because it's just a clean up port job, not a full blown port job reshaping things. I have thought about cutting them down but would take a lot more time and have had good luck as is. Plus we use nitrous on everything. So when something breaks it my time and money to get back up and running. Hurt a head that has professionally cnc ported and there goes $1200+ in porting alone, not to mention milling, valve job, etc, etc. I can't swing dollar bills like that. I can do this at home with the porting kit in the garage in about 16 hours just in cleaning up the ports.
also just by looking that would be a lot of volume and we don't have big motors so the velocity would be more important I would think. All I can tell you is this works for us. If all I do is smooth and clean whats there I know I'm not going to f anything up. And I'm no small guy at 195 unsuited and my busa with the same style porting goes 8's on motor with stock bore and stroke.
got the head finished, should know what the bike runs in about 2 weeks. Hoping to see 8s on motor
looking good man![]()
finished up the srad 1000 motor last night. Went very smooth. From where I had the head milled I was able to drop the 750 intake cam in on the exhaust side without even having to press the sprockets on and off to degree them. We were doing this motor the old school way, no adj sprockets. Exhaust droppped in at 108. The intake cam had been off the sprocket before and I eye balled it pressing it back on, put it in and with the milling it dropped in at 106. Couldn't have gone any better than that. Checked piston to valve clearance and all was good, plenty of clearance, especially with ti valves. Glad we didn't use the thin head gasket because I could see that his pistons were either at 0 deck but looked to be negative deck by a couple thousandths. And the oem gasket is on .025". I also set the sprockets up with new notch marks so you could follow the service manual to put it back together and welded the cam sprockets.
Counter balance gear was also removed. We will be at the track friday and saturday so I will have some results then. Now I just have to get my stuff together.
Motor was fired last night and all is good, should have some numbers tomorrow
Went over for david to weld my cam sprocket up and listened to the bike run. Sounds a lot deeper and revs a loooooooooooooot faster. Sidewinder doesn't sound hollow anymore. Bike loaded up and we are going to track tomorrow.
yep my bike is strapped down in trailer. very anxious to see what it does. feels good so far. 1000 wheels looking good on bike. we will see. richmond dragway on fri night. vmp for bikefest on sat. pray for maybe not so hot weather. maybe even a 8 sec slip on motor. not bad for a 14 year old SRAD.
I have a 06 1000 with a 06 intake on the ex. know you guys have been talking 03/04 intakes. how well does the 06 intake on the ex work. JD do you know.
I know it will work, it is a big cam. Comes right at or is running off the cam bucket. I was going to try it in my nos 1000 this time, but with just having another baby and a 2 year old I just don't have time to "test" things. I think it is way to big for a stock motor.
best pass was a 9.19 so far. He couldn't get a great 60'. Went a 1.50 60' 5.92 @122 and 9.19 at 153 so the power is there. Just got to get the 60 down.
