RUNAMUCK Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 Most excellent build Kicker-san. Defo a thread worth watching. 1 Quote
Vintage Grumble Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 I'm disgusted I didn't find the build thread earlier. This is so far up my alley, it's touching a lung. 1 4 Quote

thegreatestben Posted June 2, 2022 Posted June 2, 2022 I just had a better read through your thread on the laptop instead of phone. That engine is going to be super sweet, I had a bandit 1200 at one point and it was such a smooth effortless engine. The fronte's were always fun to pest around in with Joe & John but bleeding from the ears is probably not great long term! 1 Quote
Popular Post kicker Posted June 3, 2022 Popular Post Posted June 3, 2022 Yeah, I'm thinking it should at least be more drivable than other conversions, it may be 50hp down on a similar age R1 but it has a bit more torque that peaks 4500rpm earlier, may as well fit a towbar haha Fronte pesting is amazing, all the noise. This is one of my favourite vids, I expect it to grenade every time I watch That's what 44hp sounds like, 22% increase over stock which was still 100hp per litre 12 Quote
Nominal Posted July 3, 2022 Posted July 3, 2022 Nice going @kicker - sounds good and no unwanted fires Quote
kicker Posted July 3, 2022 Posted July 3, 2022 Cheers I did have the fire extinguisher just out of shot with the thinking that if I didn't have it handy then I definitely would have needed it. No leaks from anything too, surprised myself 3 Quote
kicker Posted July 3, 2022 Posted July 3, 2022 One downside to taking so long getting it together is that the 80,000k engine is actually a 98,000k engine Still, it sounds healthy enough. The life of a sports tourer is probably the best way to put km's on. 1 Quote
GregT Posted August 5, 2022 Posted August 5, 2022 It's not unkinown to put a larger OD impellor in the waterpump to increase circulation speed. I'd probably have tried that first before going electric. Nice work so far though. Quote
kicker Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 Didn't seem to be much room to spare inside, do you change the pump housing too? I had previously discounted an electric pump as the prices were high but found a seller recently who had them for $300 so decided to go for it, plus now I can see what is happening in the cooling system.

GregT Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 Often there is room for a bigger impeller. Might be worth a look across the Suzuki range to see if there's a bigger pump used somewhere. They all seem to have the same OD where they plug into the cases. Maybe Hyabusa ? Agree a remote pump lets you test circulation rates etc. Quote
