I thought I would get around to starting my build thread, I have pretty well worn out my introduction thread>

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/showthread.php?24309-New-to-streetfighters-looking-4-a-project

So far I have gathered heaps of useful info along the way from this forum, Some of it can be found looking at many other builds etc around the net, A big thanks to those who contributed to my intro thread

I started off with a rather neglected bike that instantly made me feel sorry for it & I had to take it home as soon as I saw it + the price was good & it was local so that was a bonus

I only have an original pic of it from the previous owner possibly when he bought it, It looked like it would have been rather nice back then, It was not this tidy when I got it, Most of the fairing is rather stuffed which works out nice anyway for building a streetfighter, I was too keen to strip it when I got home & never got pics, It was undressed in about an hour

I planned on just removing all the crap I did not need & changing the dash/speedo & headlight setup, I told my missus (& myself) I would just tidy it up a little bit & I wont have to go too far with it, I think I was lying to the both of us, I started cleaning finding things that were not quite up to standard (I get pretty fussy & some people including some who have never even met me have mentioned I may have OCD) I started polishing the frame & wheels then.....Well you know how it goes, I now have a list of stuff to be changed, Fixed or upgraded etc

Thanks Pete

The first major part to any street fighter I spose is the bar setup so that was the first part I attacked to start getting it back together

There is many different ways to fit some bar risers to the stock triple clamp, I have read about people removing the gussets under the top clamp then filling or welding pieces in then drilling, Would be nice to just buy a top clamp ready made with built in risers but considering it would cost about 1/3 of what the bike cost me I decided not to take the easy way + most of the top yokes I found have the bar mounts way back & they dont look right to me

Bit of a rant here but WTF is a yoke doing on a motorbike anyway?>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoke

If I happen to fit a pair of oxen to the front of my bikes I might start using yokes

In the 15-20 years of playing with bikes (Mostly dirtbikes & some Harleys) I have always known the top triple clamp to be a triple clamp, Who went & named them after an animal/cart apparatus? Must be a pommy thing like spindles that has made its way here too? We have axles they have spindles? They reckon we are backwards?>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spindle_(textiles)

Spindles & yokes dont belong on cars or motorbikes?

Anyway back to what I was saying.....I took a lot of measurements on the top of the clamp to locate the spot on the bottom of the top clamp I wanted to drill, Drilled 2x 12mm holes through the top from my measurements, I sat the RHK risers in position & they were spot on where I wanted them to be, I then made some spacers out of 20mm thick billet alloy that I happen to have lots of, I cut 2x 1" x 1" pieces then shaped them to fit into the front recess's on the top clamp, I could have them welded in maybe later but they will work fine for now & I am confident that the top clamp & mount setup will be very strong & safe the way I have fitted the risers

I happened to have a new set of cheap fatbars sitting in the shed so I could see how it felt with the bars on, These are much too tall to run on it but they will do to get it setup until my new bars arrive + it certainly makes it much easier to move the bike round, Clipons suck unless you are doing 150k's

With the bars setup I am able to measure up the clutch & front brake hoses & Re-routing the throttle cable fix's that problem

i did a similar thing on my old 1100w worked fine,the risers never moved ,just use loc-tite

The risers come with lock nuts fitted so they wont go anywhere but a dab of loctite when it is all finished couldnt hurt either

Ater getting it partly stripped down I decided to see if I could get the motor running better, Well I knew for certain I could it was just a matter of how

Did the basics first, Fresh fuel & oil, Changed the plugs & cleaned the air filter, It ran a bit better but I knew I would have to attack the carby's so after cleaning them & refitting I decided to get another set of carby's, I picked up a set for $50 incl postage, Bit of a gamble buying online but I was very happy when I received them apart from the fact that some dimwit must have used a breaker bar to do up all the screws but luckily I now had 2 sets of carby's so the drill fixed that

I checked & cleaned the newer set of carby's & fitted them, It is running way better now but I will be going to larger pilot & main jets soon

Looking at the exhaust I found that someone had modified it & basically chopped it around the footpeg & welded a clamp fitting setup & made a link pipe up to fit some kind of muffler probably due to the stock one being damaged?

I decided to start fresh with the exhaust & get a set of Delkevic headers & a Danmoto muffler, I know the Delkevic headers are made to EOM specs with stock size tubing but they do not have the perforated tubing inside the pipe after the collector like the stock headers have so these will certainly flow a bit better, + I like the fact that they are stainless, A big thanks to Delkevic Australia / planetmoto.com.au
The Headers arrived a few hours after the Danmoto muffler so that was damn good timing
With the Danmoto ZX9R muffler sitting in place I found it would only be a matter of welding one little piece of flared 2-1/4" pipe where the link pipe joins to the headers, This will correct the slightly (tiny) different angle

With the wheels & other bits & pieces polished up (Or shiny I should say?> http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/showthread.php?24333-Polishing-RIMs... ) & the headers & muffler sitting in place it is really starting to get there

Yeah its in the early stages yet but it is actually going a bit quicker than I expected for my first fighter build

Need to paint the radiator & get it back together & see what the new exhaust system sounds like?

19-09-2012, 09:35 PM
Well done mate. I love my ZXRs. Get an adjustable timing rotor and advance the timing by 5 degrees. It makes a noticeable difference. You just have to run premium fuel.

Thanks Mr.ZXR, Who makes the adjustable rotors? Which one do you use?

I run premium in everything except my lawn mower

I have been sick for the last few days so I have not been able to get anything done really except ordering bits n pieces, I have the radiator back on so I might get it fired up this arvo if all goes well

I spose I will have to go for a Factory pro advance rotor setup?>
http://www.factorypro.com/Prod_Pages/prodk77.html

Considering Muzzy dont list the rotors it looks like they do not make the ZXR 750 91 - 95 ( Also ZX9 94-97 ) adjustable rotors anymore?
http://www.muzzys.com/advancer/index.html

From what I have found it is part number MZ-128>

Any other options?

CARBY JETTING

I have read that taking the pilot jets up from #38 to #40 & the main jets from 170 (outers) & 190 (inners) to 180 & 200 is pretty much a standard upgrade to make sure it is not running too lean which I think is the case, The same with just about any stock bike usually

I did not want to (Or refuse to) pay $10 - almost $20 as I was quoted for a single jet here in OZ & I am happy to wait for some jets to arrive from any part of the world (preferably USA) so I have been searching around for pilot & main jets that are reasonably priced, We all know that something so tiny is not worth what we pay here in Australia, We pay too much for way too many things here

With other bikes I have shopped around before & found various jets for around $5ea (+ postage) but did a little bit better again this time

I have ordered a total of 8 genuine Keihin jets ( 4x #40 N242-25B pilot jets & 2x 180 & 2x 200 99101-393 main jets ) all for just under $40 incl postage which is pretty damn good considering I would be paying around $80 for the same thing here

Thought I would share a bargain with ya's, Just about any Keihin & Mikuni jets are available>

I use a fella in Melboure for my jets will find his details reasonably priced and quick.
I looked and could not find an adjustable rotor for the 7 seems they have stopped production. You can still get the fixed 2,4,6,advanced I think from memory
Anyways looks good

Sorry about the thread hijack

Mr ZXR - tell me more of this - can you do this on the 9 engine? And what are the gains? Where do i get one?

Cheers, Jed

24-09-2012, 06:13 PM
No worries Jed, From what I have found the ZXR 750 & 94-97 ZX9 use the exact same ignition rotor setups

Checking OEM part numbers gives you the answer, You will find lotsa different parts that are interchangeable between different models>

I received my Renthal ultralight front sprocket & AFAM rear sprocket (together from one seller) + my new EK MVXZ 520 chain turned up also today (from elsewhere in the USA), Good timing again, Only major issue was I thought the AFAM sprocket was black but it is actually dark grey so I will have to change that, Going to need a new set of sprocket/wheel damper rubbers too
I weighed the new 520 chain & sprockets so I will have to weigh old 530 chain & sprockets & see what the difference is?

I need to get stuck into the wiring & get it all shortened & tucked outta the way, I got a flock of different sized heat shrink today so I can get started on that

NINJAINOZ
25-09-2012, 04:20 PM
I got the new 520 chain & sprockets on, Just checked the weight of the old 530 chain & sprockets, Im only using bathroom scales so they are not real accurate, The new 520 chain & sprockets weigh 2.7kg & the old 530 chain & sprockets weigh 4.3kg, A bit more difference than what I thought there would be, Im hoping to drop 20kg+ off the total stock weight, Should not be too hard the way its going

27-09-2012, 09:02 PM
I received a couple of new engine parts today, I will slowly collect bits n pieces here & there when they pop up cheap & eventually I will have enough parts to start an engine rebuild, Would be nice to get a spare motor & rebuild it then just swap them over

Got a new timing chain ( 92057-1323 (http://www.motosport.com/motorcycle/oem-parts/KAWASAKI/1994/NINJA-ZX_7/CAMSHAFT%28S%29%7ETENSIONER/CHAIN%2CCAMSHAFT%2CBF05MA/92057-1323) ) & the long timing chain guide ( 12053-1282 (http://www.motosport.com/motorcycle/oem-parts/KAWASAKI/1994/NINJA-ZX_7/CAMSHAFT%28S%29%7ETENSIONER/GUIDE_CHAIN/12053-1282) )
I picked up the exhaust rocker shaft ( 12020-1066 (http://www.motosport.com/motorcycle/oem-parts/KAWASAKI/1994/NINJA-ZX_7/VALVE%28S%29/SHAFT_ROCKER%2CEXHAUST/12020-1066) ) brand new for $20 incl postage, Probably worth $150+ here in Australia?

Also fitted a new motion pro throttle cable today, The old one was a bit how ya going, I have ridden a bike home years ago after the throttle cable snapped, Had to wind the idle screw in and just putt home, Made for a nice slow ride home

Getting closer to having it all back together & ready to hit the road, Just going to concentrate on the bits I need now to get it on the road & reliable (& safe), I want it to all be spot on before I even think about going for a blue slip, Going to have to find someone who is reasonable too?

Need to chase up a fender eliminator style number plate mount, Fit some LED blinkers & make my own extension for now to get through the blue slip

NINJAINOZ
28-09-2012, 06:47 PM
I received 4 (E-mark) longer style LED blinkers today, Paid $28 including postage, They will do to get started
http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh540/NINJAINOZ/ZXR750 FIGHTER BUILD/4xE-MARKLEDBLINKERS_zps37050702.jpg

I tracked down the fender eliminator that will bolt on to the 2 bolts under the taillight (they are 140mm / 5.5" apart C-C), A nice little setup to fit the number plate & the blinkers + it is coated black, For $15 including postage its a pretty damn good deal>
http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh540/NINJAINOZ/ZXR750 FIGHTER BUILD/ZXR750FENDERELIMINATOR_zps8ca4994d.jpg


Only need a few little odds & ends now & its pretty well sorted, For now I might just pinch my brand new Trailtech Vapor speedo / tacho (with the dash setup blinker etc lights already fitted) that is currently sitting on another bike

I found a set of ZX7R (Black) front calipers with EBC HH pads (They will go nicely with my matching EBC HH rear pads) for $50US + a ZX7R lower triple clamp for $25US, They will hopefully get here within the next week or so?
Just need to find a set of ZX7R forks & I can do the conversion

NINJAINOZ

Finally got the wiring back together enough to fire it up with the new jets in the carby's, I was a bit lazy & left the choke cable off as I was confident that it would run better & it did exactly that, Thanks to larger pilot jets it fired up very easily & I dont need the choke setup, Maybe on real cold mornings but it does not really get cold here where I am anyway, I will see how it goes without it for now?
It seems smooth right through the revs with no missing etc & sounds damn angry straight out the end of the new Delkevic headers, I wont know for sure if it is dialed in OK until I get to run it though

I was also able to see how the new clear type lens LED taillight works & im very impressed, It is rather bright & looks sweet, It does not have the integrated blinkers which is more practical for us in Aus as we need to have proper blinkers 25cm apart anyway
I found it on Ebay of course in Bulgaria of all places, A fellow there had bought it new & never used it so I got it for just over $40AU incl postage which is cheap compared to some on Ebay that are around $100AU & it got here pretty fast too
Same as this>
http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh540/NINJAINOZ/ZXR750 FIGHTER BUILD/708_1_zpsb84e7f1b.jpg

I have my ZX7R calipers, lower triple clamp & a front guard sitting here waiting for some ZX7 forks when I find a set to do the change over
Already sold the old calipers & front guard for a bit less than I paid for the upgraded newer ones so thats a good start

http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh540/NINJAINOZ/ZXR750 FIGHTER BUILD/ZXRZX7CALIPERS_zpsef7abd93.jpg

If all goes well I might get a test ride this year? Should be very soon but might have to be a few runs to talk to someone about a blue slip if you know what I mean ;)
I dont know if the minister of finance will allow me to get it on the road especially this close to chrissy & with 3 little ones (Currently 6, 8 & 10) + all their birthdays are between November & January, It makes it hectic this time of year rounding up Chrissy & birthday presents but gets it all over & done with for the year around the same time

22-10-2012, 09:22 AM
Looks likes this is moving ahead just nicly mate and i feel your pain about this time of year lol personly i would have used the zxr front guard as they look lighter than the zx7 guard just my 2c worth

NINJAINOZ
22-10-2012, 09:53 AM
Will the ZXR front guard fit on the ZX7R forks without the front mount brackets hanging out?

Im thinking about relocating the ignition barrel to make room for the speedo setup but finding somewhere else to put it is the problem? Im thinking about mounting it just in front of the stock fuse box on the right side & just trim a bit of the right side cover away neatly in an arch so it looks stock?
I would be able to remove the mounts off the top triple clamp & make a bracket for the speedo, I would prefer to leave the ignition there but there is just no room for the speedo then

Where do some of the later model bikes have the ignition setup, Are they all on the top triple clamp? Looking for some ideas

JimZXR
23-10-2012, 07:56 PM
Mate, think we've been speaking on another site too!

Like your progress with the fighter; trying to get started with turning my spare bike into a fighter and glad someone's leading the way!

Thinking it may start getting stripped tomorrow and I'll be looking for a 900 motor!

Hi & welcome aboard
I had mine stripped down in about half an hour when I first got it home, Very keen, I was just going to do a quick clean up but it got out of hand & I seem to be doing a bit more than I originally planned, These projects are never really finished though, There is always something else to modify or change

Are you going to start a build thread? Chuck some pics up of what your starting with

Edit
OH yeah I see now KSRC/Brakes, I linked you to the brake etc info, Your welcome:p

24-10-2012, 08:47 AM
No the zxr front guard wont go on the zx7 forks with the fronf mouting lugs still in place. I just cut them off and sanded it all smooth no you wouldn't even know that they were there. As for the ignition barrel i mouted mine in the hole in the frame where the ram air duct used to be. I also looked at putting it in the hole just above the foot peg but i think your foot would hit the key so i shelved that idea. Another idea i had was to mount it just above the clutch cover off the to two faring mount nutserts in the frame. My speedo is mounted where the key used to be and it works just fine, it keeps the top triple nice and clean.You can also get the speedo nice and centreal

NINJAINOZ
24-10-2012, 07:57 PM
I dont mind the look of the later model front guard, I will just have to go with that considering I already have one

I also thought about fitting the key on the side of the frame above the footpeg but breaking the key etc is possible, I decided to move my headlight out a bit & that will give me just enough room to put the speedo in front of the ignition & still have it sitting in the middle
I have a small sheet of aluminium here I can make a bracket out of for the speedo, Should be pretty easy

NINJAINOZ
24-10-2012, 09:02 PM
Well the easiest part is done, Im going to use the ignition barrel mounts to fit it to the top clamp, Notching it out to fit around the ignition barrel is the next part, Maybe tomorrow if I get time?

It's looking real good mate. I'd be interested in grabbing your zxr forks when you do the conversion. i have a second bike i'm going to start building up but i need forks. let me know how you go. what muffler is that you're running. it looks good.

BANDITROD
27-10-2012, 10:51 PM
looks like a delvic or maybe dan moto one to me

NINJAINOZ
28-10-2012, 10:57 AM
I will PM you Mr.ZXR

Yeah Banditrod is correct it is a Danmoto muffler, Its actually a ZX9R muffler & pretty much fits straight on with the Delkevic ZX9 Stainless headers

For a cheap muffler it is a rather nice, I thought it would have been a bit louder but it soaks up the noise rather well probably due to the size of it & maybe the shape? I need to get my bike through a blue slip & if im lucky enough I will get away with this muffler, There is baffles available for them to quieten it down even more too so that is an option

The typical round style Danmoto muffler would be a bit louder im guessing but I like the shape which is a similar shape to some of the mufflers on modern bikes, I will shorten it later on & it should sound even better

Be quick they only have limited stock ;)

I got the speedo mount sorted, Took a bit of stuffing round shaping the bit that goes around the ignition barrel by hand, Would be too easy just pressing buttons to cut it out

I could trace a template if anyone would like to make a similar speedo mount, It bolts on in between the ignition barrel & the triple clamp, You may need to skim a few mm off the triple clamp ignition barrel mounts for the steering lock to line up with the hole in the frame

I just need to get hold of a Trailtech Vapor Stealth (Black) speedo kit & another dash surround like the one in the pics, I wll give the mount a coat of black to blend it all in + I dont want the sun reflecting off it into my eyes

The speedo surround in the pics is held in place with a bit of blue-tac at the bottom of it, A little bit more angle on the mount & I might be able to bring the headlight back closer to the forks again

Does that dash use the cable for speed or is it electronic?

NINJAINOZ
28-10-2012, 07:13 PM
No it uses a magnetic electronic pickup, You may be able to get a cable to electronic setup but you can program this speedo to suit just about any size wheel

Picked up a single seat tail last night (From the airport) that was sent from Perth on the plane yesterday morning, Not bad going from the west coast to the east coast then Sydney to Coffs Harbour in one day, Would be nice if Auspost could send things that fast

Not too bad for $130 including freight, It has a bit of a scuff mark on the top section but no cracks, It will look nice when fitted

Need to get a set of ZX7R forks & someone to buy my old forks & get a speedo on there & it is pretty much ready to go on the road, Not much else left to do really for now?

I tried the single seat tail on, ZX7R front guard is just sitting on there to see what it would look like
I was able to drop the pillion seat mount & cable/latch setup & trim some crap off around the taillight mount so it has dropped a bit of weight off the back hopefully

I dont mind the look of the single seat tail, I dont really care for trying to make it look like a 2000+ model with a small tail on the back, Maybe later on

With the tail being second hand it of course did not come with any fitting instructions (Not sure if they would anyway) & for some reason I had to lift the taillight up a bit to make it all line up which is a good thing really because it looks a bit better now, I will have to get some side on pics to compare

I had to trim off some of the rear subframe & the plastic guard under the tail so it is not sticking out, With all the bits n pieces I have removed or trimmed off it has made a difference
The rear suspension seems to have gone up a bit, Looking at the rear footpeg mount bolts & the top of the tyre it has a bit more gap now, Overall the power to weight ratio should be noticeable when I am finished, Now if I could drop 10-20Kgs myself it would be great

Not sure if it will be before Chrissy at this stage? Need to sort out the speedo & change the forks, Fab some mounts for the brake & clutch reservoirs, Nothing major but dollars are becoming tight at this time of year

Are you still interested in the forks, Lower clamp & a set of calipers?

[QUOTE=NINJAINOZ;373124] Fab some mounts for the brake & clutch reservoirs,

Mate. try and get a hold of some ZX9 reservoirs. It really cleans up the front.

NINJAINOZ
05-11-2012, 09:11 AM
I looked at the ZX9 master cylinders & almost bought a set but the thing I dont like about them is the fact that when they are fitted to bars that are sitting flat like mine are now the top of the master cylinder/cap is then angled down towards the forks which means you gotta lean the bike over a bit to top them up & I just would not like the look, If they did not have the angle I probably would have bought a set + I reckon they would have to be quite a bit heavier than the ZXR750 master cylinders?

I know it is nothing major & it will not affect how they work but I am fussy & it may annoy me, Im not sure of the amount of angle it hard to tell with just pics of the master cylinders alone
Does anyone have any pics of ZX9 master cylinders sitting on flat bars, Im curious to see how they look, Im looking at getting a different set of bars (FLY carbon sno bend) & they will allow me to angle the bars slightly down which might work well with the ZX9 master cylinders

I like the look of the BXP reservoirs that go straight into the master cylinder, I may go with a set of them to clean it up>

Getting down to the last little bits n pieces
I have been looking round at some different type of mirrors, I was going to spend a bit more on a different set of mirrors but I came across the Koso GT mirrors & read a few reviews from dirtbike riders that would give them a good work out & some that have fitted them on the Kawasaki Versys etc & they have mostly said they were great & work just fine, Anyone tried them?

For $12 (Including postage) I thought I would give them a try, Works out at just under $20 for the mirrors & some mounts, Not bad at all

I was looking into the ignition system options & almost bought an advanced ignition rotor, For a bit more money I can get a DYNA programmable ignition which would work out much better in the long run, It will fit the ZXR 750 & it will also work on the ZX9 motor if I upgrade later on, I can also buy the DYNA coils & leads together as a package too
I have been curious if there was any options for performance coils? The bike seems to run fine but considering the bike is near 20 years old im sure the coils would be getting tired?

If you change the back half of your mastercylinder clamps
to ones from a bike designed to have bar mounted mirrors
It'll be similar price, neater and not look like an afterthought.

My Busa has GSX14 ones.
Most manufacturers don't make their masters they only
buy them in so many models interchange.

NINJAINOZ
15-11-2012, 04:05 PM
I looked at the clamps to go on the back of my master cylinders & found some but for $20 each & not knowing whether they would fit for sure?
Thought I would just go with the billet ones I found for $8 for the pair including postage, There is plenty enough room in between the switch housings & the master cylinders to fit the mirror mounts & the mirrors will have a little bit more adjustment not having to be on the same angle that the master cylinder is on, The mirrors I am getting are adjustable at the mount but some mirrors are not, I will have the mirror mounts out the front out of the way so they will look & work fine

i'm running dyna coils. i have had them for years and never any problem. i don't know if you'll get much more out of it though. if you advance much more than 5 degrees it'll start knocking and you can get a better spark by running different plugs. NGK CR9EK plugs are the the go for the old zxr. they're not cheap but they are good.

Picked up a single seat tail last night (From the airport) that was sent from Perth on the plane yesterday morning, Not bad going from the west coast to the east coast then Sydney to Coffs Harbour in one day, Would be nice if Auspost could send things that fast

Not too bad for $130 including freight, It has a bit of a scuff mark on the top section but no cracks, It will look nice when fitted



This was my old tail i had sitting in the garage, i gave it away to some guy in perth, i didnt know until later research that this is a zx7-rr race tail with the tail light cut out, small world ey.

Looking into different batteries I came across the much much lighter Lithium ion batteries at around 0.8kg compared to around 4kg for a stock (YTX9BS) battery
I have read a few threads on here about the A123 etc battery packs but would like to go with something with a warranty & hopefully proven to be reliable & wont turn into a fireball
Apparently they can be charged with a normal 12v car charger too which makes it easier not having to buy a special charger & supposedly more than 10 Years design life, All sounds good but....

I received the DYNA coils & leads today & just fitted them this arvo, It starts much easier (It started pretty easy before but now its even better & I still dont have a choke cable fitted) & it picked the idle up nearly a few hundred RPM, I had to drop the idle back down, I had a feeling the near 20 year old coils & leads were buggered
I think the DYNA crank trigger & ignition module will make it run even better again

Got a few other goodies also, A new billet black fuel cap to put on the freshly painted tank & bought some stainless allen heads to fit it, A very nice looking billet master cylinder reservoir all the way from Osnabruck in Germany for just under $74 including postage
Damn nice quality item, Excellent fit & finish, Only takes about 5 minutes to fit, I could hardly see where the top cap screws on to the body when it is screwed together

Do you currently have access to the vacuum piping under the airbox? If so can you take some pics or diagram of where all the piping goes and comes from. I can't find anything on the net.

I tried the float bowl vacuum mod on the weekend which didn't work for me and am trying to reinstall everything, but I think I have some hoses in the wrong places.

Cheers, Jed

I have also done the float bowl / clean air vent mod & it all went good, Where did you run the carb vent hose to? I ran mine out the right side & straight up into the airbox into the rubber grommet on the right so basically this tube is venting in between the filter & the carby's so it would have a bit of vacuum in this position, Block off any other left over holes in the airbox & plug the tubes coming from under the manifolds/intake after the mod & it should be good?

NINJAINOZ

Yeah I have read about pressurising from the front of the airbox in some guides
If we were to fit a superbike style airbox with the carby's in the airbox the bowls would also be pressurised or?
It would only be pressurising at high speed anyway too

In this guide it mentions at the bottom of the Float Bowl Mod section - "Note: No matter how you connect it, connect the line where the clean air is, between the air filter and the carbs." ?
http://www.jonesisland.com/7r/motor/

I will try mine out both ways later on even though it is mentioned in a few guides to run it to the front of the airbox but the guide I found at the time said to run it into the conveniently placed grommet on the right side of the airbox just above the bowl vent hose

This is the one I did. When you run the bike and rev when it's stationary all is good. When you get it out on the road it won't rev past about 8 grand. Feels like the slides aren't working.

Have you had your out on the road since you've done the mod?

Rod - did you change to smaller jets like they suggest? And did you notice any performance gains at all?

It's a pain in the arse with these bikes as you have to put it all back together and ride it to see if it works. I've lost count how many times over the last few days I've had the tanks and airbox off.

08-01-2013, 06:29 PM
Nah Jed I have not had a legal ride since I have owned it ;) & have not ridden it since the clean air mod
When I got it there was a big hesitation when you blipped the throttle from idle & it did not like starting & idled like an old tractor
Now it is totally different, It more than likely will not be 100% dialled in but im confident that it will not have any hesitation or spluttering

I have read about being able to go down to smaller main jets but then I have also read about people having to lift the needles (Shim) up & get more fuel in so I guess it would be different for every bike & different jetting, Compression, valve clearances etc are all going to be different on bikes this old so its just trial & error for each one?
I will keep it running rich for now, Probably better than possibly making it too lean?

Do you have stock coils Jed? I could not believe the difference the Dyna coils & leads made, I was going to shorten the new Dan Moto muffler I have fitted cause I thought it made it too quiet but the way it sounds now I may not have to, It is actually way louder now & just sounds way more crisp especially at idle

No worries Jed about the hijack, Its all good info that will hopefully help us & other people out

Jed
09-01-2013, 08:34 AM
Got it all sorted last night. I had replaced all the pipes and was still not running clean. I thought i had set it back up the wrong way but turned out I had just fowled a plug. All good now though. I just wanted to do the float bowl mod to see what difference it made, but for some reason just wouldn't work for me. I should just leave that shit alone as the carbs I'm running haven't been tuned or balanced for about 5 years and are still spot on.

Just to let you know what specs I'm running for your comparison

As you might know I have put a ZX9 motor in and are using the 750 carbs. Carb set up is the same as what I was running on the 750 except I have shimmed up the needles by 1mm. Running 200 and 190 main jets and advanced the timing +5.

I am still running the stock coils. I might look at updating them one day. Where did you get your from.

I am running the same main jets but not on a ZX9 motor unfortunately, I dont have the ignition advanced but I will be getting a DYNA 2000 ignition later on some time & I will be able to advance it much better with different curves, Would be best to get it on the road first if I can hold back on doing more things to it? Seems to get out of hand with these projects

I got the coils & leads from one seller on ebay USA for about $166AU including combined postage via priority mail & received them pretty fast, I will PM the details if you like?

I just received my new FLY carbon sno bars & they were sent via first class mail on the 3rd, That is damn fast from the USA via first class mail, I find first class mail can be just as quick as prioity mail but it is a bit of a gamble with no proper tracking, Damn good price & service from bikers-planet.com (http://stores.channeladvisor.com/bikers-planet), I paid about $20 for the postage
I cant wait to get them fitted now

I am going to give an old ZX7 shock a try, I will have to modify the battery box mount setup and fab some kind of aluminium cradle to replace the stock YTX12-BS with the YTX9-BS (ZXR 750 M model) battery that is 25mm shorter so I can get some clearance for the shock reservoir

This is the ZX7 shock I found, Should work a bit better than the old shock in there now?>

Turns out the old ZX7 shock I found is actually a ZX750N / ZX7RR shock according to the 96-03 ZX7R / ZX7RR manual I have, The lower damping adjustment screw is different to the ZX7R setup, Hopefully the ZX7RR shock is even better than a ZX7R shock? Either way it is not bad for $42US ( $93AU Including postage to OZ), Its not an Ohlins but I wont be racing & it should be an improvement

I tracked down the fender eliminator that will bolt on to the 2 bolts under the taillight (they are 140mm / 5.5" apart C-C), A nice little setup to fit the number plate & the blinkers + it is coated black, For $15 including postage its a pretty damn good deal>

Here you go Kartras (The clue was in the pic, Creese1/ebay)>

http://www.ebay.com/itm/330564040178?item=330564040178&viewitem=&vxp=mtr

For some reason there is no proper pics in the listing above but I found the RSV4 fender eliminator & said I wanted that one & it works perfect on a ZXR 750, I can slide the single seat tail on & off with the fender eliminator & LED blinkers still fitted & it looks pretty stock with it mounted, The number plate will be sitting in a reasonable spot that the law should not make a fuss about & the blinkers are mounted the required distance apart

I can get some pics with it fitted soon when I get round to it, Would be nice to bolt a number plate on it soon too

You could win the $15 one & tell him you want the RSV4 fender eliminator if you like the same as I did, I basically used the lack of proper pics & details to my advantage & got the $30 one for $15, Or you could email him & tell him which one you need>

Thanks Kartras, I seem to be getting off track all the time but its slowly getting there, I just got hold of some ZX7 wheels for a good price (Just one of the tyres is worth what I paid for the wheels with tyres) so I might be fitting a later model ZX7 swingarm also if I can find one for a good price?

There is heaps to choose from, A GSXR logo fender eliminator with blinker mounts if possible would be nice on your bike?

The ZX7 Shock is in, Looks much tidier, I have removed the battery mount plastic & trimmed about 33mm off the bottom, I have some 3mm aluminium sheet to fab a new mount for the battery which will now sit up higher to make room for the ZX7 shock reservoir

I got hold of a set of ZX7 wheels with Metzeler Sportec M1 tyres with plenty of tread left (front is not far off new) & a bonus set of ZX7 forks, The tyres even though they are secondhand would be worth what I paid all up
Running out of room in my shed so....I will probably get rid of the forks cheap if anyone is interested
