Finally starting my engine diagnosis, pulled it out and dismantled the block to start measuring everything
Let us know how this turns out - very interested. Thx.Next tidbit of information regards gearbox configurations, the gsxs uses the k5-8 gearbox which has a very tall 1st gear, there is an aftermarket gear from robinsons , this lowers the ratio in first a little, but ive found the earlier k3/4 gearbox is interchangable, it has much better ratio's for a roadbike, lower ratio 1st, 2nd, plus a taller 6th gear, which is something ive wanted, so im buying a low milage k4 gearset which i can get set up to go in my cases
Bad news today....JE have stuffed up my custom piston order, apparently cant read their own computer order form, though i actually suspect its been done out of spite due to the sole powersports representative being a complete tosser, so now ive got a 3mm bigger block awaiting some pistons over in the usa, looks like im going to have reconfigure off the shelf pistons , which are mostly 13.5:1 comp ratio, others are 10:1 to suit turbo's, if i cant get the off the shrlf ones remachined ill use a thicker cometic gasket plus maybe plane the block to get near optimum squish clearence, but lower compression figures, even millenihm tech are amazed at JE's tech guys arrogance, but its really been athe waste of 5 months of my riding time that pisses me off the most, and however long it will take to remedy a certain billy ramsey's incompetenceFinally heard today!!! , the JE pistons have been finished and are on their way to millenium....ive been getting frustrated about the delays, chewing my nails with withdrawl symptoms, just a few more weeks till i can start reassembling it
