Ninja 600 motor on mower?
« on: June 23, 2014, 07:25:28 pm »
Ive got a motor off a wrecked ninja 600 thats in perfect shape. I want to put it on a mower to race at the local dirt track and drag strip. I planned on running a go cart style live axle. I would like to find a way to run the motor cycles brakes. Any advice or suggestions?

If you have the know how and ingenuity to put a motorcycle motor in a mower I'm sure you can figure out how to attach the brakes to it.

Yea im comfident i can but one main concern is what axle will hold up to that kind of power. On dirt im not that concerned but on asphault if it ever did hook it would twist an ordinary axle like a noodle.

I've seen snowmobile motors on mowers and the axles held up pretty good, I think it would hold up pretty good if you built the frame up good around where you mounted it I don't think you would twist a steel axle. But go for it and post some pics of your progress
