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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
