took my stock motor out and had it stripped down to have it checked out and refreshed by a great buell tech in uk .this motor had done 2800 miles on the black stuff so had had a good beating ,i change the oil a lot and plugs apart from that nothing i also run it on uk pump super unleaded .i spoke to Michael at EBR about parts and went for the new water pump cover and clutch piston up grade kit ,race rod bolts ,new 5th gear up date clutch baskets and valve springs as a start i would order other stuff after it was taken apart .The motor has aways run twinmotorcycles fuel maps not the same one as different changes were done over the years and a don't run a air fillter.after dropping the motor off it was not long till i got a phone call one of the shimes had come out and the top hat that holds the valve had cracked ,no damage but very lucky and after the whole strip down that was the only thing found and ordering new top hats and collets for the valves to be on the safe side the motor was put back together even putting back the factory clutch back in from new .The pistons and heads were all clean no decoke needed so the fueling was spot on so thanks to Dris at twinmotorcycles ,Michael at EBR for parts and advice and Johnathan at Black Bear Newmarket for the rebuild .This motor is my spare now and what a great one its been all that 2800 full on drag miles and few new parts to refresh it most of them up dates . just waiting for the big guns motor from twinmotorcycles which its being done as we speak | ||

I just got mine back as well and it sounds like we got the same work done - did you get your ECM reflashed? Michael recommended I didn't need it (Pump Gas Race ECM) for the 100 octane go-juice I'm running. (good luck on the coming season) | ||

Jeff, You might be able to run 93 up there in that thin air. Mine would detonate on 93. Runs like a freight train on GTX260 (100). You might see some marginal benefit in having it tuned locally. I did. She makes a whole different set of noises now, eh? | ||

JD - Dunno: it's like being kinda pregnant. Motor's on the stand sitting on my garage floor. I need to insulate the frame, drill bolts for safety wire, blah blah... Hope to have it back in frame by end of weekend, then go to work on the forks. Problem is, it's cold in these parts and since I don't have a heated garage or run anti-freeze, I may not be able fire the beast up until March when I'm thinking of heading down to Pahrump, NV. I know I sound like a whiny bitch but I don't like draining the cooling system any more than I have to - there are solutions to this problem, but most require effort on my part. (Can't wait to hear it sing, though) - Joe: got yours back in and running yet? And you're running sidewinder pipes, yes? -and yeah, I may be able to run 93 juice, but they make the stuff right up the road and I can get Sunoco 100 octane for about $6/gallon. Spec fuel is around $10/gal. (Message edited by Stirz007 on January 10, 2012) |
