Hi - joined the forum to find some good info on a conversion that a mate of mine did a few years ago.
Its a Bandit 1200 slotted into a Gixxer 750 L rolling chassis. Pic below
Its a great bike, just built for trackdays. Needs a better exhaust with more clearance and some new rearsets - but it goes pretty well all things considered......
A friend donated some 1989 Gixxer 750 cams to the project the other day, so these will be fitted up soon. From what I have read, it looks like I can just use the OEM cam sprockets from the B12 motor and bolt the 750 cams to these ?
I also have some 41 mm Keihin flatties to bolt up to this motor, that should help it breathe a bit better
these carbs have already been jetted up for a 1200 motor, so should work pretty well. The dodgy old 4-1 is also getting the flick in favour of a decent Yoshi full system. Hoping for about 130-odd hp at the wheel - is this a realistic figure ?
I was hoping to get a couple of tips from the experts here about this motor.
1 - Is it worth using a 3deg ignition advancer ?
2 - Given the lighter frame and running gear - what would be the recommended dial-in for the cams ? I have seen a few different opinions about this, the OEM B12 cam sprockets will be slotted to allow some variation in the cam timing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
