Looks great, what color was it, prior?

Yeah, when that new model GSX1000S was intro'd, they made mention that is was based on the venerable '08 GSXR1000 engine.
I seem to remember "retuning" to make it a better street bike engine, so...

You are KILLIN' me with that last sentence, Michael.
Damned near every single blowup in the early days of 07/08 GSXR wet pan was because of the rear pickup.
Did you by chance mean a rear pickup pan...

Italy?

HOLD UP! I'm not an excessive luber! I clean the chain WD40 on a rag when it needs it. Never had a problem with the WD - that stuff is pretty much weasel piss, anyway.

I was under the impression that 05, 6, 7, 8 were same.

Yo Russ, just saw this.
I had a chain come apart very similar to that, on my Nova Dieman.
The brake line T sat directly over the chain run, and I suspect that when I had it apart to split the...

Now would be a perfect time to install a fresh/low hour Gen 5, 2017 Kawasaki ZX10R.
I happen to have one - Minty Fresh - about 3000 miles.

Whoa - that was a bit long!
Hey man - 1 thing stands out, I think you may have trouble with:
The shift cable should go to the LEFT side of the paddle, which results in a wider radius bend to curve...

Hi Paul,
If you need any help with engines, I have supplied (50 plus over the last several years) to many in F1000, P1 (CSR) and P2 (DSR), as well as experience in shipping to Austral-Asia (Approx...

THE BEST mechanical shift I ever used was in an original Radical Prosport - left hand shifter lever with a rod going straight back to the shift shaft and lil stubby sub-lever. Heim joints, thin wall...

I'm wondering if that shield is a tire kleg picker upper / cow-catcher, designed to mount within a couple a .045 to the inner wheel surface to prevent build up of tire kleg.
It looks like if that is...

Hi Stewy, Just saw this.
Lots of info above, and one thing I immediately caught - the Kawi's are INCREDIBLY robust as compared to the Suzuki.
I'm gonna guess you are out of Western Australia,...

First off, The June Sprints has lost a lot of it's "Flair" or whatever, because the RO's are not there anymore, and while it IS still 1/3rd of the SCCA Triple Crown...

There are not many FB's in...

Looks like there might be the need for a little bit of clarification:
The dry sump setup that sees the top of the oil tank connected to the clutch cover oil fill port is primarily to allow the total...

Although not as financially ruinous, I probably feel shippier about holding up the race for all my buddies for three laps while the crew got the car out of the way.
I directed the pickup and urged...

I finally had the car right for the race, as in the Q, all I could do was 2nd - the platform and scales had slid off a 2x4 shim and I was making adjustments for ride height and corners on a wonkly...

"I'll join that series if it's all the same to you, Mate"
See you guys at Road Atlanta in the new and improved ZebStohr (unless it sells, in which case I will STILL be there in some kind of support...

The Ex-Slahor, currently Townsend Nova Dieman I drove in OZ had a flat shifter with ign cut, no blipper - it was wonderful, I'd say 2nd to the ultra plush Geartronics, at a much reduced cost.
The...

It is my understanding that the R1 engines power and torque figures are really good for putting power down to a motorcycles small rear tire contact patch, and therefore not really a good engine for...

Hey ya'll - just got back yesterday, midnight - lotta travel and layovers - like 32 hours I think...
(Go Virgin - Get the Non-stop!!!!!)
Race 1 of the 3 sprints was essentially behind the pace car,...

The GCR stipulates the crankcase vent be routed to a min 1 qt capacity container.
Give it a read! :D

something has gone awry on the reassembly...

Grounds. Check your grounds.

I have never heard of running a roadracing car at flat ride height.
There is definitely rake, I seem to recall 3/4" or so in the FM, but I have also seen setups, very quick setups I might add, that...

Roll Call

I'm in.

Are you referring to the tip over switch?

A T&S mistake was made, and they were STILL trying to put him on pole at Grid!

Vettel couldn't get an F1000 to a :44, which is NOT to say that Jose wasn't driving the hell out of the Galmer,...

You know how I know you've never tried to buy a Kodiak platform back in the day?
:O)

Wow, Talk about SANO!
Very nice...

It's "Old Thread Ressurection Week" here on Apexschpeed!

The Cooper mentioned by JP is Lil Bruvva Ben's car, the blue one, which then became the Mayer car, which then...

Looks like the Reline CV grease, same as was used in the RFR F1000 stock open diff.

Post a pic.

Joel, Did you get that Snickers bar I sent you?

;)

Dude, I'll enter tonight or tomorrow.
Interesting in that Mayer and Hill may come down, you and Prieto come up, and Jose is in, add me and that's 6.
"Interest" is compounded daily...

This is getting REALLLLLL interesting!

JR's letting me drive his car - something about he thinks it will sell if I can win in it, and help prove it is a winning car...

;)

Sorry, Brougham, couldn't resist.
I will be there in the...

I'm in.
The Mike B Nova Dieman may be there as well, w/ guy driving who is new to FB, but not to racing.

It could be.;)

Sooooooo.... You gonna be on track this year, Brah? :)

The left paddle is the clutch. It is half of the Stohr "butterfly" shifter.
The car only has 2 foot pedals.
Rogenbuck and I had the lightest of touches, the Stohr was unblemished post race, and it...

You and me both!

Good on the folks that got that rule modded.

For the record - George Dean is the fairest, most straight up guy building bike motors, and Farrell kicks ass like he does, because the sumbish is fast...

Jerry - The International Horseshoe is...

What the vid doesn't really show, is that the 2 cars directly behind JRO were very slow through T1, ridiculously slow in fact, which held everyone else up - RACE OVER!
Seconds later, Hickman was so...

No.

"Fluffy"

I have seen fairly large guys make minimum weight in FF because the min weight is high enough to allow that to happen.

Well, HELL! There goes my plan, shot all to hell.
Gary, I texted you Jeremy's number.

Damn it, Damn it to hell!;)

^ That's a hell of a lot of hell's up there - not sure what's goin' on...

Lemme know if you need someone to drive one of them - That will make FIVE F1000 chassis!
