Re: Finally got the JE High Compression pistons put in

Re: Finally got the JE High Compression pistons put in

I see you've updated your spec already :lol:

Nice one man.

Few questions

Whats all the black stuff on your old piston? Carbon?

Is that in your lounge? I see carpet...... I would not get away with that if it is.

What special tools did you need?

Re: Exhaust, tell me why....

Just to add a little info gathered back in the dark ages.... Back in early '98 Dan Kyle did a back to back dyno run with the only change between the two was the first had the "restriction" in place and the second had the restriction removed. Same bike, same dyno, same day and the bike mad...

Re: Switching odo / trip km to miles?

My bike read in MPH but being more up to date here we are in KPH. :lol:

I just fitted a healer now 100 mph is 100 Kph. Easy calculation to do.

I dont care about my odometer as im never selling the bike.

Re: Exhaust, tell me why....

No don't remove the restriction in the righthand header pipe, Chris. They seem to disagree here, http://ozfirestorm.proboards.com/thread/1929/mod That link is not working, but I have seen it before. I have an idea, why don't you dyno your bike as it is now, then remove the restrictor and dyno it ag...

Re: Exhaust, tell me why....

So do Moriwaki and Akrapovic have restrictions in the LH pipe? Arrow has similar routing as Akrapovic, and pipes (cans) are made to have the same flow, see the X connection from front and rear near the sidestand. http://i57.tinypic.com/vqmgih.jpg Nice photo! Have you dragged the side stand? Very di...
