When removing the counterbalancer, are there any provisions to be made regarding oil flow? Does anything need to be plugged up? Do you need to add any additional oil to the motor since you have more space in the oil pan? Also what kind of hp increase will I get and how much will vibration increase?

Yes you must plug the oil galley in the shaft
No extra oil needed but you will have to drain the oil out to remove it
It depends on the crank if it viabrates more.

Good answer. I plugged mine with a carb needle and oil pressure is fine.

the reason suzuki put the balancer in was for secondary vibration,it was found it could crack the frame!!!!!!!!

maybe, but it looks more like a load v leverage problem to me.

It is my understanding that the counterbalancer when removed lightens the bike and gives it less internal rotating mass. But I never heard of a frame cracking. My '92 Katana 1100 had no counterbalancer and was a buzzer. Put my hand to sleep on long trips. My ZX11 had a single counterbalancer and was much smoother like the Hayabusa. The Blackbird with twin counterbalancers is the smoothest. You get nothing for nothing in this world...there's always a trade-off! See you Sunday out by Moroso.
