Hi, just picked up my nsr! Was wondering if the headlight should have a cover over it?? At the moment its light is recessed in the fairing & the glass is flat & clear!!!
Cheers!!
welcome to the forum!
is that the MC18 off of ebay with the blown motor? check that engine that came with it, as i,m sure its not a 18 motor. i was looking at one of the other bidders history, the one that was bidding everyone up. and they lived in the same place as the seller, and had got a mc16 engine identical to the one in the pictures from benny2t off ebay
whats the bet the auction was bid up. that was a lot to pay for what you got, mine cost a couple of hundred less and all it needed was painting.

as jeff says the motor looks like its a 16 so will need a bit of work to fit in to the 18 so you might be better off repairing the 18 motor with the 16 parts.
Yup, Welcome. Always good to have another MC18 around. Afterall they are the best of the NSR range. Hope you get it running and maybe you can coem down to the Dyno shootout. _________________ If I have to take the carbs off once more...

thats what i was thinking did you have any joy with that fairing from the guy i put you on to? i got a complete rear end from him. not cheep but it does come with a magtec wheel and a good battle axe
Hi,yes it is the nsr off ebay! I realise that the spare motor is from an mc16,was hoping to fix the mc18 engine!!!! It turns over ok & has decent commpression on both cylinders! Havin fun at the mo just trying to get the motor out!!! Honda didnt give us any room to work on these,took me ages just to get the airbox off!!!!
Keep you posted!
Hi, given that i have a running mc16 engine i was wondering wat combinations i can use to get the bike running? Can i put the mc16 barrels on the mc18 bottom end? if so, can i put the mc18 pv's in the mc16 barrels? if not, i have the servo for the mc16 pv's so would they be "plug & play" with the mc18 loom? Finnaly the heads, mc18 or 16??
Thanks in advance,
mike
Hi nsr-wayne,
Was 2 cold over weekend 2 do much! Brrrrrrr! Was hoping to take barrels off with engine still in frame(me being lazy),but there doesnt cm 2 b enuff room 4 that. If its a bit warmer on weekend then i'll drop the motor to c wats wat!
Its supposed to av blown a piston!
The '18 is now up & runnin!!! It had blown the front piston. I have used the '16 barrels,heads & pv's......but i have 1 problem! 1 of the heads has a nackered thread for the spark plug(doh),is helicoiling the head a viable option? or do 1 of you have a nice cheap '16 head spare????
