I always enjoy picking out the rubber dingle berries out of my air filter. A simple wash doesn't get them out.
Marlboro, they support racing That guy used to crash that poor sv like every weekend. One year him and his buddies entered afm 4hr race on it and named team "Ray please don't crash". One of them crashed in the race and Ray was so happy it was not him, all smiling, they fixed bike and rejoined race and Ray crashed it . And if I am not mistaken Dsapsis bought that bike and was our endurance bike we raced last year.
true. my first motor made 75-76 stock (George Dean's superflow dyno with the conversion for dynojet numbers)
That's probably a good thing. I heard there's a new hot shot on one of the teams. Another team has a couple of young guns that aren't old enough to get their driver's license.
I let Ray do all the crashing on the bike for its lifetime. He once crashed three times in one weekend, the last time on his head. He showed me his beat up helmet and asked, "you think it'll pass tech?" We keep it clean (and faster than all the SE bikes) now.
Mike, That is a nice stout number. It looks like you have busa pistons, gladius cylinders, rods, and I'm guessing a cam swap with flatslides? I'm curious as I still have a desire to get myself on a racetrack again someday. Don't know I need something this built, but when racing the little 100lb kids you need all the help you can get. Heck that is more HP than the last racebike I had. 1989 FZR600 that I raced in 90-91. I think they only made about 80HP. Edit: Sure was funny to read some of the comments in here, especially Zoran's... I could totally see him talking smack, and leaning up against the car wash wall, chain smoking the Marlboros.
It's fuel injected. The map still needs work obviously. There's more power in it but I don't really want more for longevity reasons. It has cams, H beam rods,throttle bodies off of a DL1000. Honestly, a 2mm motor with a cam swap would be real close to this. This motor was purpose built for a class requiring stock diplacement for SVs.
