[Italianeze Technoloy]

how did it go on the dyno mate, what sort of bhp did you see?

brave move using the standard loom, i was dicking about with mine and couildnt get over how thin guage a load of wires on it were.

i also found a few that were broken inside the sheathing...they were fun to find...not.

[shock differences, or not gsxr600/750/1000 busa etc]

yes i know but i was wondering if the ohlins shocks  for gsxr 750/1000 fitted hayabussas

[shock differences, or not gsxr600/750/1000 busa etc]

Hi 

Anybody know if shocks are interchangable between say gsxr 1000 and hayabusa?

thanks

i look forward to seeing how you modify it, good luck, great find.....

[1052 road tuning]

i am not certain but i doubt the bandit carbs would fit the std airbox, so i would go with a set of mikuni rs36 flatslide carbs, a decent exhaust, like the hindle, and a good flow/port of the head to let it breath.

the cams wont make a hugely noticable difference for the money, but if you insist, go with a set of kent "fast road" profile cams.

i wouldnt bother skimming the head or bigger valves, the returns are minimal compared to the cost

[Cable clutch conversion slabby 1100]

can i ask, whats the benefit of a cable clutch over the hydraulic one, out of interest?

[will a vin tell paint color/]

just as an aside, the paint codes listed will draw nothing more than confused looks from most paint shops.

13L is a Mazda colour, for example, unless its a specific bike painters you wont get far.

Nope, that's clearance for the primary gear. 

Doh! 

 

cheers for clearing that up, in all the years ive had these ive never even noticed before, worra nugget eh ? 

[liner material removal to reduce pumping losses]

I feel it's worth doing. I must admit that I'm also doing it because a liner has a very smalll bit of damage, way below the piston contact path, and it was only when I looked at it I remember, I think pdq, or some other reputable tuning company do it and mention it was well worth doin tbh.

[liner material removal to reduce pumping losses]

Too true.

I remember reading an article years ago about it and said tuner deemed it worthwhile, so I'm gonna do it.

Thanks for your answers.

[Spondon no 10]

looks good, just needs a bit of a trim at the front maybe

 

[B12 Mk1 and Mk2 barrels the same?]

ive been waiting for a parcel sent on the 12th. my sympathy for them is going down the drain......get back to work you lazy caaaaaants

[liner material removal to reduce pumping losses]

hello, Way back in the midst of time i remember reading about some tuning houses  "windowing "the bottom of the barrel liners, in an attempt to reduce pumping losses. 

This usually involved  die grinding, i presume,  material off the  liners, below the travel of the pistons, between 1 and 2 cyl and again between 3 and 4.  this was in the shape of a sort of square/rectangle, with rounded corners iirc.

AFAIK, the idea was to reduce pumping losses and, allegedly, it did in fact help with power increases, although it was pretty marginal .

Anyone ever done thisor have any direct experience of what was involved, amount removed etc.

 

Cheers

[barrel interchangability. gsx-f, gsxr, bandit, slabbie.]

Good information, thanks. 

I'll have to get looking for a decent set of barrels without the usual chipped fins etc.

[barrel interchangability. gsx-f, gsxr, bandit, slabbie.]

thanks fellas

[barrel interchangability. gsx-f, gsxr, bandit, slabbie.]

anyone?

[barrel interchangability. gsx-f, gsxr, bandit, slabbie.]

hi, im on the hunt for a set of barrels / pistons for a project, its a gsx-f 1100 engine. 

just wondering what else fits it?

i think slabby ones are shorter arent they?

 

anyone know?

[TL1000S Shock Conversions]

r6 shock also works iirc

 

[Mk1 bandit 1216 rebore]

Any recommendations for reboring?

Sorry for the hijack

I just made the same mistake by following the APE stud installing method which says the torque the studs into the block meaning they will bottom out which leads to not enough thread for nut to go on. Against my better judgement, I didn't run the washers and ended up with a blown head gasket. Don't go there

so the studs are obviously too short if torqueing them down means not enough thread left up top?

or are you running spacer plates etc?

if not then whats the answer? Maybe threadlock the bottom studs, but dont torquue them,  leaving enough thread up top? im asking because i have a set of these to install at some point/#?
