Smithy Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone , not gonna go with the 1127 mill in the k3 !! Hammers big enough , but inclination isn’t , we’ll atm ?! Katana lump measures 447mm on the widest part of the head . & the thou’s frame is only 408mm ! If I was building a Fighter then I might get the tig out & widen the frame 2 inches ?! ( watch this space ! 1127 wheelie machine coming up in the future !! ) ? But I want a cheap shit abomination , that i can throw around the track ASAP , then gather data & c if it was worth me getting back on the track at 54 ? Or have I missed the boat ? As I’ve been out of the saddle 4 , 3 yrs ?! So back 2 the abomination !! Picked up the K3 Frame This morning , after a mission down to deepest , Darkest Kent ! spoke to someone who has a low miles K2 lump , that’s Mustard, apparently ? So ? can I put the cheap K2 lump in the k3 abomination ??? Hope it’s doable ? Let me know please , my new found Family !! Smithy L Edited January 9, 2022 by Smithy Quote Link to comment

Smithy Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Sorry Captain , all new 2 me ! Didn’t want to upset anyone ? Bought the oil cooled engine from a spares geezer in Ireland , checked the serial number & it came back as an 1127 Katana lump ?! Edited January 9, 2022 by Smithy Spelling Quote Link to comment
Captain Chaos Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 There's no such thing as a 1127 Katana on OSS. Read the rules. 2 Quote Link to comment

Captain Chaos Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I'm just executing orders. Anyone who reads the rules while registering is more than welcome on here. And should know a Katana is aircooled. 4 Quote Link to comment

busa1300 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) We had 1100 Kats here in the US back in 88+ with the oil cooled GSXR/Bandit look alike motor But they were definitely not water cooled.... Edited January 10, 2022 by busa1300 Quote Link to comment

busa1300 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I think the issue was this is a watercooled section, and talk about an engine which is cooled in some other manner....should be talked about in it's own section...? Just guessing anyway... Yes, I have a Katana...82 GS1000SZ Anything else called a Kat does bother me.... I do like the pop ups though Quote Link to comment

Just read the rules & follow them, you'll be fine then. Anyway, yes the k2 motor will fit your k3 frame as it is mechanically essentially the same. I believe the changes were ECU based between k2 & k3, the k3 getting a faster processor. Ref your original idea of 1127 oil cooled motor, replacing a 155bhp motor with a lower powered one that won't really fit doesn't seem sensible to me. Edit - I see you've already asked this question & got the answers. Why ask again? Edited January 11, 2022 by coombehouse Annoyed Quote Link to comment
