Yeah I'm pretty happy with it jinx, the stack it had that put it on the write off list was just bent forks,
They put a new set on and it handles great!
And red 130 is just the start of top gear......

Nice eh lol

Might have to pop in to see you in a couple of weeks mate. Just in Brissy now but on my way to Roma, then back to Melb on Fri. I should be back for a couple of weeks 2nd week of April
i ran 16/42 on mine, once it was jetted properly, it meant that second was a good gear for slow speed (25kph) commuting not too snatchy, plenty of punch when their was a gap. I also found power pures were pretty good rain or shine at about 25psi cold, give or take.Quote:

If you know any 1 with old school kwaka or even if we are sick that day
suzi roller cranks and you don't want to spend 2.5k to 3.5 k for a felecon crank in states.
Trust me when I say more than a bit of effort and a life time of exp has gone into makeing these things
a lot truer and better than anything else I have come across :-))
I rode the new KTM990 smt at work yesterday (in fact I have ridden 87 different bikes in the last week)........WHAT A FUKIN WEAPON!!!!!!!!! I want one.
But until I win lotto I'll have to stick with my 640, which with its new 40 tooth rear is a lot more lively down low,
I could probably go up to a 42 and drop the front to 16 and really have some fun, but I'm doing 45km a day on it so I need to be particle, and I wanna stay on it too.
I also spent a few hours cable tying, greasing, tightening, cleaning all that stuff you wanna do to a new bike, I also swapped out the old 60/55 headlight bulb for a 100/90 so I can see and I turned the headlight up the rite way (after it just passed a RWC)
I'm looking at getting a MX rear guard of another bike and chopping the subframe down to spruce up the look a bit too.

RIGHT!!!! Ripped into my engine today,
I'm pretty happy with what I have found, the head is in great condition, I reckon a valve grind and clean and it's done.

The barrels need a bit of work, I can still see the hone marks but however long sitting idle has produced some surface rust,
I may get away with just a hone but I need to look at them a bit more:
But no scores or burn marks! Yay!!!!

Overall berry fucken happy with my $300 engine!
If anyone has any info on the markings and numbers on the slugs and rods please let me know.
Is that a j motor
It's an 1100 b1 it has the direct ports into the head from the old injection.
cool crank looks clean but you wont know till you pull it out
or you just doing a top end rebuild
Im doing a Full build, I have the cases that Had aqua blasted to swap it all into.
Rite I have found out the slugs are a WIESCO 1105 cc kit for a Z1000J so maybe standard for a GPZ11??
Pulled the bottem end down this arvo and in super happy with what I have found.
-clutch looks mint
-crank looks mint
-gears look mint
In fact it looks like a brand new bottom end!

Crank looks mint but still needs to be inspected
Yeah I have only had a quick look over it, there is a very very small bit of side play on the big ends but i think thats acceptable,
no up or down movement
The mains roll smooth and quietly.
What else should I be looking for mate?
Very unlikely that bearings are no good
Look for water damage atl end
Maybe check for true
Prob a few other things I can't think of ATM I'm still learning some of this lol
"nobody beats super a mart"
Even for garage work bench's..... Got a new dining table with one chair for $89!
I couldn't even buy the material to build myself a bench for that.
