Hi all glad to be a member of the forum. well I was a member a couple years ago but forgot my login info and old email so I renewed. Anyways I have a few questions about some performance mods that I want to do. I'll be coming into some cash and finally get to finish my bobber. It will probably never be finished as I'm always changing something. well here's what the plan is basically like this...
1 - Remove brass idle mix plug and tune to help backfiring/decel popping.
2 - Lancer jet kit/white spacer - tune the bike in stock form like it SHOULD be , not like the factory has it.
3 - Replace stock cannon muffler with something reasonable (Ie better flowing and better sounding) and repeat steps 1 and 2.
4 - Replace stock Air filter with somethign more free flowing to match the new muffler. Repeat steps 1 and 2
5 - Replace carb with Mikuni VM available most cost effectively from Lancer. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
6 - The real mods begin. At this point depending on what you HAVE to do to fix up your engine already you can go with a - overbore/wiseco piston, b - cam stage 1 or 2 available from Lancer, c - Both. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
7 - Minimal head porting with a dremel. Probably wont require a whole lot of jetting change if you keep the stock header but you ought to do it anyway. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
8 - At this point you've probably spent more tinkering than you have invested in the initial bike purchase. In for a penny, in for a pound. Replacing stock header with something more open. Gunna have to be a 1 off or $400 Raask system from sweden. Repeat steps 1 and 2
9 - By now you're pushing about 45-50Hp (vs stock 26-30HP) at the wheel and running 0-60 in about 4-5 seconds...maybe a bit less. You're already in for a pound. You're already making every puffed up midlife-crisis Harley rider in your area get real pissed when you smoke 'em. You've got few tried and reliable options at this point. If you went with a stage 1 cam in step 6 you can trade up for a stage 2. If you went with a 95mm wiseco piston you can trade up to a 97mm. You COULD, if your resourceful, patient, and maybe cash laden procure a slightly longer connecting rod which would even further up the compression ratio from your already hi-comp wiseco piston. If you're even more cash laden and/or resourceful you might do an honest to god stroke job. You could have a profession porting job done.
By this point you will have also replaced the stock clutch plates and springs with a barnett or OldFellers 6 plate method and are seriously cursing suzuki's stock cam chain set-up. You already know what you're doing now for the most part. We'll probably end up asking you questions as Lancer is the only member here who's gotten to #9.
*1-4 done on to 5-9. I plan to have the cylinder bored for a 97mm wiseco-discontinued
along with the carbide treatment. Install a stage 2 cam from webcam. Have the head polished and ported, intake and exhaust. Grab a Mikuni carb with ufo and dialAjet. Do the chain conversion 16/43. Upgrade to performance clutch and springs. And hmmm did I miss anything? Oh yeah, I know this is probably bass ackwards for the performance mods I'm doing but I'm also going to hard tail it to stretch the rear 4-5 inches and put a springer front end on it. Actually I believe the hard tail would be quicker on take off. But am willing to sacrifice any loss for that look. I basically want a crotchrocket killer. So here's my questions.
1. Can anyone tell me where to get a 97mm wiseco #4597MO9700? I have found one on lukesracing.com but for the clearance it states .003 for the 97, .002 for 96, and .??? for the 95. Am sure this should be .002 for 97mm.
2.Biggest MM Mikuni to fit my bike 36,38,40,bigger?
3.After all these performance mods what do I need to do to my cam chain like the tensioner or chain or anything?
4.Is there any performance valves like wiseco titanium or I think they're called kebblewhite or something? Does this make a difference?
5. Say I would like to get more comp. and find a longer connecting rod and do a stoke job can or has this been done? Being a squared cylinder 94mmx94mm. Any Ideas on where I might find one.
6. Which would be better dialAjet or thunderjet with the two areas for fuel entry.
7. Knife edged crankshaft, what do you think? Or is there anything else in the cases I can mess with to squeeze out more hp or get more throttle response?
8. Is there anything else I can do to get this beast to hit 0-60 in 3-4 seconds?
Well I'm sure I forgot something but that should do for now. I'm no mechanic at all, Clymers looks like rocket science to me, so sorry if I didn't call anything right or there's something I misunderstood most parts are a thingymajig to me. Thanks in advance for any help,advice or ideas you guys come up with.
