How to turn a Zorst into a Bike

Was hunting about looking for zorst's (as I do

) and happened across a BEET Ti system
Translated the description which tied in nicely with the photos, now the thing was - he couldn't be bothered removing it from the bike so it came with it
It had a buy it now price and some one asked if they bought it outright would the delivery be included - the seller agreed and I clicked the button
80,000 Yen delivered to my door = £377.10
The bikes a non-runner, sitting for 3yrs and the battery is fecked. I'd assume the carbs are gummed up and the fuel will be off too ! So when it arrives i'll take the carbs off and give them a good cleaning, empty the tank out and put a litre of fresh stuff in , take the battery out my bike and see if i can get it fired up.
Then it will be strip down time

I'll have my SP front end to put on it so not worried about the USD's , got the triple clamp for fitting the ZX636 USD's on the ZRX and if I dont like the look (doubt) it can go on this too
And of course I've even got one of these to go on the tank
and I want to find one of these to get the gull arm off it

(Actually bought the zorst of this one

)
Need to clear my cupboard now and find my toolbox again

A few
For my bike i am down to 4 which is good for me - it was 7 and has been 12
For other bikes 3 which is still good as it generally sits around 5 or 6 but i got a few sold last week , but another two will arrive over the next few days so will be back up to normal levels again
It's a confirmed fetish

Flippin Titanium "fire effect"

can't get enough of it

BTW, it's about to start with this bike
Got a BEET on it, I have another system in the pipeline and also want to try a Dual twin pipe race system , can each side

Tsukigi's are thin on the ground but once i've been to my local track a few times I'll soon suss what the local lad's are using
Depending on riding position i might go for a top bridge conversion and put bars on it
Should add, the "Hoover" pipes will go as i will put a ram air box in with some FCR's

It beggins

Bike should arrive some time late next week - actually hoping next Saturday
Once i get it running I want to do a power check on it as is, then when i start to change things over see what effect they are having.
Priced up the Xanthus arm and is £247 new which isn't to bad if I can't find a used one.
Already have these on their way to give me some options
Missed out on the carbon fibre ram air box
Next is to find out what the spec is on the BEET cams compared to SP ones.

Better unsubscribe from this thread now then
Already hunting for a specialized tuner to see what can be done
Mind you there is plenty info on here but want to see about un shrouding the valves - I'm a dab hand at porting and polishing so can cover that but would hate to remove to much from the head.
Is it possible to put a L9 motor in it without much problem?
If i go big bore and the original motor has low enough miles, it will get the make over

all zxr engines will bolt in mate, think the thermostat housing needs turning 180 degree's if going L to H or vice versa.

After finding out that the BEET are double the price of a set of SP , I think I know where I will be getting my cams from.
What's the UK price on Kwak SP cam's?
Any advantage having a ZXR400M ignitor box over the H?
Are the valve springs stronger in the M motor and is it good practice to fit the followers too?
Cheers guys,
DS

if by "M" you mean SP (rather than uk spec 21119-1332 M) then yes, but you'll need a whole loom and ignition rotor to match it. IIRC its a slighly diff advance curve, higher rev limit, and ability to map a TPS off the flatties.
been thinking the same thing as there's one on ebay .. dont think i can be bothered though, most folk here seem to run stock cdi's (1332), get them modded, or replace with aftermarket programmable stuff.. which is probably the way i'll go if i change from stock (more to fiddle with

)
afaik springs/followers are the same, but i couldnt swear to it.
