Hi Guys,
I have had a major blow up with my GSXR motor.
Has anyone got a Bandit (1200) cylinder block that they are prepared to sell.

Peter.

A nice looking bike.
A bit of an overkill to wreck that one just for a cylinder block.
If it was around in 12 months time I would snap it up for my son who has just got his Ls.
:D

HI Guys, I need the bandit barrels because I run a big bore and want to be left with a decent cylinder wall thickness. Bandit barrels are biggest bore to start with (but will not fit 1052 block without modification). Oldskool - have sent PM.

Here's why I need the new barrels and 81mm pistons also if anyone has some.

Even if No.4s valves were not bent to buggery it could not possibly have fired. No.1s spark plug was so stuffed it was just a short circuit and would have prevented the common coil from firing.

What caused that to happen Peter? Missed shift? Down 1 too many on decell?
Nasty for sure. [V]

A very silly mistake.
Accelerating hard on the race track out of a turn. Hit the rev limiter and in the heat of the moment had brain fade and shifted down instead of up.
The engine spun to 15,000 rpm + and went bang. The cam chain broke after valve to piston contact and it basically killed itself.
Hopefully I will not make that mistake again.
Fortunately, the bottom end looks to have survived.
The head and pistons are just scrap metal.

Peter.
