What I did today...

I also did this......

You bought Minions???

[WETTY]

The engine went in as I bought it. I was told it was a runner, so I assumed it would be ok. Lesson learnt, next time strip the motor and rebuild it before putting it in.

return it for warranty

My son would be so proud of you right now.
You got it in one !!!

return it for warranty

Sadly there's no warranty on it as it was bought off a mate of a mate 15 moths ago. I had intended to rebuild it before putting it in, but when the other engine had issues, I just put it in without touching it.

Maybe you can build 1 from the broken 2
Get yaself a manual and hook in

What are the intake lengths for the bottom and top bits Jamie? its funny how they just turn on the extension pieces for the uppers, so simple.

Keeping an eye on the oil temp hotness

Oooo, fancy!! That would be unreal data to have. And would edjumacate people better about how water temp does not equal oil temp. "Yeah, I warmed my bike up to 60 degrees on the dash first thing in the morning, then gave it the berries!" Oh, good one; that will promote engine longevity......

It'd be great if you could share the results

[Kris]

Indeed! water does not equal oil :P

Will share the results if you're interested - earlier RSV4 engines in SBK form had issues with oil foaming and extreme heat so will be monitoring this closely...

[Marshy]

It would be great to know.

Interestingly the 09 Factory runs very hot compared to the 2013 R. I haven't yet worked out why, as the R feels slightly more powerful (bugger all in it though, now I've got the Race map ECU in the 09). The R will sit at 86 all day, even in 40 degree heat, whereas the 09 is at 98-100. Odd. The radiator in the R is the massively bent and straightened one, so cooling would be way less. The 09 rad is in mint condition.

The reason is because of the engine casing.

In 2012, they revised the engine casing and changed the bearings over to roller bearing, they basically enlarged the breathing holes at the bottom of the cylinder and also enlarged the crankcase breathing holes in the bottom of the case walls, in combination with the new roller bearings on the balancing shaft etc this reduced friction and reduced heat. The new cases allow the engine to breath far better which increased power by 4hp. This is why the earlier engines in SBK form used to overheat the oil and foam it.

Ive got photos of both types of casings somewhere.

You can modify 09/10/11 casing to bring it up to 2013 specs with new roller bearings and a dremel to open up the ports.

Sounds like a shit loads of work for 4hp...Easy fix... buy a Kawa.....Runs cool....and run straight past RSV4's

[Kris]

He's still faster than you with less power :P

09 vs 13 engine - in 4 years its natural to see a number of improvements, especially because the 09 was the first year of sale.

Compare the 13 ZX10 motor to the 09 ZX10 motor....

Sold trackie....too many issues.....headwork = overheating.
But loved the kawa handling brought another... Ã**½Ã*²šÃ**½Ã*²šÃ**½Ã*²šÃ**½Ã*²š

Not so much what i did today, but yesterday... an early mark from work allowed me to go to my tiny lock up/workshop to put on new levers, keyless fuel cap, size up rain light bracketry, size up lap timer bracketry, put in some new dzus fasteners on and general milling about and fiddling with new tools and parts. Mainly drooling and day dreaming over the recent Kurveygirl package with vesrah!

Not much i know but gave me my fix.

Must be cold working out in that polar vortex tho?!

[James_]

FKN FREEZING. about 4 degrees, plus windchill. I also put plugs in belly pan. Lost feeling in fingers trying to squeeze grommet in.

Ill be posting a whole bunch in my uk thread when I can be bothered to d/l off andriod.

[Turtle]

NFI where I'd get those. See that's why I'll just have to take old girl to an expert. Might take her for a revival trip to Wetty's when he's dun fishin and lounging in the sun.

What year and size is the girl? Can use mine for measurements if it's around same era? K4 600.

[stevem]

022.JPGThe sub frame on this thing has been off to the right ever since I have owned it. .With the seat unit on it's not quite as bad but the frame it self is 12mm off centre . So off to Smithfield at some stage this week. I pulled it off completely and checked the lugs for damage and all is good so a good chance to detail the back area and back on for straightening.

[WETTY]

he needs it on the bike to straighten it bagger

[stevem]

Yeah ,I just took it off to check the frame and lugs and give it a clean ,it's back now .So your still alive ?

[WETTY]

yes , just

[Phat3R]

Thx Turtle ... K1 600 ... don't worry ... she's been flipped quite a few times by me, so I think she's due a professional straightening from Laurie.

[Marshy]

Shit mate; hope it doesn't slow you down any. Hang on, yes I do! Sorry about that

[stevem]

Should be lighter now.

[WETTY]

Should be lighter now.

Braaaaap!! Love it!!

[Marshy]

How the heck did you get your hands on a RSP40?!? And when do the TRVP25 forks arrive?

[Kris]

hahaha :P TRVP25 ... maybe, but not now. That would mean new clamps, new brake calipers, custom axle yada yada... I just had some Ktech SSRKs put into my current forks and I really haven't been able to fault the forks or their feel with the IMA clamps.
