ok.....so here we go....and where to start? firstly what ive done so far! 1198 swing arm 1198 wheels (brand new out the box) wavey discs (armstrong) 320mm front 1198 shock custom swingarm pivot rocker (so the swingarm works properly) did chain and sprockets (i cant remember the tooth count) 1198 forks digital dash speedo pickup moved to the rear of the bike (digital) p4 callipers with 5mm spacers to fit the bigger discs 1198 clipons + brake and clutch masters shorty levers 996r rad (twin fan) new oil rad full all round naked carbon fairing 996r style engine..... lightened flywheel plank con rods....lightened balanced crank engine case loading reduced sps pistons/heads squish reduced on heads by 1mm sps cams 748r gearbox 999 starter sprag custom welded 1198 exhaust cevlar wrapped 996r mono subframe if ive forgotten anything i will add to the list later
the problem i have right now is i suspect the ecu is faulty! im running 1.6m ecu and need another so i can rule that out! i dont suppose one of you lovley people has a spare kicking about?
no lies here bud! the full build is on another popular site but i dont want to plug another site on here but i will pm if you really want to see the full build!
He must have a lot of spare time to be doing tyre lettering, I admire his patience and attention to detail even the rotation arrow and smaller lettering.
its a 1.6 ecu + loom 996 twin injector throttle body i need an ecu because my friend broke the potentiometer next to the eprom chip!!
well spotted!! im running a 848 rear wheel and hub at the moment, that was so i could have a 180 profile rear end! (better for conering) an honest mistake! (it has been in the shed for 5 years lol
You need a 1098 rs rear swinger ttx and rs rocker.... You could run a 200 60 rear tyre then... proper better for cornering
not yet! way back when i started this build the main drive of the build was the suspention update and all the problems that brought with it! changing the swing arm was easy! but the rear shock then fouls the exhaust, and the pivot rocker no longer works. (the 1198/848 rocker makes the bike sit like a lowrider lol )
haha.....just bored and waiting for parts to turn up......also an excuse to be in the mancave and away from my little boy who (due to lockdown) has in my opinion LOST THE PLOT! (hes 5.5) going on 15 lol
anyway....back on point! the problem now is whilst trying to start she missfires in the front throttlebody. and i know (air leak) ive been over the fuel system with a fine toothcomb, replaced the inner tank hoses and fuel pump and filter, rebuilt the throttle body, checked the inlet manifolds, done the belts and re shimmed the valves and even replaced and reseated the valves and cleaned up the heads.....the ignition sensor was replaced and air gap set. new battery installed. so the ecu is all thats left to explain the problem im having.
im not a fan of wheel rim tape.....once im back on the road the tires wont last long so its something that will not be on her for long lol
the other site im on people have had loads of problems with motor cases cracking at the swingarm pivot point! i will look into this mod but at a later date!
