Oh well, maybe someone will reveal the potential of the 961 but I won't be around to witness it  ;D

Most important, we solved some of the low range issues with ignition timing and result was a very responsive engine with wide smooth torque and power band.
Rev limiter at 11500 was just right for this setup as power starts to come down slightly at around 11K.

Did you use a Yamaha part number cam or an aftermarket cam?

Stock Yamaha cams with adjustable sprockets. Nothing fancy and nothing aftermarket was used if you don't count carbs and cam chain.

911 and 961 were both basically built from recycled scrap metal  ;D

Don't sell it. Build a 961 and have a good time  ;D

   I really would like too pass it on for someone else to enjoy, but it simply is just so much fun to ride that I haven't felt any pressure to sell it. It's completely stock with the exception of a K&N stage 1 carb kit. If another one came along I'd definitely do the 961 conversion, like you mentioned before, it's all yamaha parts. But finding another example in any condition is a challenge, I believe there were about 5000 produced and sold in '85, so not many. Best part is, everything works, very common not to have a working gas gauge or kickstand safety switch. But I've got a relatively early '75 cb400f on the floor at the moment, just about done with the build up and getting ready to tear it all down and send it off to powder coat. So yeah,  priorities... Prices for bikes have come down a bit, (which is good) but by next spring they'll shoot right back up, big question will be, by how much.

Kinda funny. No one wants them around here so you  can pick up one for next to nothing and they were very common back in the day even though they were pricy.

There you go. Took a while to get it from the dyno guy. As you can see the torque is pretty smooth and wide so should be fairly easy to ride fast. We talked about the HP and after talking to several people, it seems we are pretty much even with the first gen R1 results and that's with a 1987 FZ 750 based mix and match stock parts engine. They should have built it like this in the first place  ;D

Late model engine is better if you want to build a 961, easier to add oil jets to spray oil under the pistons etc.
