Project Black Ice (sv650) begins.

[FROSTY]

After a practice day down at manfeild I thought Black Ice had potental to be a race winner.I did a heap of research and have a plan of whats gotta be done.
The first thing to do was decent suspension.Ive been lucky enough to get a gsxr600 rear shock set already for about my weight.(thanks MR)
With the help of the team at Motohause this was fitted and the battery mount hacked away till it worked. The front end was restripped and the oil and shimms lightened a touch.still very spongy pud under brakes and wallowy but at least ridable.
Engine wise I've fitted the factory filter back in then I had the bike dyno'd and its putting out 62.8hp but the power curve dropps off steeply at 9200rpm so Ive got punch out of corners but run out of grunt pretty quickly.
Watch this space though Ive got a gsxr600 front end to go in there now to stiffen the front end a tadd.
Power wise I dunno. I want at least the same grunt the injected SV's have outa the box -Im hoping someday that a pretty box of bits will turn up --but thats at least a month away.

Are you talking about 911 frosty?

[FROSTY]

911 has very negative meaning--so the bike is now Officially Black Ice

Cool sounding name for your bike Tony, but a bit risky. Hope the bike does not prove to be as treacherous as it's name sake:thud:

[El Dopa]

Hey Frosty. Just caught up with this thread.
I was on the SV650 at the Fred Merkel Taupo thing with you. Good to hear you have gone SV for racing. I will do this summer what I should have done 2 summers ago and convert my SV into a race bike. See you around and hope to swop info.
Cheers

[FROSTY]

heres where we are up to so far --sorta the naked truth ya could say
no fairings no front brakes, no tailpiece --ohh man I need to pull my finger out.
Hey cleve--so when we gonna see ya out there?--are you running a nekkid or faired sv? -

[Cleve]

asap Frosty.
Contacted Just Fairings in Hamilton about GSXR600 race fairings they do that can fit onto SV's.
http://www.justfairings.co.nz/SV650_01.html
About $800 for the lot. Still looking around.

[FROSTY]

cleve--Ive got a complete fairing set from a gsxr600 fairing top/bottom/blade/tailpiece. --SVS who races another sv650 fitted one to his
gimme a yell if you want the one ive got --sure wont be $800

[Cleve]

Cheers Frosty. Once started I will be in touch.

[FROSTY]

heres progress so far -dare I say it--looking sayxy

[justsomeguy]

heres progress so far -dare I say it--looking sayxy

Grrr - you bloody tease - show us the whole bike.... what's with the half naked pic - we want full nudity.:headbang:

[GSVR]

I've prepared my bike early for Taupo. New rear tyre (another Pilot Power) and fitted the racetail SVS sold me. Gone for the Obese Retard Bike look. Pissed off as I can't go riding this weekend now.

I hear those USD frontends really make the bike handle well so expect to be lapped at least twice by you considering the races are 6 laps long. You are going to be there right?

[FROSTY]

Well at this stage Ill be running round the track.
There was a little case of fit once -dont check clack clack --OHHH FUCK
my motor is as we say Um FERKED

[curious george]

OK, spill the beans. Who/what fucked up?

[Sparky]

Well at this stage Ill be running round the track.

????WTF?????

[GSVR]

Oh No. So how fecked is it? Must be repairable or are you looking for another motor.

[FROSTY]

To protect the company concerned--I hold them in VERY high regard.
I'd rather not say. They have pulled out all the stops to rectify an easily made error. Service in this particular case is 110% -Sometimes Shit as we say Happens.
They have replaced all the damaged parts and as we speak my bike is running again. BUT --it desperately needs Dyno time to get the jetting sorted
-Its running like a hairy assed dog.
I need to get it to GP motorcycles because I missed my slot at AMPS due to the clack clack issue.

[GSVR]

Cool and it only took 12 mins.

Don't worry about how its running. With that 750 kit fitted the hot cams and the high comp pistons you won't be the lowest HP bike on the track.

[FROSTY]

er um NO --It was getting parts fitted on Monday--dyno tuesday ready for test riding at Pukie thursday- But as they say the best laid plans of mice and men......... BUT ITS FIXED NOW :niceone: :niceone: :niceone:

[FROSTY]

Fanmtastic news ---black ice is on his way to Gp Motorcycles as we speak
carb tuning will be done monday/tuesday wooohoooo

[FROSTY]

well after a mad dash to Tauranga tonight--Never diss the ol FJ1200--theyre like a friggin fokker freindship when ya wind em up.
Anyhoo-Black Ice is back home and -YES she runs
Now all I have to do is get the bodywork on,sort the battery,tune the front end--ohh and find a rider good enough to ride it properly

[SPman]

----ohh and find a rider good enough to ride it properly
Well - that narrows down the field - who are you getting?

[FROSTY]

ahh prolly some old cunt with a zimmer frame--I heard tell he can ride a bike semi fastish

[sAsLEX]

ahh prolly some old cunt with a zimmer frame--I heard tell he can ride a bike semi fastish

thought FF only rode sats now?

[FROSTY]

Well its been a couple of weeks and Ive had a couple of chances to ride the bike.
It seems to be running fine -but running very rich in the midrange.
The handling is a whole different matter -Put simply --it doesn't
But thats ok -time to strip out the front end and see whats in there

[FROSTY]

HOLEY CRAP BATMAN.
It seems the bottom tripple clamp on black ice is the wrong one. The shuddering I was feeling in the front end was the forks shuddering inside the triple clamps.
That and there was grey sludge for fork oil and springs 2 weights too light.
The back shock was set WAAY to low. All In all the bike was -or should have been Unridable
