First drive with a ZX12r
First drive tonight in the Indy fitted with the ZX12r engine.. Wow it does pull a LOT more from lower down than the old fazer engine..and just keeps
pulling and pulling!
The paddle shift seems to work fine .. just takes a bit of getting used to!
Just want to pass my thanks to Malc of Yorkshire engines a very helpful man and the guys at MK - all top blokes.
Was it worth it? Not sure yet I thought this would be a nice little winter project and this is June!
Still plenty of time for some sprints, Hillclimbs and track days yet

i was just wondering do you find that the extra power is worth the extra price of the zx12r (over an r1), concidering the need for a dry sump etc
which would escalate the costs?

I'm interested in all this dry sump business...
I've been told that a well designed wet sump will suit most applications of these motors. (ZX12R, Busa... etc. Blackbird not included...)
Have you given your wet sump system a proper thrashing around a track yet Hellfire? Any oil surge problems?
Just curious...
Chris.

I am sure you can get a wet sump to work, but a dry sump is worth 15 odd bhp according to some of the sidecar guys I have spoken to..
Opinions are like backsides..
Everyone has one, nobody wants to hear it and only other peoples stink!
