July 2022 with Spring Mountain Powertec America. The damage on this engine after 25 hours on-load was minimal but needed a new clutch and transmission parts. I would imagine there are many standard ...

I called the Radical engine department in the UK, and I was able to talk to I think the lead engine rebuilder as well as another engine tech. They both confirmed that the refresh schedule for the 150...

Thanks Dan and Charley for the input. I have sent an email to Spring Mountain for clarification, and I will likely send another to the factory. It would be useful to hear what they have to say, alth...

You are correct. In my ECU log book data, I have the following for on-load: On-load engine speed (rpm): 4000 On-load throttle position(%): 25.00 On-load vehicle speed (kph): 48.3

The SR3 cannot be beaten on performance vs cost! Interesting comments on hours, especially from a dealer, as I was fairly sure the factory still recommend on total running hours. Worth keeping in mind...

Performance Comparison The SR3 is a popular HPDE track day car and race car for several reasons. It has high downforce, is light weight, paddle shift, and has superb performance for the total cost ...

I think I and others may have posted some info about run time versus load time for engine and GDU refresh for 1500cc SR3, as well as what to use in terms of the lifing of components. I want to set th...

Hi all, Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. Recently purchased an SR3 chassis #110 with a few upgrades. Have been searching the forums for a few years waiting to make a purchase. Thanks ...

Awesome write up! And love the homemade tool idea. I've found that about 70g of grease works a lot better than the recommended 100g in the SR10 manual.

Steven, When I took my side pod off I was amazed how much rubber made it past the screen. You can see toward the back of this picture the intake screen and how much I blocked it off with duct tape to...

As Charley said some grills go in there to help protect radiators. Blocking radiators for temp is done with tape. More importantly I spot classic Suzuki colours, pics of the rest of the car please!?

@rjbender Nice write up! I'll be doing the job (for the umpteenth time) again next month as I get my SR8 ready for the upcoming spring "season". I was gonna do something similar to your bearing packer...

What a great write up, thank you sir.

I would also recommend getting a cover for that electronics box. It is hard to tell from the picture but it is likely either a Geartronics shift box, or perhaps a gear indicator box, or shift light b...

The 4 open connectors are not used on track cars. The street legal cars have side markers and those plugs are for the side markers.
