Stuart, the bike was named Challenger and like the space shuttle, it went bang.

Lance, what ever the problem was at the GP, I believe it was electrical. I replaced the battery yesterday. With the new plugs and new fuel it started quite easy. I rode it about 15k's out the road and took some pics. It wasn't running the best to start with but got better as it went. It popped on the way back home. Had to push the fucker the last 3k's.

Conrad, we were running it rich, it fouled plugs quite often, but besides that the injection was pretty good. Take into account the motor had over 90,000 k's on it before the turbo went on. There was a pop and lots of metallic rattles when it let go. Also a shit load of smoke out the exhaust and it rolled to a stop. My guess is I've blown a piston, but until I get a chance to pull it down, I'm really not sure. As for the SV motor, I have been thinking of this for a while and although I reckon I could do it, I want to get the turbo thing sorted properly first.

surely GS500 engines are not the most sought after peices of kit? wreckers not got one?

Good job Clint. Now you can change it's name from "Challenger" to "C.O.A.T" (Cunt Of A Thing);)

Don't name it after my ex Mrs, it'll wind up Bi-Polar and schizzed out and all.

Mate why not try fitting a Busa motor to your frame?

Or maybe something completely off tap like a TRX850 donk?

now that would be some severe awesomeness...
