I'll have a go at anything, not always the proper way but I do try, take my videos as light humour and for entertainment only, the way I work on bikes or anything else may not be the correct way to do it as suggested by the manufacturer. I usually have more fails than success but it keeps my mind and body working rather than sat in front of the tv playing the PS4
So what did you do to get the RSV running again? it's too bad you have to worry about noise standards over there. We'd love the sound of that Giannelli pipe! Makes that 1000cc sound like it has a nice big set of balls😈
@@ThrottleResponse I think it was due to the bike standing a long time but mainly a bad battery, it starts first time now, next video out tonight so ill start it up again.
Hey Jason ! I’m trying to reach out to you for a question.. I need to replace the gearbox on my thunderace but after removing all parts including screws and bolts it is impossible to take off this lower crank case.. it seems like there is still screws but I don’t see any.. do I need to open the whole engine including the top to get access to this crank case ? Thank you
@@hugogendre7557 Your English is better than my French. Yes you have to split the cases with the engine upside down. Check for bolts near Crank main journals etc. probably missed one there.
@@jasonparker333 I think my question is not clear. To disassemble the two lower crankcases, do I need to remove the cylinders and unscrew bolts 21 and 22 (located underneath the piston sleeves)?
What do you expect for £1500 it looks like a good bike. Sounds like poor fuel thats where i would start it did start at first the tick over was poor . Drain rhe tank change the plugs give her a new battery , then see what happens . Turns over ok . Should be an easy fix .
Hey mate just been watching your vids what’s happening with the thunder race cylinder head? Do you have any scrape heads and we have something in common we both love Germany shepherds 👍
I might be able to help you out with your head I have a flow bench and all the valve seat cutting machine I use to do heads for a living but took a break but I still have all the equipment do you have a email I could drop you a message
No idea yet, the 2 x 600f are rough, I was gonna do up and/or maybe use both bikes to make 1 track bike. The RF900 I think I may hang onto that as you never know they sky rocket like ford Escorts have done lol when I was 17 I had about 10 MK2 escorts, if only id kept them
To make the intakes, it might be easiest to 3d print some as masters and cast from them (either as patterns, or “lost wax “ type casting). This would give you something close that would just need some machining. It would not be complicated to design and 3d print.
@@jasonparker333 , ah, slight flaw in my plan! While probably not viable for you for now, look up “Making for motorsport” . Car based channel but he has a video on designing and making an intake manifold
@@karlvanboxel561 , there are 3d printing resins designed specifically for lost wax type casting. Mostly for jewelry making. Price is fine for small parts, but not sure for larger parts. There are also filaments for filament printers designed for this.
Its a good idea, its a pity the idf clones are not well made compared to the weber originals and there is play between the throttle shaft bearing and the carb body, i have a idf 44 clone fitted to my trx850 which is similar to your yamaha with less cylinders
Think you can turn the cable connection lever on the carb over so the cable can come down and pull on the lever. Think the end of the operating lever is on a rectangle on the end of the shaft. As to angle, think the original FZ750 engine was designed to lean forward 45 degrees. For the FZR and later think they leaned the whole engine back about 5 degrees so the barrels were in effect only ~40 degrees leant forward.
@@jasonparker333 my experience with these carbs (and the Dellorto equivalents) is from ages ago on cars (Alfa boxer engines). On those there is one carb per bank with the 2 carbs parallel to each other. And they are about 2' apart! There is a bar across the engine which connects to the throttle cable The ends of this bar then connect to the throttles on the carbs (using small plastic links clipped onto balls - like tiny cheap rose joints). Possible you could do something similar. Throttle cable connect to the bar on one side of the head and the link bar running behind the cylinders. The 2 adjustable rose joint linkages from the bar, 1 to each carb (so you can adjust them close for basic balancing). On the Thunderace engine could maybe mount a bar like this using the bolts for the coolant connections on the back of the barrels). If you connect to the carbs in the centre of the engine it limits any potential issues for clearance between the carbs and the frame. No need to connect up the choke mechanism. Accelerator pumps do the job! On the cars when cold, jump in, pump the throttle 4 times then crank the engine.
If you’re going with these carbs: 1. Make a linkage between the two banks and run a modified cable to connect at the centre using the existing routing. 2. Have adapter rings made to connect the new manifolds to the existing inlet ports. 3. Check you have enough height under the tank to allow the carbs to breathe freely. Getting interesting 😁👍
Hello. I have the exact same clocks and loom but rpm won't work. I've changed the rpm gauge for one that works and still won't play ball. 😂 I know the one I have fitted is slightly different but still fits in the housing anything that might be causing this issue I have tryed the old one with down and nothings happing compared to the "new" one I had lying about 😅😅
Nope, no transport to take frame for blasting etc. I did buy some stainless wheel spokes though for it, as soon as I can drive again it will be stripped and sent off for blasting and painting etc.
I used a VFR750 swing arm instead of a VFR800. Had a special link made and use spacers either side of the link to hold the dogbone in place. Can send you pictures of my project
Hi Jason, just a thought. With the weight perhaps have two drop down menu’s. One for whole values and the other for .00, .25, etc. Also I would think it is the total weight not just one side? I’m sure some folks will find it useful 😁
Hmmm its a tricky one. What about a Ducati swing arm? Or maybe a different linkage, the tringle bit, I can't remember its real name. Or just thinking while watching, can the shock relocate towards the chain side?
Hi. just a thought but the length of the con rod doesn't change the capacity of the cylinder the stroke remains the same, the stroke is defined by the throw of the crank i.e. the difference between the centres at top dead centre and bottom dead centre.👍
I must admit that I thought the stroke was defined by the rod length, I was thinking along the lines of if I have for an extreme example a rod length of 100feet then the piston, ...actually yes you are correct, its the crank isnt it, if I have a crank web that circles a diameter of 4 inch but the next crank web has a diameter of 6 inch then even if the rods are the same length the 6 inch one would travel further, is that right?
i look yours videos with yamaha frame and single side swing arms with all my attention. very cool project, i hope i can make the same next year on my YZFR 750 for track (if is not big trouble maker for stance or rigidity). it's incrédible to me to have a men tracing the way to do it! sorry my english is not the best i'm french guy.
