I certainly have been enjoying it, I had a "friendly visit" from the local traffic cops recently to tell me they were looking at my riding style as apparently I'd overtaken one of them in an unmarked...

I had mine back on the dyno last week as the winter jetting was running rather rich now the weather has improved and we may actually see a summer over here this year. I now have 155 mains fitted and...

I've just done a 1260cc Zed motor for a friend running 1mmm oversize valves, Cammotion cams in an early head RS38 open flatslides, pilot jet is a 17.5, and it's running 136 mainjets, currently making...

The first of the GSXR1100 in 86' was a 1052cc motor (Slabside) with a 58mm stroke, 76mm bore? and 4 spring coil clutch, the 1127cc motor (Slingshot) uses a 59mm stroke 78mm bore and a diaphram clutch...

I've just been looking through Suzuki parts fiches online, at the very same subject for a hybrid 750/1000 bigbore motor i'm building. The clutches on the 750J/K are different parts numbers to the...

You need a return line to the tank so that the pump is not deadheading against the float needles, so fuel tank-filter-pump-regulator- then back to tank taking a Tee out to feed the carbs, mount the...

Thanks Mark that's just what I needed. turns out they're both 2S

Can anyone give me the specs for Andrews S1 and S2 cams for the GS1000 please, I'm building a 1085cc motor with the bigport head and 33mm smoothbores at the moment, along with welded crank, 2nd gear...

I am extremely envious, I'd love to get myself a 750 triple Kwaker. I've always had a soft spot for them, and two stroke triples in general after owning a couple of suzuki GT550 Ramairs many years...

If the cam sprocket bolts were loosened, then the engine would rotate forwards as usual which would pull the cam sprockets around to the lefthand end of the slots, where they would hit the bolts and...

I finally got the tank badges through, Kawasaki wanted £32 per side for ZRX11 badges, I got these for £8.65 with £0.65 postage from china for the pair, which allowed me to cut them out and rearrange...

Thankyou Dougy, it has taken me a while to get it to where i'm now happy with it. It now goes like greased weasel shit and handles better than the 650cc version did, which I think is due to the...

Thanks Jimmer, I'll stick with the 15/42 set up for the moment in that case and see how things pan out on the 17th, assuming the weather in the UK is any better than it has been of late. Rider weight...

Jimmer, what gearing are you running? I'm currently running 15/42 (150mph in 5th) on mine, and it feels like it needs an extra gear. I did run a 16/42 (160mph in 5th) for a while which felt better...

I've tried both Z1000 cams, the Z1000 inlet and Z750 inlet in the exhaust. The ones so far making best power in my hybrid motor are the ZX9R C model cams which currently give me 144bhp and 70lb/ft....

I never go below 2mm, and prefer no less than 2.5mm if possible. I had a Z1260cc lump that had a resleeved 900 block which had liners of 1.4mm, which had distorted so much I could pass a 17 thou'...

Here's some pics of the finished bike, there's still a few little bits to sort out, front mudguard brackets need finishing which will lower the Buell XB12R mudguard a little, tank badges need...

Well I managed to get the bike pretty much finished today, and got the MOT test done. I've had the bike on my dyno to sort the fueling out. initially it was only making 120bhp and was massively rich...

Well after much arsing about, mine is finally on its wheels again. the main delay was caused by the powdercoaters having to redo the swingarm, and then doing a load of GSXR parts in the wrong colour....

Does anyone know of a company selling blanking plugs for the cable driven tacho on the early motors? I have just had to turn one up myself on my lathe and I need another 5 of them for motors I'm...

From memory the spacing on the Z1000/GSXR carbs is 77-93-77 and on the ZX/ZRX/XJR it is 77-85-77 so you'll just need to space the 3&4 carbs over to the centre slightly. You should be able to slide...

I haven't ended up using the smaller carbs. I was lucky enough to score a set of Mikuni TMR40 off good ole' fleabay for £500, these fit the Z1000 head using a set of GSXR1100M inlet rubbers, which I...

Here's a sneaky preview of my new project.
The motor is an 05' Z750 bottom end, with 06' ported Z1000 head and barrels, fitted with ZX9R cams on slotted sprockets, Dyna2000 ignition system, Mikuni...

Bandit 600 will work, the later MkII has the electronic speedo pick up in it.
