Got a pc3 serial for sale ,fits all GSX 1400 . Complete with all cabels and cd. Was working perfect when i took it of 4 mounth ago. give me an offer, can send it outside of Sweden ofquose Cheers Maveric

Ok home now after a nice bimble 160miles done today . And maybe a underwear wash too . was logging the bike on the road and on a fulltrottle run in forth gear it started to wheelie when i hit 8000 rpm doing something around 130 miles/h . Was almost 30cm up when i had to ease of, holy sh*t what a difference from last year . Cheers Maveric

Only 100 miles so far . Some a**h*le put a lot of snow here and it's (thank god) starting to melt now . Just keeping my fingers crossed that the weather is fine tomorrow so i can put some more miles to the speedometer. Hopefully arond 6 deg hot then . Cheers Maveric

Yes fr499y it's the Icehotel up north Sweden . Was there this weekend for a wisit not checking in (to cold for me to sleep there ). Was there saturday and on monday i did my first bimble this year at home ofqouse . Talk about a big diference in the same country . Cheers Maveric

Another one of a snowmobile on the Kalix river (1m of ice on the river + snow ). Yes Dave cool is the right word . Cheers maveric

Winter as it was where i visited this weekend [img] Been really high up north above the artic cirkle and visit the icehotel in Jukkasjärvi . Now back in south Sweden and done a really great bimble today , cold but no snow at the roads here so it starts to be time to ride more often again . Cheers Maveric

Yes congrats dave . think i need to hurry up then if i going to cach up . Cheers Maveric

Have heard of wheelbarrow look on bikes now i know what it is LOL . Cheers Maveric

Found a link what we can do when we are to old for having fun on 2wheels . I will def. vant one Cheers Maveric

Ok final pic's then . Completly asembled now running sweet . But before any testride i had to change the clutch springs due to the raised torque. Anyone spot the difference betveen a stock one and a heavy duty one . One good thing with liftingtables is when you want to remove the clutch cover without spillin any oil on the floor you do like this . Just not to high then you are in serious truble . Close now only the sidecover to mount and the wideband lambda. As the acra system dont have any boss for a lambda i needed to weld one in. Now when it was complete i take it for a short spinn, taking care due to all the gravel on the tarmac. So i put it in 4th gear slowed down to about 1300rpm and hit it ,but when the rpm reach 2300 the back wheel started to lose grip . Ok the road was wet but anyway a huge increase in grunt forsure ., and the sound mmmmmmmm . And the wait for summer started very rappidly to feel long long away from now Cheers Maveric

Beast is alive again and i really mean it's a beast compared with before . next dyno is going to be very intressed coz last dyno with the parts on my other bike it hit 154hp on the rear wheel compared with 106 engine hp in stock . Will put up the last pic's here tomorrow night ,i need to get in bed now coz im going up really early tomorrow (4.30am)for a 190km drive company related.

as promised now we got to do the other bike . And it looks like this when i started. (the one to the right ). Same way like last time, of with all the standard parts (injektor housing, head, cyl. row and pistons. looking like this. Then mount the oversize pistons. After that we went for the cyl. row. Here you see the difference in size betveen 1400 and 1550. (stock piston in 1550 cyl. row. bellow Quite a fiddling job to get the pistons in . . But ended up like this . With the head i needed to change the valve steam sealings but i dont got a tool to compress the valve springs with. Then i recall that i had a tool i have used when i repared old english fords (a old passion i had before ). So i simply modified that to suit my bike with some help of a lathe and migwelder. At the same time when i had the valves out i cleaned up the intake and exhaust ports in the head , they where already ported so just a cleaning job was needed. Exhaust Intake Then i put the head together and mounted it with no probs. Next step was to mount the injector housing and there is a difference from the stock one can you see the difference? The bottom one is oversized from 34mm to 37mm . And here are where i am at the moment, due to using high lifting webcams i needed to dail in the cams so they open and closes in the rigth spot. 104.5 deg/106.5 deg. the previus owner had modified the cam sprockets to be adjustable so i borrowed a indicatorwatch and got along with it (first time i done that ). But turned out well they where spot on. So now i only need to mount the rocker cover , exhaust som bits and pieces. Then it's time to realease the beast, see what happend tomorrow. Cheers Maveric

Thanks Dave . Just one bike more to fiddle with now ,almost the same jobb to do again . Infact i'm almost finished with that one too, pic's will follow soon. Cheers Maveric

Thanks mate and i totaly agrie on the silencer mate you can scare kids with that hidious thing they call a silencer ,but it's up to next owner how they want it. one note all the painted B&W things have only done one summer before he bougth spare panels and painted them red, so now i got a complete set to paint what ever i want to my bike . Cheers Maveric

Hi all! As some of you now i bought a second GSX1400 last fall, quite tuned 154 rear wheel hp . But i decided just before xmas to sell it next spring. But before i do just that im going to restore it to 95% standard and put the goddies on my bike . so this is how it looked before i started (the red one) First i changed the color back to standard. Then i stripped the injection housing, cyl. head, cylinder row, pistongs and exhaust system. And mounted the stock pistongs. then the cylinder row. And finaly the head. Motor almost done . Exhaust monted. And finaly put together running sweet but slow . Remember how it looked before ? Will continue at the other GSX shortly. Cheers Maveric

Riding is probably the last thing i can do here . Snow ,ice and windy outside together with that the engine is in pieces due to a big upgrade . So you that can enjoy a ride . Instead i'm going to stay in the mancave just me and a copple of beers, tinkering with me bike . Cheers Maveric

In Sweden we had a tax sticker instead on the numberplate, untill 2011 when they scrap't the sticker system. After that we dont have any thing to show if we have paid the tax . Think they just have to do a search on their computer instead. Ending up with a mutch cleaner plate now . Cheers Maveric

Note to myself, never ever eat snow again . Cheers Maveric
