Chris, were you using an impact driver or just a regular hand held? I'm guessing hand held. I always use an impact driver for this reason & then go to allens. When you said this will be a track bike did you mean road race or drag? Also, you will find it DIFFICULT, to say the least, to get 100 at the back wheel on a 600. Or did you mean crank? Or are you making it bigger than a 600? You got a GREAT amount of spares & extras with the 36s! That's cool! Ray.

I pretty much know a 600 tuna will not do 100 HP at the wheel, if I can get like 90 at the wheel I'll be happy. The crank I'm pretty sure will exceed 100. I used a hand held, cause I didn't want to hit those things with an impact. I've broken a CV carb doing that before, ok it was the diaphragm cover on a 88-89 600 carb, but still. I didn't want to take a chance. Road race, I find going fast in a straight line on a bike pointless. They are meant to be fast around turns. No, I'm using the OEM pistons and I simply honed the cylinders. I removed 0 material. It's still 599 cm3.

Chris, you know the next step is magnesium wheels, right? Best handling upgrade you can probably by for a Kat after good tires and good suspension... Maybe even more valuable than good suspension...

I know that, but I've done a million things to the OEM 98+ wheels and I can't even find a mag wheel is 4.5". So that will have to be for another project.

where are the cams to go with those flat slides ?

[Robgsxf750]

I think he's got gsxr cams already.

[arsenic]

in the cylinder head You think I didn't already have those? Yeah they are 88 GSXR 750 cams degreed to 104 lobe centers. Oh, I should probably mention the EX cam is brand new.

Very nice Chris- can you e-mail me a copy of that Yosh build up as well? I always love those kind of articles! I am saving my money for HP for my 1127 though, 600 gets a couple things.

You pay alot for those carbs?

I am wondering if EFI is not more cost effective for HP and tune-ability than the flat siders?

[arsenic]

I got those carbs and all those jets for less then $565 shipped to my door.

I go to the impact second-to-last . First I go for the needlenose vicgrips . It's RARE when I can't get a float bowl screw with those+screwdriver . I've actually had the carb body threads get a little nackered from the impact , so I hesitate to grab it as fast as I USED to . And I usually just toss another phillips in there . Once I get it initially broken free , I've found as long as you don't torque them to 90ft/lbs , they come off fairly easy , and still don't leak .
Carry on ....

[arsenic]

one of those stripped screws, I actually drilled the head off. Once I drilled the head off, took the float bowls off, I took the threaded part out with my hand. The head was torqued on super tight. There was 0 rust or anything holding the screw in.
here's Yoshimura's dyno results for there "power 600" if I can match and/or exceed that, I'll be happy.
