Anyhow, I continued all shaving around bike, and painted. Now I have dove into the performance jacking stage. Since the bike was free investment was a no brainer. What ever I spend is the cost of bike. I aquired a complete 98 yzf 600r, free from a friend due to a wreck. So Im working that motor for retrofit, but am going to bore, port, polish, clean, etc. Before I drop in bike. Now that requires more time and money than I care to use NOW. So I want to jack up my stock engine.
So far I removed the headers and exhaust from yzf and switched... Sounds and runs good... Good idea?
Bench synced the carbs, which made a hell of a difference, now just need dynamic sync. But I had looked into putting in the yzf carbs since they are larger and porting boots and all to increase top. So I had the bright idea to try to carve old boots temporarily to fit larger carbs as to see if it mattered for a swap. And this proved bad, cause carbs weren't working, and got frustrated and went to put old carbs in, but now boots were carved out and wouldn't get a seal and kept slipping off. So I did something I've never heard or seen anyone talk about on the forums and jammed a 1 1/4" X 5" copper pipe into each boot and tightened with new clamps lower on boot, and essentially raised the carbs 5" and put pod filters and a "hood" scoop. Now this not only temporarily solved my air leak issue from boots, but gave the bike a lot more acceleration. Not to mention noise, which I feel louder is better. Now is this a good move any comments...
Any other upgrades anyone knows of in the performance class I'd love to know. Any with yzf swaps.
Also, I checked my compression yesterday, and cylinders 1,3,4 all at 90#, but when pumping up cylinder 2 it slows intake on pressure on second rev, at about 60, and maxes at 75ish on forth rev. What's the problem?
Well I have tons more advice and question answering, although will leave for next post. Any and all help advice will be heard and appriciated thank you
