I did think that myself but Im not sure if he owns an R1 powered mini as well. If not though, how do you fit an LSD to an R1? Even a diff for that matter?

no a propper r1, and you obviously don`t know bike clutches?

Who's been swearing???! lol Missed that. If I seemed to offend Miff, I do apologise. I was honestly asking what he's power to weight ratio was and whether it handled any worse for having a 3 tonne lump up front. Only a few people have ever fit these ultra light R1 motors upfront in a Mini and I was just interested in how they compare to more common machinery. And I was genuinely asking him if he's got an R1 powered car or some sort off ultra special R1 with an LSD.

i have two r1s, bikes are my passion, race and road, my car is just something i had a go at doing because i could, and the 3 ton 197 horse motor is adequate, i could stick an r1 motor in a car i have three or four laying around, but power to weight in a a 4xv r1 is 137 bhp in something that weighs 198 kilos. now i know it was the first ever bike to acheive a thousand bhp per ton, but that was claimed by yamaha. it was discredited by the motor cycle press, and my numb cxe motor was built to drag a car around that weighed a ton and a half, so it does work both ways i think,

quite happy to admit up front that i don't know anyting about bike engines/gearboxes but...... i though lsd's and diffs in general are used to transmit power to 2+ wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds (hence the name differential) . whats the point of a diff on a bike?? also, i though diff's were part of the gearbox, not the clutch mechanism.

Your the one that doesn't know bike clutches, go and read a book before open your mouth, and also keep your worthless comments to yourself

hmm, a bike wet clutch does work in a similar way to a lsd(depending on the manufacturer/type) 2 or more sets of plates, pre-loaded up to a certain pressure to give only a little slip, but an R1 cannot have an LSD!! it has a wet, plate type clutch!! as much as it works on the same principles its just not an LSD!! limited slip differential, clue is in the name "allowing 2 wheels to move at different speeds" as u said, but they BOTH have to be DRIVEN wheels, and unless im very much mistaken or you have a 3 wheeled R1, you have no differental on your bike because you only have 1 driven wheel and its driven via a chain, directly from the gearbox output to the sprocket on the back wheel which directly drives the rear wheel.

I have had some 36 bikes in the last 30 years. I know the hayabusa has a slipper clutch as standard to help on down shifts.
But its not a lsd. I have never heard so much verbal diarrhoea on this project of late. I am very interested in this build project and cant wait till its back on topic.

yes sorry, totally agree, back to the good stuff!!

Here is some more work( i am steaming ahead now! ), making the exhaust manifold.

how nice does that manifold look??


what are you making it from? im assuming your making it of course.. and what type of steel are you using? T304?

I have money dropping out of my ass so i am having all the stuff done in a shop.......LOL just kidding
Half the fun is making all this stuff my self, and i am using mild steel donuts for the manifold.
