My engine was done by Ben top guy he knows his stuff looking to give it a good run out at Croft
@SuggyRacing5 ай бұрын
Yeah I learned a lot from Ben while doing the videos with him. This all started because I was asking Ben so many questions about engines 🤣 So we came up with an idea to do the build. Then P3 Tuning came in to help us with the Dyno and bike set up, to extract as much as we can from it. Been good fun doing it all. Still a bit left to do yet. 👍

After all the hype I had to have one. Didnt disappoint and loads of fun. Not quite as quick as a gpz500 but def a better overall package. Looking forward to the build.

Looking forward to this 👍 Took my cb500 99 30k from Morecambe to Tavullia,Italy last September. Stelvio, grimsel, furka and other passes on the way back. Bike never missed a beat 👌

Hi, great video. I am super hyped about the next episodes, because i am fighting for years with the carb setup of my cb500s. Have tried everything possible, even different needles, shims, all jet combinations you can think of, different exhausts, different air filters, air boxes and everything else.... but the rich afr values of around 10,5-12 between 5000 and 6000 rpm remain. Only when accelerating with full throttle. But just crusing around or using full throttle on the autobahn is perfect
@SuggyRacing5 ай бұрын
Hey cheers for the comment. Yeah I can imagine they are not easy to set up, to get the best out of them. I will ask P3 Tuning when I'm there, what is a good set up for the carbs. 👍
@timinitimson54705 ай бұрын
Thanks man.. i am especially interested in how to get rid of that flat spot ;) . The cb-500 guys from the netherlands recommended putting fireblade carbs into the cb500, and i already have them lying around here. But first i would like to optimize the original carbs, before getting more and different problems :)
@SuggyRacing5 ай бұрын
@@timinitimson5470 I have a set of fireblade carbs to put into it. So I'll let you know how that goes if we manage to get it working. You have to split them and respace them. I've seen a few do it, so it can be done, just figuring it all out. I'll try show it on the videos when we get to the Dyno. 👍
@timinitimson54705 ай бұрын
Thanks, this would be like Christmas and Easter together :D. Please mention your setting of the fireblade carbs when everything runs fine ;).

I recently stumbled across the effect of the "needle jet". Maybe this magical part has the answer to all of my questions. I am curious if your tuner touches this part or if he can get the tuning right by just changing the needle and main-/pilot jets.

Looking good! Your last videos help me rebuild my front end. I have an engine built by Ben but not had chance to fit it due to family commitments (CBR carbs, lighter flywheel, cams, 3mm overbore, ported on inlets and exhaust).
@SuggyRacing5 ай бұрын
Hey, thanks for the comment. Glad it helped with the build. Ah cool, so you will have a really nice set up then with that. Bet it will be a great engine when you get it back in the bike. Is that for a track bike then, or road?

Hi Suggy, I got the same cb 500 S 2003 Metallica blue with 50k Km on it. May i ask which are the best tyres for this bike please? I mean i want to learn how to lean without killing myself thanx ! Great channel i an a subscriber!!! Thanx
@SuggyRacing5 ай бұрын
Hi, well for most the people in the UK using these on track or racing, they tend to use Dunlop sportsmart TT tyres. They are good enough and have very good grip for a road legal tyre. There's also tyres like Bridgestone S22 that people use. I use the Dunlop's and they are good enough for me. You can even get Pirelli Supercorsa for them, but they are expensive! The good thing with the Bridgestone and Dunlop, is they aren't that expensive. 👍

What the plan for the bike, is it road or a spare/wet race bike?
@SuggyRacing5 ай бұрын
Hey. So this time I'm aiming to do a bit of a hybrid bike. Track and also road. I've had a harness made that allows me to remove all the parts I don't need, and keep the bits that I need to pass MOT. It will have a 'daytime MOT' on it. I'll hook up a break light and horn. But I'm doing it so it can easily be removed in minute for on track. I want to be able to take the bike out for rides out on nice sunny days, and this should be ideal. I'll also use it as a practice bike for on track. I can't race with this, unless I enter an open 500 class. I'll explain it all in the later videos that I post. So stay tune as they say 😁👍

I thought Honda quoted 57hp for the PC26E motor?
@SuggyRacing5 ай бұрын
Yeah I think that was maybe an over inflated claim from Honda. Nearly all the ones I've seen are 50/51 hp. All the race bikes are about that figure anyway 👍
