Zx12r sump mods

Couple of photos of my sump now it has been chopped by my cousin.. took two months for him to do but all it cost was a bottle of whisky!

got a windage plate as well and going to fit an accusump for good measure fitted directly to the oil gallery where the pressure switch is fitted.. this is quite large bore and on the right side of the pump. Rescued attachment P1010058.JPG

Sump looks almost identical to ours. Are you gonna fit baffle plates?

Hi George.

Hope it all goes ok.. as i said any problems give me a ring or e-mail... somtimes wish I had just kept the fazer as am not sure that this engine is the best.. have had a lot of problems with it.

Andy, before you bolt the sump back on, it's definitely worth checking that the mating face hasn't warped ever so slightly through the heat of welding.

How deep is your sump. I was going to do mine this weekend. Am I right in thinking that I have to cut it off just below the refenforcment ribs.

80mm from sump top face to cut.. When he welded it clamped it up to a flat surface but it has still distorted a fraction.. it has tightened up ok though

Ours bolted up OK at first but after a bit of use developed a small leak. To remedy, we removed the sump and used some grinding paste on a sheet of glass to grind the sump mating face flat. Took an hour or so to do but turned out great.

Carl, leave your kitchen window in. Just tell the missus you're trying to achieve the frosted look in true locost style (If she asks). You'll have loads of fun watching her trying to polish it out
