Plenty of interesting bikes on here Rob
Im trying to get them to do a bit on drag racing, an possibly turbo bikes. Trouble is it needs to be magazine relevant, they do a bit of older stuff but mainly like newer sports stuff.
Im working on it

I will speak to Bruce about it. They are always looking/asking for specials to feature

They'll have to pixelate your face out in the article Rob.
That would be cool. Haha

Ok boys and girls, we will have someone from Practical Sportsbike Magazine coming along on the day, they are also going to give it a mention in the mag as well and hopefully a little feature on the Dyno Day.
Hopefully its not Jim lol

I know im not running big power, ive had no issues at all using the stock internal wastegate. I have just swapped the actuator for an upgraded one. I use a simple variable electronic boost controller that just restricts the flow to the actuator to set my boost. Never had any boost creep issues at all.

Always run 180/60s on mine. The chain just brushes the tyre,the torque arm needed a tweek too.
Never had an issue though.
Helps remove the bobbles from the edges

Cheers Rob,
Just got it back from the bike show in London, Practical Spurtsbikes borrowed if for their stand over the weekend
(Excuse the shite in the background)
I'm hoping that with some fresh fuel (and not the half and half fresh and premix i put in it the other day ) it should start and do what it's supposed to do now i've sealed the float bowl tee's and put the choke bar stopper on
Fingers crossed mate. Trip to a good dyno on the cards?

Very cool. Cant wait to see how it performs

Same as Jonny i use them more for peace of mind, i check valve clearnces regularly so its no extra work keeping on top of the tensioner too.
State of tune imho has no real effect on the tensioner, pretty much hardest its going to work is revving the engine in neutral as thats when it will pickup the revs quickest.

I have a set-up question for you experienced racers what's the recommended static sag front and rear for a race bike???
Your input is much appreciated
Ive always gone for 20-30mm front and 10-15mm on the rear

Good luck trying to get the sprocket offset sorted, 10mm difference between oil cooled and busa/TL/srad/k-series wheels.
Can be done on 5.5 wheels, think chain run will be touch and go on 6"
And personally if your planning on big power and torque I wouldnt trust the thin dymag carrier area and silly little doughnut cush drives to be up to the task, especially if machined down

Not all the oil ways have copper washers the outside one's are steel.
Ahh thats it, seal to stop oil leaking out on the studs that run externally, and domed nuts to stop it too. Knew it was somthing like that.

I'd say yes - use them. With GSXR's there are copper washers fitted (obviously for some peculiar reason!) which the APE nuts can't substitute! + it stops the nuts galling on the seating within the head.
Copper washers are on the studs that the oil ways pass up. Softer and Makes sure they seal properly and not bleed oil pressure off iirc

Count me in mate. Should have somthing working by then

Doesn't the 1157 ECU/CDI require a resistor in the ignition circuit or a Blandit 12 ignition switch to work?
Yep

Personally I always use JJC race and rally, there APS coolers are as good quality as earls and HEL but loads cheaper.

Nice drawings, You know that the DOT head and GSXR 1100 head got the same valve size?
Yeah, i said they had same valve size earlier. 750 and 1100 dont have the same bore size though.

Thats me booked on the Classic Suzuki day and the PS day in Sept.
Cant wait

Granted this i a bit exagerated and it probably doesnt have a huge effect in reality, but its still quite a difference using a head made for a 73mm bore on an engine thats 79mm bore or 81mm, i would still much rather have a ported and skimmed stock head over a Dot head.

Ok no firm opinion here but I asked this on another thread once
"Question I've been meaning to ask would you not have to machine out the squish band to match the new cylinder diameter?
I would think the sharp edge would create a hot spot in the chamber"
And I got the reply
The squish isn't any different to an 1100 head, the chamber is shallower though which raises the compression ratio.
The edge of the squish band is the only place in a combustion chamber you want a sharp edge, the turbulence it creates mixes the air fuel better and reduces the size of the fuel droplets, this creates a faster burn reducing the likely hood of detonation.
If that was the case why wouldnt the OEM make the head like that in the 1st place?
Dyno Day Sunday 21st July

They did a feature on it and what ive done with it a bit ago. Think there going to either do somthing or let me do a piece on Pendine this year.
They are coming round to featuring more interesting older stuff, and stuff people do with their bikes, not just bits on the bike itself.
