Not quite a DD bike but Dallas had his ZX10R in primer at various race venues this year, I think it may have been in it at Castle Combe if not it certainly was by the time he rebuilt it following his off at Quarry

I don't know yet :D

so did AK


620 engine from breaker + loom off something else (750ss) airbox from something else + powercommander he had on the shelf that was going onto the tri-colour 900.
Was a nightmare getting it all mapped out for the bike, on the dyno, to check it was all 'talking' to each other component


same here - labour was the most 'extensive' for AK


mmm - should have looked at one part;)

its certainly the easiest way...

but transplants can be done, and now AK knows what does/doesnt work, it wont take so long on the next one..... ;)

edited to add: also tank, with pump came from the same breaker that Louigi got his 620 from - they came from the same broken bike as his!
Luckily Andy J repaired the tank, so it was re-usable again : cost £cheap all inc postage:smug:

OK OK OK!!!!!

So AK and Louigi did it the same way, blimey woman, I don't know EVERYTHING do I - at least I said he got it working.

:P

Now, what you doing on the computer? All the washing done is it?

:lol:

roast dinner cooked: check (CK)
dinner eaten: check (both)
bottle of wine consumed: check (both)
washing up done: check (AK)
top gear watched: check (both)
clothes all washed :check


reading about 'bananas' on the DSC site: still in progress:P

Mmmm - we wondered about that...... :devil:

Dom, why not run a 583 with a big bore kit in the 620 class ? Surely that would keep everyone happy ?

On a personal level I wasn't allowed in the 583 class and I have raced less than you and don't hold a National Licence. Had I have been allowed to race a 583 I could have saved myself over £3k in bike costs.

Of course you're welcome to race with us mate. Personally I do it for real fun, so I won't get pi$$ed or anything if you do well :lol:

I want to be competitive, and to be competitive in 620, you need a 620 - no question.

It was also proven this year, that fitting a big bore kit is a complete waste of money.

A 583 with a bore kit still only makes 51 to 52 bhp not exactly competitive with a 620i, then there is the better throttle response from the injected bikes plus a fair bit higher rev range and on top of that some 620s have 6 gears.
I always though a good option for 2006 would to allow class A bikes with a 583 based engine taken out to 675 and allow some head and cam work but possibly still running on standard CV carbs be allowed to run against the 620s.
I 'm buying Glyns 675 kit off him for my old engine and if I have the time and spare cash I will probably have a look at doing something with the heads to see what a bit of porting and flowing does for them.
