I took my flea flicker to a performance shop here in Tucson that has a yard full of superbikes, and a wall full of racing trophies and plaques. I talked with the guys about how I ride, and what I was looking to have done. They didn't sneer. They thought that it was cool. the dyno specs that Serowbot posts on this site are the ones that they ran when they finished relieving the head, doing a ring and valve job, and installing Lancer's chain and Verslagen's tensioner. (Serowbot did the carb work.)

Just for giggles, I went to the local stealership, and told them the work that I wanted done and got a price-almost $3000.

I'm brand new to the LS650 (but not bikes) so I'm trying to figure out what can be done with the engine. My searching here so far hasn't turned up what I'm looking for. I assume the LS650 has a lot in common with the DR650. There are high compression pistons, big bore kits, hot cams and pumper carbs available for that. Anyone know if this stuff works with the LS?

Travel kills ignorance.

The piston kits from wiseco will fit if you bore out the cylinder.
I imaging the carbs would work. But everything else is different.

Lancer's rex is one of the hottest bikes around...

With the large bore piston/cyl you get higher comp too; throw in the cam/carb kits and a really good flowing exhaust system (not the stock header) and a really good tuning job; expect 45hp+ at the rear wheel; not at the crank

If the exhaust ports in the head are opened then there is another boost
