The bike was bought in late 2009 as a cosmetic salvage. This means that mechanically the bike was perfect but since it was a street bike and had had a crash, it was written off by the insurance company as the bodywork would have outstripped its value.
I do have the title but we never bothered to do anything with it since I had only planned to race it and never street it again.
The motor was built by Grant Matsushima (noted AMA Team Owner and engine builder. Was Danny Eslick’s crewchief for years) November 2010 so there is not any mileage I can give you. Basically the motor was brand new in November. Has maybe 20-26 days on it since it was built.
SUPERBIKE SETUP:
- Motor was completely disassembled and rebuilt as “blueprint” so all tolerances are carefully checked to match factory design perfection
- Head was decked to raise the compression but not enough to force biannual rebuilds (some need to be rebuilt twice a year, ours is fine)
- All valves were replaced and all bearings.
- Cams were degreed
- Clutch is from an 07. Less but thicker clutch plates
- Cryo-Treated NGK Spark plugs
- Uses a Hindle “Alienhead” exhaust which is rare here in the US.
- Dynojet Powercommander 5, Secondary Fuel Module, Autotune System, Quickshifter
- We dyno’d the bike at Dynojet at Las Vegas and it made about 134 to the wheel on MR12
