Hi all, First time on the forum here. Not sure where to post this, but here goes: I'm putting an XR650R motor in an FZR400 chassis.

Start a new thread.  Title it "XR650R motor in an FZR400 chassis".

 

I think you'll find quite a few of us interested in how it turns out.  I'll be curious how much it weighs.  Also, how well it works on the street.

My Question is Why? 50+ hp would be tame would it not

My Question is Why? 50+ hp would be tame would it not

I'm looking to make this bike competitive within the classes I plan to race it  since it will be racetrack-only. The eventual goal will be 60+ hp. Even then, that's not much, but my goal for this bike is to get it below 250lbs total weight and the handling is what I expect will be the thing that will contribute the most to a good lap time. However, the motor itself should be very good coming off the corners and very controllable as far as playing with wheelspin. All good things as far as racing.

 

I expect it will be fairly mild initially as far as power output goes. The internals are stock but the carb is a 45mm flat slide and the current exhaust system is only enough to get the gases directed somewhat rearward. Before I start going for big numbers I want to do shakedown runs to sort out all the (hopefully) minor chassis problems that crop up in a custom build. Then I'll make sure I put a nice Carrillo rod in and have the crank trued and welded before I whack it with the horsepower stick.

You really need to start a separate thread for this.  I want to follow what you're doing, but not mixed in with hundreds of other posts.  It sounds like a pretty cool bike.

Just picked this '07 XRL up at the end of January:

 

 

It came significantly pre-farkled. 4.0gallon tank, skid plate, luggage rack, Oil Temp Dipstick, FMF Q4 exhaust with Uni FIlter and Dynojet carb kit. 

 

Since I've had it, I've raised it back to stock height, fabbed up some bar risers, Plastidipped the side plates black and put a grand total of 12 miles on her. This IA winter is showing no signs of letting up!

Just picked this up last week. Has a broken kickstart return spring( guessing because kick lever doesn't return on it's own)

That thing was just on Ebay.  Looks pretty original too, probably a lot better mechanical shape then mine when I first got it.  Have to love the 86 color scheme.
