Advise needed
05/19/11 at 10:36:05

So I'm ready to take the bike to the next level but first I need guidance. I already talk to lancer to get the stage 1 cams so that's is pretty much covered. Second, I want to go ahead and get the wiseco 97mm piston. I know I need to get the head bored and prep the piston as well before installing it, but what I don't know is if the only thing I need to get is the wiseco 97mm piston kit from the dr650 year 90-95? I have a 2006 savage. Thanks

Just bore the cylinder out to the clearances stated on the box of the piston kit and you're good to go.

I have seen a lot of settings for the sprockets and the how to. I will have to talk to some people about it to be really sure on what to get because I don't even know where to start.

if you're going that far in you may want to talk to lancer about the vm carb too. Im happy i did. I did the carb cam and overbore. Realistic shift point in 1st while stock was 20-25 and what seems now like an eternity to get to 60. Now Im doing 35 in 1st before shifting no problem. My 0-60 time is about 4-5 seconds. I also did the chain thing, and cast wheels. If you're in a hilly area just keep the belt. The stock ratio really is the best compromise in that situation. If you live somewhere thats relatively flat or if you do a lot of highway/interstate riding, chain is a relatively cheap way to make it a lot more comfortable for you and the bike. Me...I do a lot of twisties/hill climbs and racing from light to light.

I had major clutch slippage after my sup up. Had to go with a barnett clutch.
