kja.busa Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Quick question, is there a way of identifying an engine model from the actual engine number? If you were looking for an "M" model engine how would you know it was an "M" ? Quote

If you were looking for an "M" model engine how would you know it was an "M" ? Can be done with numbers but there are cross overs, Easiest way is look at cams - screw and lock nut NOT an 1100 or 750 M or N - they both have 16 rockers and shim adjustment 1 Quote
Dezza Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 I was an oil cooled ignoramus until I got one last year and it soon becomes apparent - 1052 cc is g,h,j; 1127 k-n but 1127 screw and locknut valves is k,l whereas 1127 shim valves is m,n; and if it has a naff diaphragm clutch it's a blandit or something like that Problem is some of the 750 and 1100 engine parts are interchangeable so a hybrid motor can be difficult to identify unless someone has past experience of the bits involved. I soon became aware of this as my engine is some sort of 750/1100 chimera 1 Quote

Gixer1460 Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 You'd be surprised then as one of the most powerful nitrous road bikes in the 90's was a Hippo! Was an active member on the old, old site. 2 Quote
