My bike is having surgery today....

[Solracer]

:eek3: stay tuned.

New carbs and K&N filter. About time.

[KalmarJoe]

carbs, pfft...... dinosaur technology :biggthumpup:

hes still stuck in the stone age

[Dos Equis]

:eek3: stay tuned.


What are you doing Chris...????

My bike also has carbs but I'll really like to get EFI, nothing wrong with carbs, they just take more time for tune ups (re-jetting and sync.) but once they are properly tuneup they are very reliable.

[Solracer]

actually stephen.....the carbs arent even here yet ....muhahahaha those will prolly be here like thursday or friday

so what's the "surgery" ?

[Solracer]

there will be "cutting" and "welding" involved.

for what?

[KalmarJoe]

See most people lengthen the trailing arm, he's going to shorten it 4" so he has a mega-monster wheelie machine.

True...true.....So far they have never been tuned..!!! I removed the anti-tamper plugs and open the pilot screws 2.5 turns out to get rid of the "lean" settings from the factory.. :biggrin: :biggrin: Also removed what's called the EGR or air valve.

[Solracer]

Eh, well, Since some people cant meet deadlines......... Prolly wont happen till tomorrow morning/afternoon :(

[Patrick]

Chris,
Are you putting Keihins on? FCR's or round slides? What size? If you haven't already made a heat shield, installing one between the carbs and the manifolds will help.

Patrick

hmmm, what could it be if it has something to do with welding and cutting....?

[Solracer]

Patrick, I WISH I could afford some nice carbs (flatslides) Ive thought about making a homeade "yoshi heat shield" wonder if it would work as good, heat soak suxorz. Wonder what I could make it out of? ABS on one side and aluminum on the other?

BTW Im just using regular ol 38's, my 36's took a dump. :hs:

BTW BTW This is Jerrels old slingshot, youve done work on it. :keke:

BTW BTW BTW Im not doing the surgery thing like I said I would, Ill spend that cash on the bike in another manner. :icon_thumright:

[KalmarJoe]

For a heat shield, try and find some phenolic material. It's easy to work with like ABS, but won't melt and can be used right next to the heat source without aluminum.

[Patrick]

I thought that was Jerrels old bike. :icon_smile: Glad it's still around.
The stock 38 's properly jetted work great, just check the emulsion tubes to make sure they haven't been worn.
You can make the heat shield from some clear .0125 thick vinyl and put some adhesive heat tape on the backside of it, and you can adapt some side cover from the later gen GSXR's for the carb side area. Do you still have the stock snorkle tubes?

red x only

[Solracer]

no snorkles, ive always wondered about later gen side covers.

red x only


for you, not me

[CarbonJames]

its workin now

[Din]

drop an 01-02 1000 motor in there.

[Patrick]

Won't fit w/o major surgery. However we used to put GSXR1100 motors in them all the time.
BTW a Bandit 1200 motor would also work. I'd put your cams in it and use the carbs you have. You'd need an '89-'90 1100 exhaust and you'd be in business, approximately 135 / 140 rwhp!

nice,, sounds like a plan :biggthumpup:

[Solracer]

the 1200 motor I had planned for a while now......... But I just put this new 750( completely rebuilt.) about 2 thousand miles ago. Gonna run with it for a while...... When I got it from Jerrel, poor bike was running on 3 and just, didnt run well at all. Poor bike lol.
