And it's a twin too think thats covered all it's good qualities though

This is true, I'm just getting the angle grinder out and cutting my crank in half.

Want to big bang the ZZR400 if I get a 600 motor in it?

if the couriers ETA is acurate i should be picking up my fairings today!

Pictures when it happens bro!

Finally have time for a ride have been writing a lab report since monday morning

+1 to the pictures

yeh big bang (or something asymmetric anyway) shouldn't be too hard, single plane crank with a firing order 1-3-2-4 or something like that at the moment? Ignition be easy, carb wouldn't need changing. Cams need a bit of work, may be possible to split the cams in half and rejoin them as the sprocket is in the middle right? could get it firing at 0, two cylinders at 180, the last at 360, then 360 of nothing! Would need crank angle and firing order to confirm that. It'd be pretty epic to do

just mirrors and she will be rideable.

parts pending:

paint fuel tank
new levers
engine casing
exhaust (dont really need this, but in reality i NEED this )

of course your bike wont go without mirrors.........................

It's 1-3-4-2 at the moment, so if 1/4 then 3/2 fire that could be fun It's just your normal plane I imagine... It's waste spark, so that won't need to be changed at all, why the 360 of nothing? Or is my brain not working?

Nearly got all of my Farkles for the V-Strom. Just waiting on one item (a very common item one fits for winter riding) - from a NZ distributor. They've had my order (and payment) since Sunday before last and still no delivery - you get better service from over seas...

Looking forward to a day in the shed, Easter would be perfect...

Hmmmm, looking on bikebandit it appears the 600 crank has the timing chain between 3 and 4, and mid pins down while end ones are up rather than 1up1down1up1down like I guessed. Possibly could still split them between 2 and 3. With the firing order you listed I think you would get twin firing at 0 and 180, then 540 of nothing!

Yeah, something needs to be done about that tank!

im thinking over atm white or black?

[banditrider]

Probably white I reckon. The frame's already black so should help break up all the white. A clever painter may be able to suggest some black touches to run with the rest of the theme. Maybe a Suzuki sticker with a black outline but white fill?
