Would a 2004 Suzuki GSXR1000 be to much for a small buggy?

[CyB3R_D3MoN]

Im getting a GSXR1000 motor soon :Angel_anim:. one problem with it though. the guy said something about a skater in the clutch? what is that? and i did research on a GSXR1000. it puts out about 165 Horsepower and around 85 ft/lbs of torque. to much? what i really wan2 know about is that thing called a "skater". its prolly not the correct spelling but it sounds just like it. anybody help me out?



thanks

Dude, not that I know much, but 165 horse is waaaaaaaay more than neccesary. That's like only 105 horsepower less than my mom's Pathfinder. Plus I really doubt that it would make that much, even for a 1000, I have a 250 dirtbike, and they only make, like 45.

Am I way off, or does anyone else agree?

 

[dpaxson]

165 is a little high, but not too far off. I know the ninja zx10 broke 160hp a couple years ago and i think that was the first one to do that. as for the skate rin the clutch thing I have no idea.

 

[CyB3R_D3MoN]

yes lol your WAY off. here is a link to the site explaining the 2004 GSXR1000(which is the same exact one im getting )

but will it pull a wheelie after its all done you think? lol hahahaha

 

[That One Guy]

Wow, video games can really throw a guy, huh? Tourist Trophy was wrong....

 

[CyB3R_D3MoN]

keep in mind i might put a 4WD convertor on it as well. its going to be used mainly for offroad swamping and mud boging lol. but it will be used for street as well. i do have about five miles of road to drive on to get to the muddy places :]

 

[CyB3R_D3MoN]

lol its alright dude. but can it pull a wheelie you think? lol will it make the kart lift a little off the ground? or alot? or vertical? or will it do a backflip if i put the petal to the metal? lol hehe

 

[That One Guy]

Get some super knoby tires or some padles, and sand!

 

[CyB3R_D3MoN]

lol padles are the way to go hehe. but can you answer my question?

 

[That One Guy]

**** that thing's big! Lol. I want an 05 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, they're pretty bad arse!!

 

[That One Guy]

I can try, just dont kill me if I'm wrong. 4WD will make it a tad more difficult to pull a wheelie, because of them getting half of the power they would normally recieve. But really, there are so many variables, ie; weight distribution, grade, terrain, tires...

 

[CyB3R_D3MoN]

most weight on back. 4WD can wait, on road, with street tires. with a 165HP engine can i you think? lol

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Go for it, no such thing as too much power.

 

[That One Guy]

Weight on the back will help, on road, with street tires... maybe? I think that that would probably make for more wheelspin.

 

[modelengineer]

You would only wheelie if you put all the weight at the back. Wheelies aren't a good thing, they slow you down.

The Edge Piranha buggies use 750cc - 1400cc bike engines up to 400hp, so around that size buggy is what you want for that size engine.
Also, bike engines are just about the worst engines for mud bogging. They need to rev heaps.

Good point.

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

You can NEVER have enough power. Not sure if I follow this "rev heaps" thing.

 

[motor_head]

"rev heaps"-makes power at a really high rpm
but that can be changed with a different cam
you can never have too much power

 

[That One Guy]

But who wants to buy a new camshaft?
