[@AndyPat239]

very clean workshop 👍

[@kishored.bsingham8427]

Definitely will be looking at it

[@IMAA-299lives]

Pure professionalism, I always enjoy watching your videos. I do most of my work on my bike and its always enjoyable and useful watching others work on bikes, your videos are special.

[@TomMushMoto]

I always use 3 bound. Class stuff never knew they did grey though 😂

[@PalmerPerf_]

The grey has been around for years, it's basically the same as Hondabond or Yama Bond 😁👍

[@TomMushMoto]

@ yer we just order the Suzuki part number one 😀

[@jasonmorales5126]

So relaxing watching this. Thanks for posting

[@garymorgan628]

You certainly made that look easy ,a very methodical approach to everything certainly helps (along with a lot of experience )👍

[@PalmerPerf_]

Thanks 👍

[@TonyChettleburgh]

Hi, love watching an engine build. How do you find Kawasaki engines for durability compared with say Suzuki ?

[@PalmerPerf_]

@@TonyChettleburgh Kawasaki engines are generally pretty bulletproof as are Suzuki.....I used to do a few GSXR1000 engines for a world endurance team and those things would do thousands of race miles with no issues!

[@TonyChettleburgh]

@PalmerPerf_ Thanks very much for your reply 😀

[@matejdivic9149]

Hi Palmer, wich maker is that piston ring compressor? I see, it even has nice lip on the bottom side, making whole job a treat. Keep a good work sir!!

[@PalmerPerf_]

@@matejdivic9149 Wiseco but the lip on the bottom I machined myself 👍

[@josos8711]

I enjoy your videos. What is the back story, why is this engine being rebuilt? Assume original cases, did they require any machining? Thanks.

[@PalmerPerf_]

@@josos8711 just being rebuilt to make sure it is at 100% for a new race season!

[@skandix]

You didn't weight the pistons and Con Rods to precisely match/balance them?

[@PalmerPerf_]

@skandix Supersport rules over here you're not allowed to remove material to weight match rods etc but obviously they have been weighed and paired up as best as they can be, all checks, specs and measurements done prior to assembly 😉😁

[@skandix]

@@PalmerPerf_ All good. You might want to mention some of the facts to your viewers.

[@needmetal3221]

What makes it race spec? Ecu tuning?

[@PalmerPerf_]

@@needmetal3221 cams, cylinder head porting, race kit head gasket 😎👍

[@bobbyblueace]

No need to check ring gaps?

[@PalmerPerf_]

All clearances, specs etc checked prior to assembly 👍....but as a general rule I've never had to adjust ring gaps on any "modern" engines.....older stuff yes but manufacturing tolerances are so much better these days 😁👍

[@bobbyblueace]

@@PalmerPerf_ Thanks for the info.

[@nunyabizness1566]

I was wondering why you dont have the crank lightened & balanced or gram balance the rods & pistons but then I realized thats due to the supersport rules.

[@bhaihussain6271]

hi sir , I've an Kawasaki ninja 250r & i want to upgrade it like race engine... 😬😬😬

[@PalmerPerf_]

Check out Spears Racing, they do lots of parts for the ninja 250/300/400 👍
