All the same

Ahhh i am not so sure. I know someone that put a ninja rod into a GRP and it lasted all of about 3-4 mins before blowing the bottom bush.

Im sure, Rob Reade told me.

but GRP rods are stronger, as Ninja rods where notorius for having problems so GRP worked on there problem.
You can even fit a GRP tuned piston and liner straight into a NInja

Well the person who blew a rod up was Micheal Kerr. And i am pretty sure that rob told him the same. Either way i wouldnt risk it but thats just me i guess.

ohh ok, at the end of the day I would use GRP engine parts in Ninja but not the other way around.
When the GRP came out Rob told me the rod part numbers where the same but GRP are stronger.
We havent had any GRP failures yet apart from a gudgeon pin on my engine popping out at the end of the straight and ruining my piston and sleeve.

We all get some weird unexplained failures on the best of engines

GRP price bester !

I just switched to GRP engine, can anybody tell me what the size of the main bearing is? ...I want to change it to Ceramic bearings...

Thanks,
Mich.

14x25.4x6mm rear,7x19x6mm front.I put the tko ceramics in mine this week and man what a difference.I put the front in also.I had boca ceramic hybrid bearings in it and noticed no increase in performance.Changed those out after 1 gallon cause rear bearing went south.Also I am really starting to like the performance of this ninja.I was able to get a real nice tune out of it after putting those tko ceramics in it and it is keeping up with 700 dollar motors now.I might just get another one because of the price difference and have it modded.

Thanks for the measurements.

Last week I did my first club race with the engine and notice it's lacking some power at the bottom. Middle and high are ok. If there are any tips to get more bottom..let me know.

thx, Mich

Adjust the clutch and gearing for bottom end.You will still lack some bottom end compared to some 500+ plus motors coming out of the tight corners but it is not a whole bunch.You can play around with different size venturis.Keeping the engine reved up as much as possible to avoid getting in the low rpm torque curve will help the most.

Fellows:

I am going to replace the bearings for my ninja .12.

Before I order them, can someone post the exact measurements for both front and rear.

Thanks.

I think the rear is the same as the OS TZ

thanks I read that somewhere and how about the front bearing's size? Same as OS TZ?

I can't get in there and measure.

Hey guys,

What plugs are you using besides Ninja brand?

Thanks,
Cameron

any of the picco plugs will fit.
sirio plugs as well.

some tried OS and they fit too.

nova plugs dont fit at all.
