$K2 Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hey fellas... I have a problem and I am not really sure what to do.. If this is in the wrong forum, please move it for me. I figured it would get more attention here as it seems there are alot of peeps here that know their shit.. As some of you know, my Shee is getting torn down and I plan on doing some pretty cool shit to her.. The mods that are on the bike when I purchased it are as follows.. FMF Fatties and PC2's, K & N's with Prechargers, Jetted to 210 or 220, not sure.. Now I know I am going to do this for sure.. I am going to get the frame and other shit Powderchromed, new seat cover(black), new black plastic as found on fleabay, lightened flywheel, +2 swingarm, +4 timing key. I have been reading a boatload about engine mods. and I know for sure I dont want to go the stroker route.. What else can I do that will give me some nice all-around gains and wont break my bank.. I can deal with getting new carbs as they are on my wish list.. I can also send away the engine to some respected peeps too that isnt a prob. I would really like to get as many options as possible! Thanks alot fellas I really appreciate it... K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks alot fellas I really appreciate it... K Well, to be honest, for new carbs (unless they are the same stock size) to breathe to their full potential you'd need some porting. I went with a mild port, but I'm sure if I stepped up to a definitive "MX" port from Passion for example, I'd notice a lot more than I have now. Basically I went with a clean up port, and cleaned up the transfers. I also slapped in some Boyesen 2 stage reeds in stock unported cages, along with the head being shaved, flywheel lightened and timing advanced. The 2:1 really woke up my motor as well. That stock box is a POS. Somethings you might consider for all around gains that won't leave you mowing lawns for gas money: Clean up port job Any type of after market filter Flywheel, and head mods Ported stock reed cages Aftermarket reeds Possibly have your stock carbs bored out. You can only bore them to just under the diameter of the slide, so there isn't alot there, but I've heard there is a difference. Lighten up.....increase your horsepower to weight ratio. So far I've shaved or other wise removed or replaced with billet enough items to add up to around 10-15lbs or so. Maybe even more. I used to have all the tabs I cut off saved to weigh later, but then I figured that I was a little too uptight. I replaced the stock rims with Douglas. Got rid of the front bumper for now. Billet grab bar instead of steel. Billet pegs instead of steel. If it didn't cost so damn much to get welded I'd even fabricate aluminum swingarms, but its cost prohibitive unless you don't care. For now, I care LOL. I'll also soon be making light weight chromo steering stems. If you are handy at welding, perhaps section out parts of the frame for a thinner wall chromoly tubing. Not positive of the wall thicknesses available for any given diameter however, my book is at the shop. But its 2x the tensile strength as mild steel, so you only need 1/2 as much. Go by cross sectional area, not diametrical differences. If I think up more I'll post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$K2 Posted June 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Thanks bro I appreciate it.. I will be geting a +2 swingarm setup from ya really soon.. I think +4 is too much for me and my desert riding.. I will do sand once a year on Thanksgiving.. I was looking at Passions Polish and Port too.. I hear so many great things about them..
