God, I love my job!

[White trash]

I get to sit in the showroom and listen to the absolutely *glorious* music of a GSX-R600K4 with race "bits" and pipe being given the mesage on our dyno all day.

Heaven I tell ya, heaven! :bleh:

[k14]

Got a digicam to throw up a few pics??

Whats it making?? 105hp or so?

Coming right up, my friend!

Can't say, mate. I don't want any pedantic pricks flaming me about "using the site as an advertising medium!" I'm just here for the company and to learn and offer what advice I can. Same as you.

I have figured it out anyway, got a big Brain ya see :bleh:

[White trash]

It doesn't matter how much power it makes, it's how it makes it and what gains you get through tuning that's important. All Dynamometers read differently. Ours has the advantage of being direct drive from the bike therefore eliminating slippage. It also simulates road conditions by changing the load on the bike. For example, we can have a Gixxer thou, wailing in fourth gear and load the Dyno right up and stall the bike! It's an impressive tuning tool and to my knowledge, the only one in NZ although they're designed and built in Petone. They all get exported to Nascar in the states and Touring car teams around the world.

To date the machine owes us well in excess of 150 grand.

Damn, that looks pretty impressive.

So can you say how much over stock hp it has gained? What mods is he doing to it? You can't do that many for the 600's in the NZ series aye? Just pipe, remapping and a few others?

[FzerozeroT]

must take a while to get her onto the machine though. But no slippage is good - I think thats what caused my 28hp at the rear wheel, that KRR power spinning it up in 3rd :D

It's fitted with a 2 bros pipe today but the Yoshi full system will be here any day. You can raise the compression through the head gasket, change the cam timing and update the injection. We use the Teka tuner as it's the best for Suzukis and remaps the original controller. TRE and air filter go without saying. You'd normally expect 15hp over stock.

I think I know the crowd who makes them.

I have had to deal with the 'odd' noise complaint about them (good bunch of guys actually). I have also had a noise complaint about a motorcycle shop in the Hutt (another good bunch).

[White trash]

K&N, and home made. Worked real well on the old bike, shouldn't be too different here. :ar15:

[Cajun]

yeah i gonna do home jobby of my tre as well, i notice it does not pull as hard when you go from 5th to 6th damn suzuki.

let me know if you here of any good simple ways of getting more power out of it, would love to know.

that's got nothing to do with the timing, that's all gearing baby.

Go 1 tooth smaller on the front sprocket and hang on! They over gear them to get through emission testing.

If you go for a filter and pipe, you'll need to get it retuned. Either power Commander or Teka. PC is a bit expensive if you ask me.

you work for wgtn Council then??

[jrandom]

They over gear them to get through emission testing.

How does that work then? Does the engine burn differently when the load is changed but the fuel and air input are the same?

I suppose I just answered my own question.

Be nice if you could elucidate on the specifics though :not:

Nah. It as to pass a ride by test. higher gearing means less revs at ride by speed. Simple.

Yeah i am gonna do a pipe, gonna get one made up with stock exhust i can't afford to get a another one at moment, filter i wanna do,

how much do the power commander or teka cost??
I guess i might have to ride it down to you to tune it correctly?

[Deano]

you work for wgtn Council then??

Hutt City (Lower Hutt)

I would rather work with motorbikes all day though.

[White trash]

We can only tune the TEKA properly. We can do the PC but the gains aren't as good. PM Jimbo750 and ask how his Teka tune went for a perfectly un biased view on the whole thing.

The beauty of this way of tuning, is you don't have the outlay for the tuner, it re-maps your existing bits. We normally need the bike for a full day of tuning.

Johanns new bike has already gained 6hp just with the tune, not including the other bits. Stay tuned and I'll let you know the final amount. :banana:

[jrandom]

Oh. Right. Duh. :eyepoke:

[Cajun]

sweet, i don't mine coming down for a whole day so it can be done correctly, take me a little while to get all the bits together tho, wanna get a rear hugger and a double bubble screen first tho i decided

[Ghost Lemur]

sweet, i don't mine coming down for a whole day so it can be done correctly, take me a little while to get all the bits together tho, wanna get a rear hugger and a double bubble screen first tho i decided

You should time it with a Manfield Day, that way you could play afterwards.

[Cajun]

nah mainfield will have to wait a for many next time, can't do it this time got other things to do

[matthewt]

I have had to deal with the 'odd' noise complaint about them (good bunch of guys actually). I have also had a noise complaint about a motorcycle shop in the Hutt (another good bunch).

Yer the Hutt place has a "rolling road" dyno. Either way a bike at full noise is VERY LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[matthewt]

Nah. It as to pass a ride by test. higher gearing means less revs at ride by speed. Simple.

Most common mod on the Ducati and MV sports bikes is 2 extra teeth on the rear sprocket because they got geared down for that test.

[vifferman]

Up, Matthew, up!

Good dog.

Same for most bikes, so they can pass emissions tests, and be more economical, and stuff like that there.
The FahrtSturm is also overgeared, so the common mods are down one tooth on the front, or up 2 on the back, or both.

[Cajun]

hmmm the misses should down gear her vtr1000f then, not like she needs top end any way.

she as only touched the red line once in the 18 months she has used, what she doesn't know is the amount of times i hit that line when i ride it, it needs a good cob web blow out every once and a while

[toads]

I think we'd all like your job somehow,

[White trash]

11hp extra through TEKA and timing adjustment.

Think we're doing some R1 hunting this season :2guns:

Incidently, it now makes 12hp more than the old bike with the exhaust still to come. Weighs 2kg less and has more over rev available. It also brakes and turns quicker.

Watch the lap records tumble this season folks! :gob:

[Marknz]

What air filter is it gonna use? and what tre, home made jobby or real one?

'scuse my ignorance, but what is TRE?

[riffer]

'scuse my ignorance, but what is TRE? Timing Retardation Eliminator. These bikes have their timing retarded in the first couple of gears to avoid you accellerating too fast.

For obvious reasons...:whistle:

Thanks CN6. I guess I'll wait till I'm really used to the thou before I look at anything like this. Can still beat Jimbo750 from the lights anyway :sly:

[k14]

Woah, that is awesome. Will the other suzuki guy's(Craig Shirrifs etc) also have K4 GSXR's?? Might be better for Johann (sp??) but won't be for spectators. It will just be the K4 GSXR's up the front and the older GSXR's etc back a bit. Or will the others improve aswell?

[Cajun]

sounds like fun white trash, means i should be able to get at least some of that out of my girl over time,

[Drunken Monkey]

... is you don't have the outlay for the tuner...

The trashman don't have to outlay for the tuner as he's probably nicked the one off my bike!

(Oh how easy it is to quote someone out of context!)

muhahaha

:P

I want the job the guy at Ferrari has. His role is to test the Ferraris until they blow up......now THAT is a job

Ditto. Except he drives an Alfa. With the number of years he's been diligently working there you think they would have just given him one by now don't you.

btw His lap times on Ferrari's home track are only like .3sec off of Shummie's.

You are the toughest talkin Mofo I have ever heard. When you gonna put your money where your mouth is and join us on a track, gay boy?

i've been looking at a new gs1200ss.
i know it's an ugly retro fat piece of shit...

anyone seen one on the dyno and what kinda results?
was thinking about a yoshi system and maybe flatslides later on.
any comments?

Haven't had one yet but with some cams, carbs and tuning you should be able to get a real 130hp, similar to a Bandit12 we did a few years back.

There's a secondhand red/black one for sale in Wgtn Motorcycles - White Trash could give you the info on it.

Merv: Shall I postpone our lunch for a couple of weeks while you're in Bali? Will you post some photos on KB while you're over there for us to see how you're getting on? When you get back I'll give you the rundown on what happens between Jimbo and WT (sans gloves) at Manfeild on the 30th.
