kja.busa Posted June 7, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment

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 Link to comment
Dezza Posted June 8, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment

Gixer1460 Posted June 9, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment
