Huh. Video did it on it's own. Cool.

Yeah, I'm not sure if we did an update of somekind or YouTube did, but all of my posted videos are now direct.
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

I don't know how to make the video show directly here but here's a link. Spent some time heat cycling and looking for leaks.

I melted a breather hose on the exhaust which then allowed some oil to sputter out onto the seam between the cylinder and head. It looked so much like coolant I thought I had a bad seal on the head gasket.

I fixed the burned hose, routed it a little better and cleaned the head and cylinder. No leaks.

Gave it a test ride. I haven't really beaten it yet but throttle response is better, low end is much better. It revs like a mothermake the beast with two backser. There was a point in second or third where it sounded a lot like a two stroke as far as how fast it was building rpm.

More experimentation needed [evil]


Whoever the badass looking mofo is, he seems happy with the outcome. ;)

I don't know about badass but I am happy :D

I put it on the lift when I got back from the test ride and pulled off the skid plate to look for leaks etc. I found none so I let it cool.

I just went out to look at it and found a puddle of coolant under the bike.

So, I cleaned that all up and cleaned the bottom of the engine cases and let it run till the fan came on.

Nothing.

I am suspecting it was still in the process of venting excess coolant.

I'll check the level when it cools and keep an eye on things.

So far so good [thumbsup]

I can hear why you're happy, that exhaust note is cracking sharp even on the vid.

I just over filled the SBK...I need to empty the over flow bottle between the cylinders to get rid of the anti freeze. The people at Grattan can smell that a mile away. ;D

You know, that's just the stock can that I modified. The outlet is 25-30mm but hidden down inside is a restrictor that's maybe 14mm.

I cut that part out :D

It's not as good sounding at a proper akro can but it also didn't cost $350 to do.

They let you out with regular coolant?

They do at NHMS.

It's going [evil]

It pulls pretty hard way up into the high rpm range. It's definitely an improvement.

It's been puking coolant though. I let it sit after a ride and after it's cooler there will be a small puddle under the bike.

With each ride the puddle is smaller. The level is still good in the rad so I'm feeling like it's just getting rid of the extra.

I can't wait to hit the track next year.

So all that's left now are tires, brakes, suspension, maybe a slipper clutch....

It's only money, right?  They print it everyday.

;D

Do you back it into tight turns or hang off? Reason I asked was related to the effect of a slipper clutch.

I've had the back come around by accident on my 950 but that's it.

I don't love it when my tires stop sticking to the ground. The tracks I'm on I hang off. It's the faster way around.

I'm interested in the slipper only to cut down on the strain to the engine. Even then it's just interest. I'm pretty good at rev matching (I don't use the clutch for down shifts)

A slipper clutch should suit you then. When you have had one you miss it. Wouldn't mind one in my Gixxer.
