Re: 88 FZR1000 Wont turn off lol she wants to go!

nope..the location of the bad connector made everything hot, it actually was not the starter/solenoid cable, it was the fuel pump i think now , so it even had an uninterrupted supply, the switch on the right bars would do nothing either.. ill get a pic later

Re: Des Moines, Iowa

Have you ever been to Van Wall Yamaha in Perry? The guy in there that runs the shop is a wiz at tuning and has a dyno. He can tune anything! If you ever need anything he is a wealth of knowledge on FZ's , FZR's, YSR50's, you name it. Last he told me he owns about 13 bikes, mostly Yam's and even has ...

Re: 450 single motors, 400 frame or bigger?

Nah its not a rotax, i have one in a trx running over 55 hp, its reliable but you have to get the right springs, and no its not for sustained high rpm use. I get about 40 horses at 6,000 rpms, 50-55 spread out over the last 3,000 rpms...36 lbs of torque, hits the dinger at 11,200. I have friends wit...

Re: 450 single motors, 400 frame or bigger?

And these motors can make a reliable 50 hp, or 65 in race trim.. you can rebuild and split the cases on these very quick also..actually the honda ones are so cool, with separate oil for the tranny and engine/crank side (keeps the clutch fibers and gunk out of your main bearings and top end), a singl...

450 single motors, 400 frame or bigger?

Has anyone done anything with a 450 based single? This is a dirtbike frame and swingarm, looks good right? But due to cost you could almost chuck the motor into a much cheaper frame, maybe a an 87 1000 frame with the downtubes would work perfect I think.. http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.c...
