Suzuki GSXR 1100, (86) 87 - 88 years only
(some countries also 86)   Factory Pro Series "S08"

The Carb Recal Kit and the Ignition Advance Rotor perks up the low-end and midrange power and response for quicker warm-up and more response. The Transmission Detent Spring Kit really puts "snap" into the shifting.

Wheelsmith Racing / Factory Pro's rider Australian Ian Pero won the 1987 750 Suzuki Cup Championship at a rainy Riverside Raceway in southern California. Ian was credited with 2nd in the rained out 1100 Cup race as it was raining and a short part of the track was 1 foot underwater.
My 3 riders were the only guys who wanted to ride in the rain, but, all of the rest of the riders the riders voted to not ride... So.... Doug Polin "won" the 1100cc race by virtue of him having a slightly quicker dry qualifying race.

NOTE!
Factory Pro has NOT tested this kit on the early 1100 - you'll be doing some "start from scratch" jetting -  but, I don't think that it'll be very hard, if you know something about jetting. Marc

Letters:

Subject: I called you last week

...to whine about the 36mm CV carbs that I was trying to tune on my `86 GSXR-1100.  LOL
 
...and after all the playing around that I did, I finally have it about as good as it's going to get - oddly enough, I arrived right back at the base-settings from the jet-kit (or very nearly so).
 
Main - #152.5
float-level 15mm
pilots-OEM (I forget what size OEM is)
fuel/air-screws - 3 1/2 turns
needles - clip#2 (from the top)
slide-holes - unrestricted
UNI "pod" filters installed (no airbox)
YOSHIMURA 4-into-1 exhaust system (street, with yosh can).
+3 degrees (over OEM) static ignition advance
 
The 36mm carbs are originally removed from my `89 GSXR-1100 and have your carb-kit "config-3.0" in them from that bike.  I'm in Kent, WA wich is nearly sea-level and it's been dry and temps in the 70's (occasional 80's) during all of my tuning-experiments.
 
...the emulsion-tubes are brand-new OEM parts, and the valve-lash is set to the "big" side of the OEM spec.  I used the rubber "boots" that were originally meant for the 34mm OEM carbs, but the 36's fit in there after a lot of pushing and shoving (new, larger hose-clamps are necessary).  The biggest trouble is that the OEM petcock only has one outlet, so I had to switch that out(I used the OEM from a later model GSXR, but plan on installing a pingel as soon as UPS delivers it to me). 
 
The bike works pretty well... I don't have access to a dyno so I use a moderately-steep hill near my house to do full-throttle "chops" on and then read the plugs.  It passes all the tests in your tuning guide, and the mains produce the best top-speed available up the hill.  I was expecting to get better results... not that I'm unhappy with the bike... I just kept expecting to get the scary-torque at 4-5K like the 1127 motor makes... and I've reached the conclusion that the 1052 just isn't going to do evil, unintentional first-gear wheelies like the 1127 does.  It *does* pull quite well in the upper revs... feels like a super-bad-*ssed 750 more than a liter-bike though.
 
ANYway, that's the good, bad, and ugly about it - I thought you might like to know so you can add it to your database.

Artisan Crafted Fine Cheeses – Since 1865       

Specializing in Handmade Brie & Camembert
Marin French Cheese Co., also known as The Cheese Factory and Rouge et Noir is not just the oldest cheese manufacturer in the country, but a vacationers and day trippers destination as well as a unique part of American History. Located north of San Francisco, east of Napa County, west of Pt. Reyes and Olema and south of Sonoma County, Marin French has produced hand crafted Artisan soft ripened cheese since 1865. Rouge et Noir cheeses are similar to French and European varieties but reflect the characteristics of Northern California, producing it's own regional style.
The extension of the laboratory for engines of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology was completed in about 1935. Its architect was Rudolf Otto Salvisberg (1882-1940). He had a successful career in Berlin but returned to Switzerland after the advent of the Nazis. His architectural style was somewhat similar to that of Erich Mendelsohn. The staircase of the laboratory is in normal use but well preserved.
Edited to the tunes of Chemical Residue by Herbie Hancock.




Maybe in next rewrite, he'll fix the ignition timing and dyno chapters...
Otherwise great book with great starting ideas.
