Hi I got my 1999 zx9r engine for £400 with ecu, carbs, headers e.t.c. Just need the fuel pump and dials. Thinks its done 16000 miles can't remember now. Not sure if it runs yet as I haven't got that far and haven't wanted to go outside recently with all the snow.
Don't mind doing a rebuild of sorts for that kind of money though, probably needs some TLC. They seem to sell for good prices compared to a fireblade or R1, and are pretty high revving and powerful. Ozzy has given me lots of tips for fitting the zx9r. I managed to grab a milled baffle plate for £12 from ebay unused although I'm not sure how neccessary it is, unless your racing. The only inconvenience is I think I'm going to have to chop the alluminium sump down because there is an area that hangs down below the rest of the sump that must be for a bit of extra oil capacity. Looks like it will seek out the speed bumps left as it is. Chris

Another thought.
Push or pull on the gear lever to change up or down. Whats the general preference with a BEC? I thought pull back to change up? Cheers Chris

Pull to change up is the way to go, but some systems mirror themselves either side of the steering wheel so you can pull right to go up and pull left to go down. Tis what I'll be doing next time.......

Pull to change up is the instinctual way I thought about doing it. However I looked at someones photo of their bell crank arrangement and they looked like they were pushing to change up.
Cheers Spud.

I,m not sure of how the linkage is made in BEC, but its easy to change the direction of pull/push for changing up or down the gears on a bike engine,
Just use an adjustable tie rod with some rose joints to alter the position of the clamp on the gearbox output shaft on the bike engine, In bike racing, its quite common to have the gear selection "down for going up the box", this gives more ground clearance when racing a bike as the foot is not UNDER the gear lever, known as "Race setup", most bikes for the road are set up as 1 down , 5 up. Sorry to waffle on, but its very easy to change to a personal preference, so try both  cheers andy
