I'm not sure what you know about flat slide carbs, but jetting for sea level, 90 degrees and rainy, doesn't do any good for 2600 feet, 70 degrees and sunny.

That sounds vaguely familiar... I think I've heard it said somewhere before.

I don't know about your 100 HP theory -- fuel + air + 11.3:1 compression leaves you with the same HP no matter what's doing the fueling. The big benefit to the flat-slides will be literally instanteous throttle responsiveness (most riders are so used to CV carbs [or slower injection systems] that they don't recognize the difference -- until they ride something that is that instant-on/instant-off with flat-slides).

Nice find

PS - Time to guy one of the Gunson exhaust gas analyzers to be able to rejet it on the fly.

I'm really not thinking this project will be a light / traffic kinda deal.

Can't avoid them forever, if you're riding you're stopping.

[arsenic]

not on the track your not

[scottynoface]

So this is a track bike you're making? Interesting.

[arsenic]

yes CP, you said that exact same same thing to me, it's just very well said I think you said 27,000 feet

I have one

I don't know about your 100 HP theory

actually Yoshimura made a 100 HP Katana 600 in the late 80's early 90's before the GSXR 600 appeared. I have the CycleWorld article, I believe I gave it to you as well. I'm copying everything they did pretty much. Except the stage 3 port and polish. I haven't done any porting or polishing (except porting the OEM 750 header) so we'll have to see.

I dont waaaaaaaaaanaaaaaaaaaa stop.

[Robgsxf750]

Nice. Can't wait to see the finished product!

[DOCTORNITRO]

Giggity!

Arsenic...I don't know what to say...when I didn't think your project couldn't get any better you surprise me.

[arsenic]

I call it the dream project, I kinda mean that. There never will be a Katana like this, there never has. If there is anything to make it better I will. I'd use a GSXR USD front end, but I've done a million thing with Tmod's help to the conventional Katana front end. So the GSXR USD forks will be on the next project, the super kat.

So you mean once it's together, you're gonna look at it and decide to put the GSXR front end on there?

[arsenic]

not exactly dude, the dream has a 600 engine. The super kat will have a turbo charged Hayabusa engine. It's gone be a whole new world of things that have never been done before.

[The CyberPoet]

the goal is rally 2010, it'll be a push, but I think it can happen.

I'll be ready to test-pilot it by the 2010 rally

lol sounds like a good plan...... it will be a killer bike thats for sher.... and funny cause people are gonna say its just a kat...... and then you go by and watfch the funny faces they make lol....... what a kat cant be that fast lol :P

[arsenic]

ok, I replaced all the float bowl screws wit stainless steel socket cap (allen) screws. Let me just rant for a minute. The OEM screws are JIS, they look like phillips heads, but they aren't. Well, I HAVE a JIS screw driver and 3 of those float bowl screws still stripped. I have 0 clue why those screws aren't allens to begin with. Especially those, you have the float bowls off a lot more then with CV carbs.
