FOR SALE - Drew and Alan's sidecar build

[Drew]

You're trying to tell a Mair not to thrash the shit out of it ? Bwahahahaha

He told me the optimum method of upshifting on the SV was to preload the gear lever and wait for the rev limiter.........

No I didn't, the SV stops making power before the limiter. On a supersport or superbike though, it's legal quickshifting. Or at least, it was before they made proper quick shifters legal.

The thing which made the earlier ZZR a hand grenade was mainly the separate bearing block for the main alongside the primary...which also fed two big ends....and was fed itself by a twisted piece of small diameter tube.
The Mr Turbo mod made the cranks last but oil surge from bad sumps then killed a few...

Yours looks from the pics to have a common rail type oil feed and no separate bearing block which should be better.
I note that overfilling may not be an option as the early 1200's were sensitive to oil level - too much and they wouldn't rev
Shouldn't worry a novice though...ride it on the torque curve.

If I had the motor I'd be checking clearances - aim for 1.6 thou mains and 1.8 thou big ends - and check the relief valve lift pressure.

All good info, cheers.

I'm giving some though currently, to running a remote sump as well to increase volume. Essentially that's the advantage to dry sumps anyway isn't it? Reliability of always having oil at the pickup.

My old '88 ZX10 in my old sidecar (now Gordies engine) had about a half a sump tank welded onto the left side of the main cut down sump to allow for more oil. Worked really well, and took about another litre of oil.

Figured I wasn't being original in coming up with the extra tank idea. Just don't have space to have it welded straight to the side.

I had a slack day today. Alan started the glass on the seat though, so not all is lost.

I know what you said !

[Drew]

I know what you said !

I might have suggested you try it. But when I know it works, is on litre bikes.

I'll give it a hoon on teh chair too.

I'm keen as a for a go at swinging too Mista. But if you deliberately chuck me off there'll be trouble !

Run up the hillclimb in March?

2015?.....

I think I'd prefer a smooth track but yeah, sounds like a plan.

[Drew]

2015?.....

We've been working on the outfit you cock knocker. There are things that need to be taken into account though, that clearly weren't last time it got put on the track.

What?? Tyre pressures, change lube, check brake pads? Fuel it up? Get powerades? Sunscreen???

[scrivy]

Anyway, it's the end of the world in 3.5 hours - so looks like I was right - you're not gunna have ya rig on the track before I'm dead....

[Kickaha]

What year was that?

Whatever year Spike won it on the LCR, most likely around 03-05 ish, it was on the first ART long bike copy Phil built

What if we brought a $150,000 short bike - would they beat us then?

Possibly not although but I dont think any short bike built ever cost that much and you've been beaten by Adam who didn't need to spend anywhere near that and is riding a bike built in 1989

I think it's a pity World Champ and British F1 dont allow short bikes, I reckon it'd make it much more interesting

[Fast Eddie]

We've already looked at those. Did you notice the fuckin price? That's over half what the outfit cost.

I'll see what Kai says about selling what he's got, with a look to adapt it to the kwaka.

chur ill never use it bro, agip motor seems to oil itself well. however the setup is basically an oil tank and some oil lines and a modified sump and sidecover (i think) but its all for an fzr/yzf motor.. could you even use it? its homebuilt.. uv seen agip bike.. that sorta build finish and workmansh haha na some of the welds are nice.

... its how i do it and works.. ill put up pics when the gearbox and motor is in bits..

Run up the hillclimb in March?

yes please!
