This is especially for all you racers and trackaddicts as well as shops out there:
I am curious as to what the pro's and con's are to a SuperSport Engine Build? I am mainly talking in terms of reliability, HP gains, mapping, frquency of refreshes, cost of repair, cost in general, etc, etc. Just throw out what the Pro's and Con's are.
I am looking at buying a bike that has a supersport build by Markbilt, but would like to know if itd be worth it. I will be racing as well as attending many trackdays. My main concern is if it will be able to go a full race season + trackdays without a refresh. Here is what is in the build im looking at:
(per the guy im commincating w/ about his bike):
This was a super sport build which is typically the following.
Remove cylinder head
Measure squish (piston to head clearance)
Clean combustion chamber
Disassemble cylinder head
Inspect/prep valves
Inspect valve seats
Check valve spring pressures
Set cam journal clearance
Machine gasket surface
Clean/prep piston crowns and cylinder deck surface
Reassemble head and install
Slot cam sprockets or install cam adaptors
Check and adjust valve clearances to spec
Degree cams to spec
Install racing spark plugs
Any and all advice welcome. If im being an idiot considering a bike like this for trackdays AND racing on a budget PLEASE tell me. haha :cheers
It just seemed like a pretty good deal( '06GSXR w/ alot of goodies and a ss motor for under $5k)
