FRAME SLIDERS
Frame sliders
are designed to take the brunt of the damage when your bike goes
down. Helping to save expensive body work, engine cases, etc.
These sliders
feature replaceable Delrin covers that are designed to take most
of the punishment, and then can easily be replaced.
These are serious
sliders with hardened bolts designed for the most demanding racer.
Yet they are equally at home on that street bike offering it
added protection as well as the track racer look.

GSXR1000
PROGRESSIVE CLUTCH
The GSXR1000
clutch is a multi stage lock up . Used primarly for drag racing,
and other very high horsepower applications. The faster the rear
wheel turns, the more lock up pressure is applied to the pressure
plate.
Each arm on the
lock up device represents one stage of lock-up adjustment. Arms
are controlled by stall spring, thus allowing the mechanic flexibility
in determing the RPM each finger will start applying clutch pressure.
In addition, an arm can be ajusted to release clutch pressure
at maximum rated torque your engine produces, thus keeping your
motor at maximum efficiency with each gear change.

New from APE ...
An outboard starter plate and nut kit for the Suzuki Hayabusa.
This kit is designed for drag racing busas that are using Lectron
carbs and a Dyna ignition on the right side of the motor.
(click to enlarge)
Up until now, the Hayabusa
engine was limited as to how much static compression you could
put in it, as it had to use the factory electric starter, a weak
point in an otherwise great engine.
Because APE is the leading
manufacturer of starter plate kits for drag bikes, some of the
top engine builders had asked us to do one for the busa.
The first pre-production units have been tested on high compression
motors by a top
busa engine builder, and work flawlessly.
The busa starter plate
is fully CNC machined and has an O-ring behind the seal holder
so that, like all other APE plates, there is no oil leaks of
any kind. It comes with a heat treated steel nut that fits all
common starters.
Production units are being
manufactured and will ship shortly.

Valve springs
for the Kawasaki ZX12.
APE , a leading
supplier of high performance valve springs, now offers a Valve
springs for the Kawasaki ZX12.
The APE spring is made
from special chrome silicon material and installs in the motor
at 55 lbs seat pressure. Travel to coil bind is .570". This
allows the use of cams up to .520 lift.
For comparison, the oem
spring has 35 lbs of seat pressure, and will 'coil bind' at .410"
which would limit cam lift to about .360". The extreme progressive
design of the oem springs does not allow it to respond to shimming
for more pressure.
*The APE springs are a
direct fit with oem bases and retainers.
*APE fully CNCed titanium valve spring retainers are also available.
*APE valve springs and titanium retainers are available for a
wide variety of applications from street hot rods to NHRA pro
stock.
Available from all leading
distributors, or direct from APE.

APE announces
the availability of its new left side motor plate for the GS
model Suzukis.
This new plate incorporates
the APE exclusive outer crankshaft support bearing. This feature
has become very popular in our starter plates as a way to prolong
the life of expensive racing
crankshafts. It
holds the end of the crankshaft perfectly concentic no matter
how much RPM the engine turns.
Until now, this feature
was only available in the APE stand alone starter plate kit.
Customers that wanted to utilize a complete motor plate that
also has a countershaft support bearing had to do without the
crank support.
APE has combined the best
of both worlds with this new motor plate. A countershaft support
bearing is incorporated along with the crank support bearing
now in one package.
As with our starter plates,
this motor plate features an O-ring and seal behind the crank
bearing for complete no leak operation. As with all APE starter
plates, this new plate is completely CNC machined for perfect
fit.
Available for large or
small Suzuki crank ends. The countershaft bearing accepts offset
sprockets with a 45 mm nose. ( also available from APE)
Available from all leading
race parts distributors, or direct from APE.

precise valve to seat seal for maximum power.
Manufactured from the finest
bronze alloy designed for extreme wear resistance. These guides
feature a step shoulder to locate the guide in the head to the
proper depth to clear even the most extreme pro stock type camshafts lifts.
These guides will also

New from APE for
the Suzuki Hayabusa.
Heat treated chrome moly
main bearing studs. These studs feature rolled threads, centerless
ground surfaces, and come with competition style twelve point
flange nuts. As racing's leading supplier of heavy duty engine
stud kits, APE already has their very popular top end cylinder
studs for the big Suzuki, and now turned their attention to the
bottom end. By replacing the bottom end bolts with heavy duty
studs, it helps minimize the chances of high output engines trying
to separate the engine cases at the crank center line resulting
in oil pressure loss and possible engine bearing failure.
Hot rodders have already
pushed the power of these engines to over twice what the factory
intended. As with all engines with this power output, heavy duty
fasteners are mandatory to hold them together.
The part number
is MBS1300GSX

APE
introduces the all new high volume oil pump gear for the Suzuki
Hayabusa.
It is no secret in the
racing community that Suzuki's monster super bike has a problem
with low oil pressure. This usually shows itself in the form
of connecting rod bearing damage.
This new gear is a direct
bolt in replacement for the OEM oil pump gear. This gear causes
the pump to turn at faster speeds which increases oil volume
and thus pressure.
Initial testing revealed
the following improvements on the test bike; 3000 RPM, 32 psi
with stock gear - 52 psi with high volume gear. 6000 RPM, 72
psi stock - 90 psi HV gear.
This item will be a must-have
for all Hayabusas that are subject to high performance type riding.
