The Gen2 1441 build

[BLACKZOOK]

The actual cost for a spirited Sydney peak hour commuter are as follows. This bike has commuted in peak hour traffic in 40+ and in the wet with no problems so far.

A testament to using the right people to supply, build and tune.

Block
Gen 1 block Gen 2 blocks have had some issues recently, cracking when over bored and hit with a big shot of NOS. The Gen 1 block was sent to APE in the states who bored it to 84mm and re-plated it. I wanted this modified block rebored and plated not just a stock exchange block. Blocks can be had for a couple of hundred depending on condition. Ebay US is a good source. $300.00

Pistons
No too high in compression so they will run fine on premium, we may even end up playing with them to lower the ratio a bit.
JE 84mm 13.25:1 pistons.
Piston and block kit approx: $1300.00
Plus freight for block to the states and local freight in Australian

We ended up running over 13:1 compression which has been fine on premium, the gen 2 head must be helping here as no detonation so far.


Gaskets
Head and base gaskets to suit 84mm bore – cometec $150.00.

Cams
I chose a reasonable grind, the loss in bottom end and midrange should be compensated by the increase bore.
WEB billet .395/.378 grinds, purchased outright no exchange. $1100.00

Schnitz adjustable cam gears $220.00
Allows dialing in of the cams.

Brocks cam relocation pin $50.00

Head
The head will be gas flowed locally this is where real gains can be made on the gen 1 and 2 especially with a big motor
Head work $1500.00 plus

This was the final cost. The head guy commented on how much extra flow there was from the gen 2.


Cooling
I will relocate the temp sensor so the fans come on earlier, the alloy blades move more air.
Two Muzzy alloy fan blades $120.00

Just running alloy blades all else is stock.


Starting
High comp big bore busa motors donâ€t like starting on one battery especially when warm. This kit runs a small secondary gel battery mounted in the side of the tailpiece and charges automatically. No more switches to start/charge.
Tiger racing 24 volt auto start system $300.00

For sale 24 volt is not needed on a gen2 even with HIGH compression.

Real rev limit set to 11000 revs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ECU Reflash
I will reflash the ECU to increase the rev limit, take out the ignition retard and top speed limiter and set the rev limiter to a hard cut. Smith ECU re-flash hardware kit $240.00

Money well spent, incredible work Pete, my past bike has cost me more on setup than build. Not this time.

I'm not a complete idiot - Several parts are missing.

Would anyone else with a 1441 who is claiming bullshit numbers from a bullshit dyno like to post their costs including copies of all reciepts, happy to post my reciepts.

Call my dyno numbers bullshit ?
See you in Minchinberry. Or do you lack the length?

All up it really equates to $146.00 per hp over stock.
