Its time

<< < (2/3) > >>

stewart:
theres nothing wrong with the   fmf pipes or silencer  good stuff   it was just   down on power a little bit  which may not be a bad thing for many types of riding

cbr600f31997:
ok guys thanks for the input. will a long silencer make my bike not as loud as the kx 250 6" silencer its got now or not realy any change?

cbr600f31997:
I was looking in my exhaust port and messing with stuff and i noticed that my kpis closes on one side when you open the outher is that normal or did the guy who had the bike before me put something together wrong? also what is head bolt torque? thanks for all the help and input.

BDI:
If the valves are not opening and closing at the same that's bad. when the two virtical/rotory valves are both open the center flapper valve is up.

Good:
This is the way I see things.

Jetting- essential first step
PC Platinum 2 pipe made 3 hp more at 7000rpm than others with
V-Force 2 reeds
Bolt mod for KIPS system (system working properly)

Then eventually:
re-plate if it needs it
custom head
port job
window mod for piston
Possibly crank stuffer (great idea, but unproven as yet I think?)
Service Kawasaki AF conversion  :evil:

Things I'm unsure about:
which carb is best.  I ride on the pipe and rarely tractor around.  I like straight line drags, and balls out down washes, etc.  Which carb would be best for me?  I like HorsePower. :-D
