Just bought an 1186 kit for my bike

A few of you on here might've seen the Wiseco piston kit and ready bored barrels on a certain bidding web site (I always look for anything interesting) I've just pressed the BUY button - I just couldn't resist it for £400.

Many of you have already fitted kits to your bikes, so it'll be good to join the club.

I just hope that my bike hasn't got a kit fitted already, it didn't show anything in it's partial history, but it does feel very' fit' for what I've done . .

Will be nice to own a GSXR 1186 N - I'm keeping the bike, so it'll be another interesting evolution of the old girl. I haven't got the extra money to have the head flowed at the moment, but maybe in a year or so - an old work colleague has done a bit of work on some Oilers (including a classic TT bike), I'll have to drop in some time !

Was it worth dialling in your cams ? - being a shim head, I'll be keeping the cams standard to be safe, but wondered what others felt about accurately checking the cams.

Yes worth doing only need to get your cam wheels slotted and a few basic tools made up.

But it does take time to do.

Thanks Bud, makes sense to slot my own cam wheels , I'll give it a go . . . I'll fit everything over winter, plenty of time to use up there !!

Diamond files and plenty of eldow grease.

 

Easy done but it does take time cause yea, they're hard as hell!

Thanks for the warning chaps ! - few things worthwhile are easy - best part of £60 for APE slotted wheels, I can put up with a lot of elbow grease for that !!

You can! Plus there's another over-bore when it goes 'pete tong'

Ha ! there is that G1460!!

I've seen some really nice 1186 motors on the dyno  J1B, seems quite a nice size for light/moderate tuning - seems a safe size to bore the 1127 barrels too and there is that over size if all goes Pete Tong  !

Trouble is now that I've seen a company in Melksham that has a Serdi machine to work wonders for increased seat flow  and a bit of valve reprofiling - maybe not, the Wife thinks I just bought a few 'trinkets' for the bike  as it is. . .  she'll get wise when the engine's out and the head/barrels are off !

Hell it's easy to spend money on your bike - good fun though !
