RSV4 Track Build

[WRCPUG]

I have been reading some of these awesome build threads on here and thought id put up a few pics and info on what I’m about to undertake.

Its not going to be a super crazy build just a budget track bike as i still need to find myself a replacement road bike. I know that Nick has built a billion of these so hopefully you can let me know if i'm doing anything or chip in with any advice as I go along.

I hit a wallaby last month at the Reefton spur and it ruptured my oil cooler and radiator and i ended up not being able to stop in time and left the road at 40kph and down the side of the embankment.
The bike landed on top of my leg and was still running ( tilt sensor fucked if i know why it didn't work??). The bike was idling almost upside down for about 10-15 secs.

Long story short i ended up buying the bike back from Insurance for as it was too cheap to pass up. The damage is mainly cosmetic and was deemed an uneconomic writeoff. Not a stat.
Frame is straight and not a dint, all controls are fine, forks are perfect swing-arm ect. Bike has about 14,000kms. I bought it at 6,000 and its never seen the track.

Bike- 2010 RSV4 Factory (non APRC)

First thing on my list is to get the radiators fixed and test fire it as im weary as it was running upside down.
As the bike was upside down I will have to clean the airfilter and airbox of any oil. Put a new oil filter and fresh oil.
Any other advice before starting it up once a bikes been down before?


The planned list of things to do so far-
Fit Race glass and GB engine covers from Marshy
Get the valve clearances checked and adjusted before it hits the track
Install my 19mm Brembo M/C from the CBR
Possibly fit heavier fork and shock springs and get the sags sorted.
Crash knobs of some sort….maybe axle sliders
Fit New Brake pads- Recommendations please for good track pads
Fit slicks-

Any other advice before hitting the track with a RSV4?

Cant wait to get this thing fixed up and to Phillip Island.

Here are some photos of the strip down so far. Will post more as I progress










Shitload of oil all over the rear



All caused by this bastard
