@@tonybyrne7573 You mean to put it back on? I probably just didn't show it in the video, but its definitely on there 😁👍 yeah Ben has built and modified so many of these engines.

@@Myntsyntes There's a big following for the cb500 for racing, so i just used the bike I had already. I got this bike for £500 in terrible condition. So it was fun to do a complete rebuild. Thanks fot the support, appreciate it 👍

@@SuggyRacing Can't argue with that. Keep up the good work!

@ Ha ha thanks mate appreciate it. Ill get the walk around video out soon 👍

@@sergiotalves thank you, much appreciated 👍

Now come the race, 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👌​@@SuggyRacing

@@johna6968 Yeah I think he was until he set up his own company at P3

It won't even come near the limits of the bottom end

@@davidwedlock2622 yeah shouldn't be a problem, I think we would only see issues if we changed to bigger pistons and didn't put stronger rods in. I'll soon find out 😁

@@mociczyczki Hi. Yeah Thundersport doesn't exist anymore. But yeah, the other clubs like No Limits don't accept tuned bikes. I would have to use this in an open race class. I've still got my other standard race bike 😁

@ this cb with 63 whp now be similar fast to sv 650 especially that is lighter than stock do you weight it with full tank i wuesss 175-180 kg full tank it should do 12-12,2 sec e.t. 1/4 mile at close to 170 km/h stock is 13,3 sek /156 km/h 👌🏻 wonder how long weakest part of engine whichstsnd this power assuming relatively fast riding for sure less than stock but be how much 🤷🏻‍♂️🍿 i stay with me stock cb 500 power its lil sad that manufactpry didint make more lowand midrsnge torq /power but it is what it is peak is ok for me with stock bike 👌🏻 🍿 but 55 nm at 5 k rpm instead of 47 nm at 8000 rpm be amazing like for me but i dont like change stock setup use to it already and scream /rev the 💩 out of it all the time 🤭🤷🏻‍♂️ otherwise it didnt move to fast 🤷🏻‍♂️👌🏻🍿

Yes hopefully it will keep up with the SV bikes now. I'm not sure what it weighs, but it would be interesting to find out. Hopefully lighter than an SV bike. The bottom end of the bike is standard, so I'm hoping the extra power doesn't create any problems. I'll soon find out as I thrash it on track 🤣

@@sidecarbod1441 Ha ha yeah, ain't nobody got time to wait 500 miles for it to be done. Yeah @p3tuning know their stuff 👍😎

@@11Hirako Hi. This K&N filter had to be adapted to make it fit the carbs. It's too large for the original CB500 carbs, mine are from 900rr fireblade. The filter needed to be cut and reshaped to suit. There's a lot of work that I did on the bike, making custom bits to make it work. I'm sure there are others out there that may fit. I know DNA filters can make one to whatever size you need.

Thank you very much !

@@MrTench8 The bottom end is all standard on the bike. All we did was top end, cylinder head work, cams and flywheel. Yeah it's a light tune, there's loads more Ben could do with it to add more. The CB is pretty under powered for a bike as standard. It is old I suppose and was only meant for delivering pizza 🍕 🤣

its at whell at crsnk be 70+ 👌🏻 so more like 140+ bhp/L

@@debt_slav3381 Thank you 😎

Ha ha ha, cheers mate. Glad you enjoyed the videos. I can't take all praise, BCR Performance and P3 Tuning did loads to help me with this build. 😎

@@kepamurray1845 Ha ha yeah exactly. They will be like.... 'What the hell is going on here, he should be behind us?' 😂

@@marcswinnen9100 Thanks mate. Appreciate the support 👍

@@marcswinnen9100 Send it to BCR I'm sure I could do something 😁 The Ninja 400 is pretty quick alongside these bikes. I did a few races with them, and they are hard to keep up with 😁

you are talking about a 2 stroke! Cant compare with this engine.

@@geertmulder6891 Exactly

Well, as said the CR is a 2 stroke and the KTM is 690cc so not sure what your point is .

@@ekspatriat Hi, yeah as the others have said. It's a different kind of engine 👍

I don't think this video is about a CR500 or a 690 Duke, neither of which would be eligible for CB500 class racing

@@rafaellastracom6411 Thank you, yeah pretty happy with it. There's loads more that's could be done too. Which makes me wonder how far it could be pushed 😂

@@jamiemoore8783 Thank you, appreciate it 👌

@@SuggyRacing looking forward to the build video

I just need a few nice sunny, dry days and I'll be able to film it all 😁

@@Jaded-Wanderer Thanks mate, yeah BCR and P3 did a mega job with it all. I had the easy part with the bike build 😂

Thank you, I just need a few days of good weather to be able to film it. 😂👍

I went all out, again! So bike wouldn't be cheap to make. Ben can probably give you an idea of the engine work cost though. 👍

@SuggyRacing I need another cb. Id love to see 1 with an engine swap

Yeah with the yahama mt07 engine 👌

@SuggyRacing yeah or a 900rr blade engine

What kind of work is that? 🤣​@@SuggyRacing

@@Chris5685 Thanks mate, appreciate the nice words 👌

@@Scouser213 thanks mate, Ben (Bcr Performance) did an awesome job

Thanks dude 😎

Cheers mate, appreciate it 👍😎

Thank you, really appreciate it. 👌

@@smallcarpentry Hi, I don't actually have a pit bike, but all the ones I saw were scorpion full system exhausts, they looked and sounded good 👍

@@kennerroberto7322 Hi. Yeah it's very popular for racing with this bike over in England and France. We have lots of these bikes here. They are old but very fun to ride

@@mrmaxxbuiss8742 Hi. Do you mean the pipes underneath the tank? I just have heat shrink on them and then I use a cable tie to keep it tight. Hope that makes sense? For the fuel tap, I removed the internal seals from it so it doesn't leak. It removes the vaccum hose to the engine too

@@SuggyRacingyes thanks I was talking about the fuel tap mod. So I looked again at the video sounds better to me now !

@@1pokiwoki I think you could run the master cylinder without it, but most just put the new one that comes with the kit back in

@@7sj3Ax Hi, thanks for the comment. I asked Ben who built it, and he said we could have done that and it would improve performance, but would mean having to get the crank balanced and was a bit overkill for the build. We tried to make it as cost effective as we could. 👍

@@hungrysurfer9471 Yeah I would say it's probably one of the bikes that could easily do it. The engines are pretty strong as they aren't really under any stress. Theres talk of setting up a cb500 6 hour endurance race on the Facebook groups i'm on. So might be a something that happens next year. Not sure on weight as we can only remove fairing and road parts, no modifying to make it lighter. Power wise, they are 52hp maximum.

Yeah unfortunately I only found out at the start of the weekend, so definitely wasn't ideal timing for a race. It has hard work for sure 😀 Thank you, it was mega fun. Bit scary at times when you know you are close to the other riders. But guess that makes it fun too. Appreciate the comment 👍

@@johna6968 Hey thanks for the comment. Yeah there's a few I know that have had problems with the Hagons. Guess it depends how long you've had them. It is annoying they can't be serviced, as it makes them useless. They are cheap compared to other shocks, but still annoying you can't change the oil and sort them out. Yeah I'll give YSS a try and see how they are. The loud exhaust rasp is because my microphone is right next to the exhaust can, so it's picking up all the noise loudly. It means I don't get all the crappy wind sounds that you usually hear on videos, but does mean it sounds loud with exhaust noise. Yeah the smoke is quite common on these, especially when you give them a thrashing. Usually when I'm dropping down gears hard into corners.

@@SuggyRacing All the best fella 👍

@@Jaded-Wanderer Hi, no this isn't the tuned engine I've been doing, that's in a new bike that I'm building. This one is my race bike I built a few years ago, all standard spec. No Limits pulled me in for a Dyno straight after this race, I guess they were concerned this might not be a standard engine. Of course there were no surprises 😂 Eventually I'll get the tuned bike finished and dyno'd 😂 Just taking me time to get it all finished. 👍

@@SuggyRacing Cheers Suggy, I hope the remainder of the season goes really well for you!

Thank you, pretty much near the end now. I only managed a couple this year. Hopefully next year I can squeeze some more in 👍

@@Gruffaloscoot cheers mate, yeah it was good fun 😊

@@TammySugdon-r6e Yeah it was a good weekend, there's always some that fall. Luckily no one injured 👍

@@russelljones-d4h Hey, it's one of the lads who races the Cb500s, Grant Whitaker he's called. Here's his Facebook profile, contact him on there and he will sort you out. Makes absolutely loads for the bike. 👍 facebook.com/SeventyNineWizard

@@thedijon Hi. The front forks have standard springs in them, with a 130mm air gap and 20 weight fork oil. That is what majority tend to use for the front forks. For racing in the UK we can't use the pre load caps. But I did find them good on a track day. The rear shocks are Hagon and all they have is a heavier weight spring on them, that's it. Again, we can't modify them. All I do is run them on the most compression setting. There's also YSS shocks which you can use a heavy weight spring, and use a heavier weight oil. Which I'm going to try at some point. They are a fun little bike to have 👍

@@SuggyRacing Thanks so much! I suppose you don't really have much experience to know if it's worth it to do a full suspension upgrade then? Full upgrades get expensive quick of course

@thedijon You can definitely make it better. You could go all out if you wanted, with a custom cartridge kit. But yeah, it will get very expensive . You can also get better rear shocks with compression and rebound on it, but again it's just cost. Depends how much you have to spend. The fast lads who ride these bikes, have some serious lap times all with standard equipment. So a lot of it, is the rider if I'm honest. 😁

@@SuggyRacing I think you're right, and I think I should stick with a few small upgrades first and see how that feels. Front brakes are definitely #1. I'm gonna try to find that armstrong brake disc you had paired with the standard brake setup, do some lines, revise the cyljnders, and throw in some sintered pads I think

@@thedijon Yeah if you changed the to what I have, that will make a huge difference along with a smaller air gap. On track it works well, but on the road it's no good. Yeah brakes are good place to start, Armstrong disc is brilliant. The standard disc is terrible, it gets too hot on a track. Sintered or race sinter pads are good along with stainless lines. Get some good tyres too. We use Dunlop sportsmart TT. That's pretty much it really. We use flat bars instead of the standard ones, but that's just preference.
