Allright I got the motor all buttoned up on Sunday and left on Wednesday for sandlake, Or.
Just a reminder, we installed:
Dasa Exhaust
Dasa P&P head
Dasa Web Cams
Modquad K&N
KBR 13.75:1 Piston
Before this I was running stock exhaust (core removed), airbox lid off, and CRBM. All of my opinions will be based off of my previous setup.
During the install and initial startup we did seem to have a small problem though, the Dasa exhaust steps up so big in the midpipe that it was very close to my airbox and in the first few minutes started to melt my airbox. We modified the mounts to push it away from the box an added reflective tape to the airbox, and that fixed it unitil I can ritchen it up. It is probably running very lean due to only using the CRBM for fuel management, other than that the thing fired up fine. The idle had to be turned up 1/4 turn in order to satisfy the higher lift cams (it kept dying otherwise).
Now for the performance report. I would first like to say that the 6 paddle extremes that you guys all reccomended to me are no good for my setup up here in the Oregon dunes. All they did was spin the whole way up the hill. My gearing was also off, and I still could not launch my bike in second gear, even with a 13T front (I will be going up 2 or 3 teeth in rear shortly). So launching in first I was having to shift once more than the YFZ's and TRX's and trust me I could tell when I was shifting the extra time because they would be getting ahead of me as I was spinning and not hooking up ( I weigh 250 and had all my weight shifted to the rear). Now as I shifted into third and the tires started to hook up I could real in any bike I wanted too.
Overall I am very happy with the setup and the power is definitley everywhere on this bike. I gained 5 bike lengths up a very short hill. I just need to figure out the gearing/tire combo that will work for me. I also expect to get more power once I open the airbox up and add a controller to get the Air/Fuel mixture straightened out.
