Wanted ZZR1100 engine

As above!

Let me know what youv got, third gear is gone on mine!

Although it's just gone in, can't stand not having third already.

Rather drop a decent engine and box in and the repair the box I've got later.

Must be decent price!

What gaskets do you need when you split the engine and box?

I've got a spare box sitting. After doing a full engine change, rewire among other things over the winter just want to drive the thing!

sump ,clutch and rotor cover cases use sealant use a good quality one if you have a spare clutch you can leave the old one conected but if you need to use the old one remove the face plate but leave the plates in and use an air gun to remove the nut push lightly on the clutch plates as you undo the nut its makes it realy easy no need for a clutch holderi have a manuall i can copy some pages if it helps

I'm missing a "air vacuum accelerator pump" it takes air pressure from the top of the engine and balances it with feed from the air box to pressurise the float bowls pushing up petrol into the carbs.

so its on order and we should be revving!

if I've got no joy with this, its off to day tuner for a full set up.

i give up doing stuff by ear, sound and smell! i need a dyno to tell me what the engine is doing

have you made sure the diaphragms are all working ok it dosent take much to mess them up stick your finger in at the bottom they should move up easy with almost no resistance and return with a slight damping also make sure the ballance vents are sealed and the jet needle in the slide is retained ok i have seen them with the nylon washers on the wrong side so they can go uo in the retainer clip
its a real shame your a bit to far away as im sure it wouldnt take much to get it right

it sure does! I'm my case anyways, all are different!

didn't rev above 6k rpm as standard.. plugged..... believe it or not, a garden funnel into where the ram air normally goes and hay - presto 8 1/2 k rpm..... very strange.

gotta get this gear linkage sorted for fast lane, total pisser that it broke tonight.

I'm much better now, had a hectic few years, working on temporary contracts, so no time / money to spend on the car.

I've now got a permanent job within a mile of the house, so don't even have a tin top at the moment.

Got to fix the 106 first, then get the 7 back on the road.
