2017 GSX-R1000 S2B: Episode 9 (P4) - Rear Ceramic Bearings and Gearing

In Episode 9 (Part 4,) Brock continues ‘go fast’ modifications, this time to the rear of Gixzilla. Instead of duplicating a home garage or side of the road bearing install, Brock shows you how it’s done using professional tools and techniques.
Riddle: What is the question that has no answer… but has a definite answer? Question: “What is the best gearing for my_____(you fill in the blank)?” Answer: Brock touches on how to begin the quest for the perfect gearing, especially when you have no experience with the machine. Of course and as always, he addresses these issues in a non-technical manner, while also providing advanced information that makes professionals take note.
We hope you enjoy 2017 GSX-R1000 S2B: Episode 9 (P4) Drag Prep - Rear Wheel Ceramic Bearings & Gearing Changes.
WARNING: Some of the information and performance techniques listed in this video are advanced. Please use discretion when attempting these or any other high-performance modifications. If in doubt, always choose SAFETY FIRST and configure your bike exactly as your manufacturer suggests.

Keep it up and I would suggest for you to watch a couple of videos from the types of individuals who teach you the millionaire mindset that magnetically draws in wealth because of the confidence that it takes to make the power of suggested programming to gain great wealth which in your case can be accomplished just by doing what you are doing and you’ll be like a magnet for people of great wealth who will be drawn towards you from that confidence that you naturally display in your instructional teaching abilities

I am a solid 3yrs rider. Started late in life with a ninja 250r. Was honestly shaky and stalled twice and dropped bike once at a stop but for the most part of the last 2 seasons (can’t ride in nh all year long) modding the bike to the peak a person can with a 250r. You know, mods for 70% of these guys is lever changes and tail tidy lol. Maybe a strap on….I mean, slip on haha. I’ve gutted the cats…on my 2nd set of carb jets, topped out and geared to do a whopping 103 downhill with wind. Hoping to purchase a 2021 (I want that particular paint scheme) mt-09 that I’ll ride for 1 season then send it to Moore for an in person dyno session with tune. Stage 2 air filter and most likely Brock’s pipes. I just am here to say thank you Brock and Chris for all you do for the bike community. You guys are good role models and experts in the field. Sorry for the rant.

[@usablixxer9880]

Hey Brock. Quick question. I’m about to do swingarm and ceramic bearings tomorrow. Couple questions. Removing rear brakes. Have everything, but will the ABS pump need to be plugged? Where do I stop taking off for rear brakes? Does the abs even work for front wheel? Also, stock wheels putting these ceramic bearings in there? Don’t have the 4k for carbon wheels yet, when I do, are bearings reusable in new wheels?

[@BrockDavidson]

@Blixxerdmv, you will want to have a copy of the genuine service manual for your bike in hand before attempting your mods, as all of your questions except the last are covered in detail. Yes, we use these in stock wheels - there is very little chance the OEM bearings will match BST fitments, if that's what you are asking?

[@Mikepower1978]

These videos will explode given enough time/ exposure. Really a pleasure to watch. When a layman with no patience or experience like me learns from them anyone could, in fact Brock could probably teach a rock.

[@siswamy1]

When the wheel bearings are replaced is it possible to remove dust seals without them getting damaged?

[@BrockDavidson]

The dust OEM seals are no longer required after installation of our ceramic bearings as they are equipped with low tension seals to reduce power reduction due to seal friction.

[@I-Need-Saving]

I have a couple buddies saying it’s pretty pointless to do the ceramic bearings on regular cast wheels and only worth doing if your gonna upgrade wheels. Obviously you have some sort of results with those stock wheels on gixzilla but would you still recommend even if you never plan to upgrade wheels? I can’t decide if $400 is worth it or not hahaha!

[@BrockDavidson]

Your buddies are 100% incorrect, IMHO. In fact, since heavy cast wheels don't like to roll easily, the results of ceramics are even more pronounced. Make sure to pay close attention to how your bike rolls around the garage floor, costs on the road etc... You will feel the difference!.

So what chain do you run for the least resistance? I know you said non oring just curious if you had done any testing on which one performs best

[@BrockDavidson]

We prefer EK or Regina.

[@micyclesport]

Great info, 2nd to none with attention to detail!

[@usmcat68]

Since the bearings are sealed do you need to run the OEM dust seal? For street use

[@BrockDavidson]

No. The low friction seals on the bearings keep dust out. We are careful not to hit them with a pressure washer though...corrosion from this is about the only way they fail.

[@rramz1345]

Brock killed it with the dropped mic clip Lol. Can't wait to see the video on streching the bike. I'm literally one of the few guys in my riding clique that's swb but I can pretty much out run all of them since I'm Brock ECU flashed, Brock PCV, and Brock Full Street Meg System.

[@manindernz]

Boss ending 🤯😳👍🏽👌🏾

[@gsxr_luka]

Super good videos you got ! But the chain it was not to tight? Normaly when you sit on the bike it gets more "load" weight and chain starts to be over tightened (talking from my own experience). 2-2,5cm it must go up-down when its not loaded if im correct?

[@BrockDavidson]

The chain becomes looser as power is applied, not only from stretch/tension - but more from the aggressive swingarm attack angle pulling the rear wheel into the racing surface. I cover this in more detail in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5TKeHpoi81qp8k

[@gsxr_luka]

@@BrockDavidson Yeah i know, but in service manual it says so.. 2-2,5 cm ..

[@BrockDavidson]

Does the service manual consider chassis and suspension mods? Adjustable lowering links, front end straps etc... The manual is great for a 100% stock bike. It's up to us to use our knowledge, common sense and experience to make adjustments to a modified bike.

[@gsxr_luka]

@@BrockDavidson Yeah, true too 😃

[@roamconfidently3724]

I have played with hybrid ceramic bearings in few different high speed applications. My testing has not revealed any performance gain over a good quality S.S. bearing that has been properly lubricated and installed. One big advantage is that the overall bearing is more corrosion resistant. Built jet engines for years, we never touched bearings with our bare hands and the oil from your skin is a corrosive. Best of luck with the bearings, but I would like to see some actual data comparing them head to head.

[@BrockDavidson]

Our average is 1 to 1.5 MPH gain in the 1/4 mile on most applications. lighter/lower power bikes like 600's pick up well, as do heavy/high speed bikes. The legendary Bill Warner (RIP) learned early-on of their advantages and used Worldwide Bearings to crush the sit-on motorcycle land speed record. More Info:bit.ly/3UWiC3T

Great video mate and I don't blame you getting someone to help with the back wheel install 🤣. Can I ask you did you change the rear axle from left to right so you have to tighten up the rear axle nut on the right now or is it how the bike came . Cheers .

[@BrockDavidson]

That's how it came. If they don't, we swap them (if pipe clearance allows) as it makes a single person install much quicker.

[@charalamposrafailalexoglou7909]

Hey brock, very nice video!! I was curious about something, if we shorten the chain and make the length between front wheel and rear wheel shorter it would handle better? or stock length is ok?

[@BrockDavidson]

The stock length is generally a great spot. Shorter wheelbase bikes have a tendency to turn a bit quicker, but they can also get 'twitchy'. But we are splitting hairs, you just need to try it.

Would be great to share those XLS files for the gearing :D

[@ruikazane5123]

I learned the things about gearing through experience. The dyno chart also helps, so you can optimize that powerband to your gear setup. That is how it's done on the street and track, but on a straight line you don't want too much except if you want wheelies all the time. You just need to match things together, and that's where knowhow is *needed* . You cannot go guessing, but you better try it firsthand to get started. If you get the things right in mind, you will enjoy it in the long run! (edit: needed is in bold)

[@neilb6029]

Hi Brock, love your video's. I have a question that will probably be a little odd for you but here goes. Would you recommend ceramic wheel bearings for bikes that tour and would it provide noticeable better fuel economy? It may seem like I'm penny pinching but I live in Australia where increasing the range of a bike even slightly can mean the difference between between reaching the fuel stop or a long walk. The longest distance between fuel stops on a main road in Australia is 287kms.

Hey Brock what would happen if you soaked the chain in acetone for a few days or some type of chemical that dissolves rubber?

The o-rings prevent the solvent from removing the thick grease under the rollers.

Hey Brock I prefer the longer videos it feels like your jumping around with this method. The other videos felt smoother. When you get more in-depth on gearing would you be willing to explain about optimal shift points on?

[@BrockDavidson]

We edited out 2 hours of video on this one. We will get in depth at the track, with the riders.

[@vr___46]

I think is definetly the chain that slowing down.plus the fact that chain is cold. Mine on my gsxr 1000 with 520 is spinning pretty good cold, and much more better when chain is worm after a ride when I clean and lube it.

[@BrockDavidson]

We don't get the chance to warm the chain when drag racing.

[@trevorellis1704]

I may not have seen all the videos in this series, but on a semi-serious point how would these speed improvements compare to the rider losing a couple of pounds in weight?

It helps- our general rule is that removing 25-30 lbs. from the rider should be worth about 1/10th improvement in E.T. in the 1/4 mile.

I meant "break" instead of "brake" lol but yes the 3D chain is amazing, it's only a few hundred pounds of tensile strength less than the stock 530 chain, but being that the 3D 520 is rated at over 9400 lbs. it works! If I am correct, the new ZX10RR's come factory with a 520 chain as do BMW's new "M" spec but you might check for yourself on that. To me, that kind of says that it might mean something.

[@BrockDavidson]

Generally no on the 17/42. The extensions will help prevent wheelies, so you can run a higher overall gear ratio to promote quicker acceleration. 16/45 would be a good selection, but the bike might rev too high on the interstate, etc. It really depends upon what type of riding you do.

Brock you rock!!

[@revolutionmotorsport]

I would have thought you would want to go up on the rear on this bike brock since it has a tall first gear already?

[@BrockDavidson]

"tall" is a realative term, as the gear chart shows.

[@revolutionmotorsport]

Brock Davidson I mean a larger rear or smaller front for more acceleration

[@revolutionmotorsport]

What type of rpm are you guys launching with stock wheel base and that gearing brock

[@robedmenson9334]

Surely it’s the gearbox that’s creating most of that drag, not the chain? I do agree that the chain plays a small part, but there’re are other things that factor in. Like have you cut you brake pads in half?

[@robedmenson9334]

I see. I don’t 100% agree with the methods, or the pros vs cons of doing it. But yeah ok.

[@BrockDavidson]

@@robedmenson9334 that's fine. It's not for everyone, that's for sure. Our goal is world class sportbike drag racing results.
