- This was my first street bike. I bought it crashed for a couple hundred bucks when i was 16 years old. Drove it home with a cracked subframe and bald tires, loose header and a missing spark plug. I guess i really believed i could turn this machine into something great. Ive recorded a lot of videos and taken pics over the years but about all i have left is whats being posted here.
I got the motor tuned up and rode it to a local welding shop to get the frame stitched up, before long i was doing 3rd gear unintentional burnout/wheelies and getting lots of speeding tickets of course. It was a riot!
There were a ton of small parts i hand made to spice up the looks of the bike lol. Hand cut aluminum gauge cluster, some subframe brackets directional brackets etc... eventually i bought a 2007 gsxr750 subframe and tig welded that to the existing frame. It was looking pretty snazzy, but like any engine on wheels, i got used to it, and soon enough it needed more power.
I scrounged around on the internet (about 2010) and came accross a big bore kit for the 86-89 model which included intake and exhaust cams. That year range had different style rockers "Y" shaped adjustable rather than the individual shim style rockers that i had. Instead of swapping heads, i sold the cams for the cost of the kit and ended up with a free 1340 high compression engine. Wooo!! The larger cylinder jug required more clearance in the block that was tediously carved out using a porter cable router with a 4 flute tool steel endmill, folling a sharpy marker line i drew using the cylinder base gasket as a template. It was sketchy.
First time starting the motor after this 1340 build it flooded the garage floor with oil immediately. It was the middle of winter and the engine build fought me the whole way. I was DONE dealing with it and i had no idea what went wrong. Eventually i pulled the motor back out and saw that i was missing the orings in the oil galleys that ran up a few of the head studs. Easy to overlook since i didnt have orings with the kit, and the recessed grooves werent even cut into the block.
I removed the block, machined in the grooves, reinstalled the ss cylinder orings and new copper headgasket and put it back together. By spring i was able to ride it and put about 50 carb tuning miles on it before even getting it close to stoich, gotta love cv carbs!
So thats the story and heres what little video i have left :/ other test tune files were corrupt in one way or another unfortunately. So enjoy the garage revs! 😆
Really cool story and bike. I have owned my 91 dor 24 years now. Done everything to it. Had a 1216 kit put in with 38lectron carbs. I would love to find a big block kit now. They are harder to find these days. Oldschool rules. I have a 91 alao with a hahns turbo fuel injection. Bike ran 820s 15 years agao. These bikes are the shit!!!
Real throaty might do something like that with my 99 gsxr 750 srad add a big motor in it straight pipe it with big cams and everything
I got 94 GSXR 750 I shoehorned in 2001 1200 Bandit motor in it. It was all done on the cheep with parts from the motorcycle scrap pile an ebay. Hillbilly bandit.
@Mostly Motorized Did the crankcase need opened up to accept the 1340 sleeves?
Yes. Anything over 1216 needs the upper case bored.
All that motor and look.at the carbs 😂😂😂
The 1340 kit is already 1500
Actually you'd fall in love if you saw my rare black silver paint 90 1100 3 year budget built and done.. with flatslides 🤣🤣
@@dickemdown1515 flat slides are sick but an oily 1340 is sicker
@@knicklicht7945 1340 with a lockup and a turbo be even sicker.
