Re: Need help with my track bike
Oof, there's some nice little chips of piston there round the valve edges and seats
How come the valves dropped? Springs broken? |

Re: Need help with my track bike
Ouch.
Don't remember everything. But I thought you bought the bike from a mate who said it was running ? All you needed was a starter motor??? Time to fit a zx6 engine perhaps (They will fit )

We are going for a complete engine rebuild due to the amount of work.and extras this bike has had. My mechanic says it has all the right bits to easily be a front runner in respective championship so we are going for a restoration as it will cost the same as a used engine that we know nothing about. This bike was a race bike. But has been used as a rusty banger track bike for a while.. And probably missed services and the upkeep it needed. We are going to upgrade the brakes to GSXR600 calipers. Re dyno the engine once repaired. Exciting stuff

Re: Need help with my track bike
They are the standard forks but with Matris fork cartridge internals. Currently bidding on Zx6r complete front end though fingers crossed
