god what u got planned now ................. obviously stickin a diff engine ina 400 frame mr money bags

 

[rene]

got one or two ideas in the pipe line been thinking about doing them for years now!

what i really want is a zxr400 rolling chasie but want to get some mesurements before i buy

 

[doodlebug]

havent the foggiest, but I dont think youll have to much trouble getting somthing to fit! Alternatively, ask whoeer you want this rolling chassis off to measure it for you?

 

[rene]

im still looking for a rolling chassis seem bloody hard to come by!

Tried local breakers? Ebay? Local bike shops?

 

[rene]

i'll be going to some 400 race meets should see a few going though there, i've got a tight budget as well lol about 600 for the bike then ?400 for the engine. But im sure ill be going well over 3k once i get into it

 

[Danielz123]

I can tell you the inside frame is roughly 35cm at the widest point, but I had the airbox still in place and used a tape measure so not sure how much use that figure is to you. Gives you an idea anyways.

 

[rene]

bloody hell thats alot tighter than i rember might have to grind some of the frame away to fit a 900 in there

 

[Danielz123]

loooooooooooooooooooooool a 900 in a 400 frame that`ll be mental

will hold the power wont it the frame???

 

[rene]

well it wouldent stay a 900, id look at bigboring it up to 1010, can get them up to about 170 BHP i think, the frame would get killed so id have to brace it, and replace the swing arm, its still in the floating in my head stage at the mo but i loved my old zxr so much haveing that sort of power you'd have an awsome power ranger killing tool

 

[Danielz123]

loooooooooooool an what u class a power ranger

 

[tommyb]

Personally, i reckon you should wack a 600 engine in it, and tune that up, you have useable power then and not some ropey old cack engine.....my opinion of course.

 

[doodlebug]

Go for a v2 rene, thatll fit alot easier than an IL4 obviously, plus itll just be completely crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrazy! Btw if It works ill buy ya blueprints... lol

 

[rs--rich--125]

Pretty sure I read about someone doing it with a 600cc, can't remember where though.

 

[rene]

someone did a blade engine, its on zxrworld, so thats already been done! prob with a twin is the shakes prob rattle its self to bits! also there alot longer! still a RSV engine dos sound tempting

deepends on how much they cost second hand

rene bud what is it about the 400's u like? my 600 is better handling in everyway, it lighter, more flickable, but also more stable. and tahts with a cack suspension set up...

I prefer my old 400 aswell....

 

[rene]

the 400 had so much personality, low seat hight ect

criag has spent masive amounts on his vfr400 after owning a blade. For some reason i just enjoy then every time i see one i fall in love again!

i could also ride her a hell of alot faster than i can the 750, so upgrade the power abit and you've got a brilliant tool!
