  1. i bring this thread up now, because i´m playing with my big block and would like to fit this in V719 engine cases (Bandit 1200 and Inazuma), which should be a street-sleeper with no external oil lines to the head.

    Is there a preferred model where there is enough meat around the oil feeds, that you don´t break through when machining for big block ?

  2. good evening, is it possible to run the bigger cylinder sleeves with big block (outside diameter 89mm) without getting in the oil gallery on top engine cases ?

    I know it can be done with the the smaller liners (OD approx 87,1 mm).

    Looks really tight to me, oil holes are 4mm and at an angle so probably interfere with sleeve cutout.

    Is it possible to shave off some meat on the #1 und #4 sleeve outside to clear ?

    Any hints and infos ?

    Also: what is the angle of the cylinder relative to gasket mating surface between upper/lower half ?

  3. ;) there is always something to do on hard ridden old bikes !

    I am amazed how you keep the tank stable on the bike, i always take off the two fuel hoses on my Harris, and then lift it off for working on the carbs.

    Have you ever thought about trying EFI ?

    From what i see, you seem to be a really good builder and analyze all problems really well (and consequently fix them), i really take my hat for that - it's what i also try to achieve: analyze/assume/attack the problem

  4. I have a 99 12 Bandit, which has an oil  valve stem problem me thinks  its oiling plug 1&2 when start up from cold, smokes, and plugs fire only when cap is removed/refitted, runs fine then.

    So i think of pulling the head, but as spring is approaching, i dont like to take the whole engine out.

    Is it do-able ?

    Lowering engine required ?

  5. So, the story of me and this bike:

    I live in Austria, close to Vienna, and have always been a fan of motorcycles, especially of  "Specials"

    Someday, this Harris with 750 GSX engine came up for sale in Vienna, completly disassembled, in boxes, but with full Austrian documents to get it on the road (this is very rare).

    I was the lucky one to buy it, and dragged it home, and after a while started to build it up again.

  6. This weekend i made a testrun after carb jetting adjustments, did not pull cleanly before.

    So, the Yoshimura isn't quiet at all, but all of a sudden it started screaming loud, so pulled over to find this:
