  1. have a aquired a GSX 1200 Inazuma, there´s not much info around for these engines.

    AFAIK the engine is the same a s the first Bandit 12 mill, but with different carb boots and smaller carbs fitted from factory for more low end response.

    Has anyone here tried to fit Bandit 12 boots and carbs with good results ?

    because there's only 1 or 2 degrees of angle to them, if you're one or two degrees off straight putting them in it means that the steering head will be off vertical by ~ 0.0001 degrees - there's not a fucking frame on the planet that's not further out of straight than that.

    but what sense do they make then, if there´s only so few degrees ?

     

    @Zepp: what you describe is the picture from Viz, but my comment was for the eccentric bearing set.

    I got my 89 as a 22K mile non-running bike that sat for many years. The engine turned over with a charged battery. A compression test was performed and there was low compression. A leak down test was performed and it the intake valves seems to be the problem.

    Well - i would suggest getting it running, and the check valve clearances again, as it´s likely rust on the valve seats that prevent the valves from sealing correct.

    Have seen that many times  - so always get the engine running first to clear of rusty valve seats (which will show close valve clearances), and THEN adjust tappets, not vice versa

  4. a mate of my uncle has a  DIY race car running the 1/4 mile, he need´s to heat up the engine oil before a sprint, then runs the 1/4, and afterwards the engine is cold, that´s how much energy the methanol draws.

    It´s a NA engine

  5. Pretty obvious it was for a dragbike, so you can move the front wheel back as much as possible, and then get the rear out as far as you can, while still maintaining the given wheelbase
