Thanks. I spent about 20 hours on it this week. We don't have anywhere close that I can "test" it at. Plus the fact it runs on race gas, with a small fuel tank, means just local testing for "gremlins" and that sort of thing.

Ooooo, how do you like the $300 bike lift from Harbor Freight Shithouse? I was debating buying one but wanted to find someone that actually spent their money first.... Granted with the right coupon it's $300ish but I would rather get a "real world" reciew

One of mine tend to drift down, but I put the "bar" in it to hold it at a level. I don't think you can beat the deal, really. I think I paid $249 each for mine.

A couple of 200+ mph shakedown passes in the mile....





Time to get down to business this winter, and prepare to ratchet up the speeds.

That is all oem panels, no spray paint. The motor made 251 STD hp as tuned by Bryan Snyder. We will be looking for some serious mph come spring.

Karl, I think there are a couple things going on. First is that the fuel system needs upgraded. We tried to get by with the stock setup (was fine on the dyno), but the fueling was inconsistent. Gears 1-4 have fairly beastly acceleration (as shown in logs), but 5-6 fueling would often go lean...even with 23's in the cells. (+10% over our dyno map). I nearly had a heart attack after the first run showed 14:1 a/f.

So, now I am going to do the fuel system right (Bosch injectors, big fuel rail, and pump). I noticed that these fuel rails are very restrictive at the "bend". I am also going to improve the logger setup, and I am looking at some things with the ecu, too. I love this bike, and we are going to make it fly....

do you log duty cycle??

when i 1st put Greenie on the dyno, the injectors which were recommended to me for that build went to 90-100% DC to get AF correct.
So i went to Marren and got some of his mod'd Bosches. DC went to mid 70's.

It is VERY weird that yr Dyno tune was so far off at the track.
Do you use a Powercommander or ECU flash?
If you use a PC, i'd say it is fukkered or maybe a bad ground.

I was only logging a/f and rpm. Basic ghetto system with the LM-2 logger. Yeah, it had me banging my head on the wall. Last pass, I rolled 5th gear from low rpm and the a/f was flat at 13:1 (still a bit lean)...but that is with the big numbers in the cells. Seems like if it rowed through the gears, the fuel system couldn't keep up.

I was using the PC-V for fueling. I knew that the fueling would be close to the limit, and I really dodged a bullet there.

with big motors good to log fuel pressure & DC in addition to the normal.

I completely lost a ZX12 motor Top & bottom) by it being too lean, then lost pistons on Greenie on its 1st pass at Loring when the fuel pressure went to zero (fuse)

You did right by shutting it down when you couldn't get AF down to 12.5-12.8, what was yr DC on Brock's dyno?

I didn't get DC, like a dumbass. It was very consistent hp/afr on the dyno...and I kinda just let it slide....even though it was something I had "planned" to look at. I got so caught up in the other details, that I didn't get that information. Honestly, I was a bundle of nerves with it on the dyno...new stroker$$ motor, never ran anything like that before.

I am definitely logging it all next season. Will probably touch base with you on which logging system I am using. I have some DL-32's here, but would like a system with better vendor support.

Bringing this back to the top.

Thanks again for all the info. It's amazing the detail you put into all your work.

Just a quick question on the battery. I know you touched on it a little bit and a few people responded. I'm still a little confused as to if you utilize the factory charging system and that is sufficient or do you have the Li/Po charger and charge the bike in the pits or at home between races?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

It works fine with the factory charging system. On my stock motor bike, the small Speedcell was great. For a daily street bike I would use the 12 cell lithium iron batteries. They have more reserve and cranking power, and only weigh about 2.5 lbs.

On the big stroker motor I actually have two 410 cranking amp Ballistic batteries configured for 24v start. Only one of those batteries gets charged by the factory system, but even 50 starts does not fully deplete the 2nd battery.

Thanks for the reply. Mine is just a track only bike. So I will look into the speedcell. I was just worried I would have to take a generator and buy a special charger to make it work.
