wavey Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 I do a few s1000rr engines and when the latest one dropped onto the bench I thought I'd do a bit of a 'how to' guide on stripping and rebuilding it. I've tried to include guides to thinks like valve clearances, leak downs tests and usual engine checks without going too basic or hopefully too complicated. This is part 1, if nothing else it'll cure insomnia 12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wavey Posted May 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Bottom end is the same except for a detail update on some gear tooth shapes. Head and cams are different on the gen3 but you'd have to be hawkeye to spot the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theo Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Very nice, but be easier just to post up the manual for a GSXR1000 K5 no? I suppose there'll be the issue of the BMW roundels to deal with though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This motor was also on the same oil and it does work well. Having read up about some oil stuff on a separate posting on here last week it really does seem the 5 or 10 winter rating isn't very important on a race bike as it'll be warmed up before riding (and generally not used in freezing temperatures). But no reason to move away from the BMW recommendation as it all costs the same 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might go 5w40 for both when we've built the fresh engine up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blow_away Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 I'm glad the wobbly light has gone What oil do you use on reassembly? Motul 300V, or a specialist assembly oil which gets changed early? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyJim Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Really enjoyed the last two episodes @wavey - particularly the cylinder head one, and how the valve is held in with collets etc. keep up the good work and bonus point for sorting out the strobe lighting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
