hey up you lot, thought I would join this forum as there is "some good stuff" on here. It seems you know your shit and got kicked off other sites as a penalty for the privalige haha.
Anyway was assisting Jubby with his R1 cams installation project (marathon) and via conversation realised that brotherhood is alive and kicking. There are heaps of stories around this project still I revealed despite his informative thread and over the next few weeks I will attempt to log them on here. The funnies, the frustrating, the stupid and the marathon workshop sessions - stay tuned.

Hi mate, thanks for the welcome, I bought in new 5 years ago, silver was an option but it was an ex demo bike with approx 1000 kms on the clock. Probably wouldn't have chosen silver but I negotiated a ful $4k off asking price so silver it was!!!!!!

Hey fellas, thanks for all the welcomes. Instalment 1 of cam modification.
So Jubby has a sister that bought an FZ8 brand new in 2013 and managed to put approx 3000 kms on the thing in in about 18 months before She sold it to Jubby who it is worth mentioning that all other previous motorcycling has been tuned to the limit 2 strokes other than his last bike which was a Suzuki GSXR 600 purchased brand new during our time in New Zealand. The Gixer was sold to one of his mates prior to us leaving for Australia and Jubby engaged in the challenge of drinking the proceeds as fast as he could on our arrival here. Yes he drank a Gixer in about 4 weeks.
So with the previous history of tuning Jubby decides the Eight is game for and will receive some engine work but at this point he doesn't know what. Then came the phone call, "hello mate I am going to put some R1 cams into the eight I have done some research and it's easy" what do you think "your an idiot" no seriously it's simple, "your an idiot" why "it's never simple when you get in there and have to change lumps of metal that belong on other bikes" I will research further "ok" he hangs up the Phone - who was that my wife asks - Jubby I say - what's he say - he's getting a divorce I reply.
Ring ring - hello, "it's me I found some cams in America on the R1 forum" - "your an idiot, I quote the bikes only done 3k" yeah I know but the cams are on their way as we speak, " fuck" I say realising he is serious. Are you with me he asks? Yeah I say (I am an idiot) let me know when they arrive. "Who was that my wife asks? "Jubby" what's he say? - we are getting a divorce I reply!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stay tuned for further instalments.

What's this shit now??
Do something useful and write an how to or something. This should be a new thread in mods.... How to do r1 cams full of piss, with little to no experience but having great faith in fools (crazybollox).

How to do r1 cams full of piss, with little to no experience but having great faith in fools (crazybollox). will let you go into the technical stuff whilst I cover the "happenings" this might encourage others considering the mod to give it a go and anyone already into the mod that there is light at the end of the tunnel.... I could move it to another section? Admin where do you think it belongs? |
