Been watching...seems you were the right person to send it to..He needed someone who knows what their doing with this thing...I do motors as well,and run into the same type of problems you are all the time.Part of the game i guess...anyway nice job!...

I agree with you on your diagnosis..but when the bike was delivered to the guy to fix the trans ,it ran perfect...when it was picked up...the clicking was there...if you brought the bike up to 50 and pulled the clutch in,the noise continued with the motor idleing..no load on the motor....i agree that it should be put together right...but whatever springs were in it were fine to 14k...not saying they're still good...but they were...turbo is a t-61...NOT the one that was in it when it was dyno'd...that one was closer to a 65mm..but the same housing...a hybrid...It's up to him what his budget is...he needs to sell some of his star trek action figures i guess...only kidding...good luck.

haven't been watching for a while..but carpenter springs work fine..never had any problems over 35lbs of boost on any of my Busas...the bird was fine to 30 lbs with the springs that were in there over 13500 rpm...the clicking brent was refering to was not a berring noise..it would only do it when the bike was moving..in any gear and sounded like it was coming from the output shaft area...would not do it on the stand, only when there was some kind of load on it.....why cant the rod be re-sized in stead of replaced?...done it before with many rods.....and to all that say you can't make big power with carbs....just because you cant make it work doesn't mean it can't be done...that bike made 460whp @28lbs many time without breaking a sweat..with A/F ratios a fi bike would dream about...and going up a few jet sizes and 35lbs it's an animal...it was built by a friend of Dennis(motorhead)...he has been building carb'd turbo bikes since the mid 80s. I pulled one of vellocitys baddest busa turbo drag bikes from a 50mph roll like he shut it off....with antiquated technology...ten years ago evryone said you couldn't make a blow through carb boosted drag car work...woops...they were wrong too...

This was my bike before Brent bought it from me. It went many times over 200 mph and many miles under heavy boost....most likely detonation happened when the fuel pump lost voltage for a second or 2 due to loose wireing...it is carbed not FI.

I know since the site change I have not really been on much, just so crazy with things around the house and all. Thanks for the tip ...E-bay...cbr1100 parts...lots of fairing stuff and cheap

sounds like bad plug or coil wire..when damp it arcs to ground causing missfire...when rpms are up ign. creates enough voltage to flow through..at lower rpm jumps to the closest point...worth a look

Here's a 450 hp @27 lbs custom m/c express intercooled and carbed XX...will make over 500 at the tire at bigger boost levels,but why?...Carillo rods,Je pistons,cams,valve springs,1/2 inch head studs,back cut trans,lock up clutch, 61mm shoot out turbo etc,etc. not cheap,but repeatable hp and smoother than any busa i've ridden...and hidden pretty well.
