Shingles if you are going to Bris for Dyno stop at Slacks Creek and have a chat to Fred at ProCycle Dyno, very professional and knowledgable. Not saying dont go to other shops but worth your time to talk with ProCycle

Hey men,
Any of you that have this kit installed using more oil than usuall??
Was reading some info tonight, and one bloke said he was using a qrt per thousand Kay's.
Then another dude stated that most of the time the dealers don't check the cylinders for round, and most times the cylinders are not round out of the box and should be bored first, anyone know anything about this???

Cheers
Rans

Hey rans I've got 3 mates with this kit and 2 of em are using heaps of oil. I don't have
Much more info for ya but one mate is looking into it as he is not happy.
Will fill ya in when I know more. So far mine is good but only time will tell

Common issue with the SE upgrade kits

I got a mate that didn't know it used oil until we were a days ride from the bigsmoke and he needed oil, and the local servo didn't have any

yes tapered bores and not bedding the rings in correctly does it every time

Common issue..... Fuck me... Don't these blokes have some come back Ando ??
Who hands over their hard earned for that fuck up?????
Can't they just bore them before fitting??? What are the dealers saying to these blokes????
Glad I found out about this before I handed over my coin....

Rans

So ando does that problem include stock barrles? cause my
build used the stock barrels as it is 103 stock and hoping
for that reason I might be excluded from the problem.

Chriso, If your bike didn't use oil then you should be all good, But I would of done a compression and leak down test before I changed.
wouldn't hurt to do them anyway

Back when I did a 103 kit I had bores measured up for roundness first and mine where good, but like I saida 100 times there is better 103 kits on the market than the SE kits.

I am in the proccess of putting some domed pistons in my 120r and my local Stealer has recommended an oversize piston so I can machine bores and machine out the Taper or outa roundness

Thanks mate I have been away for a mth so have not had chance to put ks on it since first service
but I will keep a close eye on it now.
Fuck man that thing of yours will go like the clappers

what kit would recommend Ando

Just a FIFO Bogan

Yep you nailed it shingles , well explained. That's exactly how I feel about mine, cept for the pipes comment

FUCKEN GOOD FUN

Hey shingles, are you running the 259e cams?? And do the heads from the engine kit have the screamin eagle logo on the side of them?? Thanks in advance man.

Rans

Ill answer for him Rans  no screaming eagle logos anymore for the new stage 4s and yes they are the 259es. Like me shingles has recently had the kit put in and the new ones dont use the 260 anymore.

 

what utter bullshit from shingles

yeah he obviosly enjoys himself but i can support the wheel spinning stuff. i dont do it all the time but its easy to do off the lights on these things
My bike is also very unhappy at 120 in 6th.
