to comply to the rules relevant to that year. I wanted to run black and silver plates on my Harris but technically couldnt because it had a manufacture date in 80's. Ive got another ZXR Q plate frame that has no date, saving that one for special use. Saying that I dont think DVLA, Police or MOT testersactually have a clue exactly what the rules are themselves. I just make sure my insurance company know exactly what my bike is so at least then your covered if anything goes wrong.
