Did you spin the oil pump over to check oil feed to cams

GET ON WITH IT BOB!!!

You don't know until you try it. Most things can be made to fit, just takes ingenuity and cash.

Can I have it, pleeeeze?

It's the Ride of Respect, for charity.

20mph ? Have a job getting a lot of em below 60.

Why?

Probably doing Clacketts to Cobham again.

Probably

Fastbob, those aren't proper Mikunis. Try some RS36s?

I've always bought DID X ring Gold chains . I lube the chain with Wurth dry lube every 200 miles and clean the chain with paraffin every 1000 miles. I very rarely need to adjust the chain and when I do it's usually when the chain and sprockets are reaching the end of their life. I normally get beteeen 25 and 35 thousand miles from a chain. In the past I've fitted a durallumin Renthal rear sprocket which helps extend chain life and looks good too.

I'm probably be going in my van , so can carry stuff and post onward.

You'll be grinning from ear to ear. Put good oil in it. Try to prime the cams and crank by spinning the oil pump over first. I used a rubber wheel on a drill arbor to spin mine over, or just oil everything before starting.

Top job.

Why would it go bang? If you've built it properly and checked everything, just start it, listen to it for a while. Let it get hot, let it cool, then drop oil and water for some checks. Refill, then take it for a spin.

You have a pm Nigel

Well reengineer the bar! The clutch is gonna have to come out at some time and why remove the engine to do it.?

It's not a big job to strip and rebuild the clutch?

You're better looking at it than for it.

Will do. Probably late April, early May.

Good to meet you too mate. Hopefully see you again next year.

One of a few pix at the weekend.

Thanks for the write up Caroline. Great to meet you on Sunday and great to meet er Grumpy? Saturday was a washout until 1500 and we ran until 1730. I had just fitted a two step rev limiter to the GSX and was learning how to use it. Basically it is a top end rev limiter to protect the engine if it jumps out of gear. The clever bit is that I can preset the launch revs, hold the throttle at close to fully open and with the clutch pulled in, hold the revs at a preset level, eg 5000. When I launch the revs immediately go to around 8000 and I select second and wind the throttle up to max. Had a few scary runs, but managed a few 11.4s and an 11.29. A new PB. Was running a bit rich, so put smaller main jets in before dinner and beer time. Sunday was dry, sunny and bloody cold early on. Not allowed to start engines until 1200 and when I went to ride bike to start area, selected first gear, let clutch out and NOTHING? No movement forwards. Cable was OK so we stripped the clutch and found mostly burnt steels and dry frictions, but plenty of oil. Replaced the lot and went to the line. My first run was my best, 10.85 @123mph. Had a couple of scares and then ran a 10.95 @123. Went home very happy and planning to fit an air shifter and lock up clutch before Santa Pod in two weeks time.

Why would you unless you Googled it,?
