Wants - a really nice 1200 daytona to replace the one I sold to my future son in law !!!!!! May be of interest - currently fitting a 1200 daytona engine (no bike) with 955I liners and pistons and a set of 40mm rs mikunis. I am determined to get the 147 bhp out of one of these engines. Best stock engine I have had was 126rwhp best I could manage after lots of fiddling was 141rwhp. I also sponsor and mechanic for a British superstock 1000 team so can be found in the paddock at most bsb events. Located in melton mowbray leicestershire
Yes your right it was 147 @ crank claimed I just want that at rear wheel. An easy mod to the daytona is to fit 1000 ignited lead I think it was yellow instead of green or other way round. It gives the engine more advance at the top end and the power climes more rather than levelling off at around 7500rpm. I suppose fitting a 750 lead to a 900 May have the same effect but not tried it.
Some of you guys are saying I must have a big garage, actually don't have a garage , bought an old run down nursing home a couple of years ago and have taken 3 of the 13 bedrooms over for the bikes - central heating and all. I told the wife that it was never the plan though !!!
I say chaps, he has a nursing home! We can expand!! Nursey and Matron will be delighted! I'm gonna start packing my crayons right away!
It was a home for the mentally ill so you lot would fit right in !!. Got some new tyres on the technomagnsio's yesterday so will be getting them in the ss tonight - can't wait to give them a go.
I know it's not a triumph but important lesson leant last night 200 tyre on a 6" rim won't fit in a ducati 900ss
Oops!! What a silly billy! In fairness though, I almost did something similar ... only just got away with it.
