hill_19 Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 I got a 2000 with a single Dyno Port Pipe and Reed Spacers as the only mods. I am looking at buying a Cool head, with 21 cc domes, i live in the middle of Michigan. Anyone with a similar setup had good luck with this? also should i get the cylinders and pistons done also, or will i be fine with just the head?(for now at least ) I want to stick with pump gas too. Any info would be great, if you need some more from me, let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronco91shee Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 all i have is pipes and k/n, so im where u r. the info i found was to run 21's on pump gas to be safe. u can go lower, but it will cause problems. oh, i live by GR, so if u wanna ride sometime, look me up. ths is just from my own research. ask dlnoss, he makes heads. peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducman Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 With just pipes and an air filter you can get away with 20cc domes on 93 octane fuel, but if your jetted incorrectly (too lean) you could have a detonation problem on 93 octane. 21cc domes are safer with pump gas. The higher compression doesn't really give you much more HP, mainly torque. You can lug it a bit more and dont have to shift down quite as much. A lot of times when you are hill climbing instead of having to clutch it to get the tires spinning so it will go in the band when you are in a too tall of a gear you can just give it throttle and it will pull below the band at low rpm enough to accelerate you to the point where it will go into the band. Since it pulls harder on the low end it makes it feel like it goes into the band smoother so it isn't so light switchy going into the band, instead of feeling weak and then getting a huge burst of power. I niticed a bid difference in the engine staying cooler as well. I had a couple of steep hills that if you were riding hard and then climb to the top of the hill WOT the whole way up, you couldn't turn it off immediatly or you would get a wiff of coolant or even puke a bit out of the radiator. Afterwords this wasn't a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
