848 v 999 engine

  1. That's interesting (no really) I was a bit worried that the 848 one I'm running with my 916 rear disc would be squiffy.
     
  2. Nelson, not that lot. I sent them an email asking what they could do to help me and the reply I got was that all they could do was make me a key to match the dash.
     
  3. Have you had the bike running with the dash fitted?
     
  4. This is very interesting! I'd like to know if this works out....could open up a load of possibilities for older bikes.
     
  5. I have found out by trial and error, that the trigger disc will need only eight holes to fit everything on.


    If you mark out the 5 holes on the pcd,(for the bolt holes) then using one hole at 12 o'clock, mark out the 4 holes. one of the 4 would then be shared by one of the mounting bolts. You will need then to drill to a depth, one of the ti bolts heads 7mm. Then insert a 7mm ferrous pin. Then you can drill the 8.5mm holes for the bolts and the other 3 at 6mm to rivet 7mm stepped pins through.

    Not had it all running yet, as I am addressing problems that I know would arise.

  6. f_e have you given up on the 999 engine with the 848 dash then? Is there a technical reason like it wouldn't work, or just preference?
     
  7. It would work just a case of deciding what is the best way of wiring the inj/tb's. Not hard at all. 1098 came up at a good price. After all they are only engines
