2333 gets a 1060

[2333]

Hi all I just got done doing the 6% overbore kit with the 13;1 pistons from Ken. Taking it easy so far, and the spyder is still learning the new equipment, but I remain hopeful it will line out and make the investment worth while. I am starting to feel, however, that I may be in the market for a Commander when they get sorted out. With the 13:1s and a ceramic coated exhaust and the Leo Vince exhaust baffle less, it does have a nice bark to it.

Cool stuff-- please keep us posted!

Did you do anything other than the pistons? Camshafts for instance? We're camshafts an option? I hate asking about $$$ but was it expensive to do? I'm asking a lot of questions because I might be interested in doing something like this in the future. The turbo is way too expensive and I personally don't like the look of the turbo exposed and the black exhaust. I would like to find at least 20 reliable horsepower somewhere

It was kind of expensive, but remember the old phrase;speed costs money, how fast do you want to go? I don't have a figure for the engine work alone, because the engine hard parts were just a few of the things I accumulated as part of the stuff I did over the winter. I also got new cylinders so I could keep my originals, bought and had ceramic coated an entire exhaust system, had the rear taillights shaved......it's hard to pick out just what the engine parts cost. I would recommend anyone looking to do this to call Ken at Evoluzione. Yes, cams, head work, and larger valves are an option, but with no ( at the time at least ) tuning options we decided that I would be entering "No mans' land" as far as tuning goes so I left the heads stock ..........for now.

How about a pic of the shaved lights? How much extra HP do you guestimate?

I meant to say turn signals, sorry. I have been playing around with fuel pressure in an attempt to tune for the new pistons and bore. Twice now after a ride of some length and shutting the bike off for a short while, the engine tried to start and then did not. After turning off the key and saying a little prayer (one time the wife was with me!) the bike started and entered limp mode. After speaking with Ken, we decided to throw a new battery in the bike and see what happens. I did that yesterday, but now the computer for engine mamagement is back to it's baseline settings, so I will have to put a few heat cycles on her to see if the battery was the problem. I hope.

With 13:1 compression, what fuel are you running now?

[2333]

BP 93. I can get 105 near me, but not everywhere I go, so staying with a readily available octane rating.
