Moderator drewpy Posted February 24, 2014 Moderator Share Posted February 24, 2014 So a pod with a wrap would get it closer to stock but the unmodified airbox is still superior for full range air intake, correct?

feliks Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I think I may have some extra covers but they're not in good shape, ebay has a few I've seen kickin' around for pretty cheap I'd check em out there. Definitely pick those up, better to damage them instead of the stuff they protect in case of a crash! I see you've already got your airbox on order, and good, because I don't have an extra one of those! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcube_04 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Feliks, or anyone else lol, have you rebuild the cylinder head on one of these? I have the clymer pdf manual I'd just like to get a real world perspective of it Sent from my C5155 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feliks Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Yeah just look through my build thread, those pictures will be worth 1000 words! I did a complete top end rebuild over the winter, never done one before...and got it done in a month, successfully! I'll check the condition of the cases I've got... one has bondo on it though (was NOT me who did that!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcube_04 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Lol on the bondo, I'll pour over it some, thank you all for bearing with me. Sent from my C5155 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcube_04 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Found it, wow you've done a lot of nice work on that! I can't decide on a good color for my engine, I'm. thinking white, red,, or black, of course the crankcase will be black because I'm not removing that piece...

Sent from my C5155 using Tapatalk Yep, I spent a couple of grand tuning a 600 suzuki, made over 100hp at the back wheel. Thats 30hp and an extra 2500rpm They changed loads, cams, carbs (even different jets between carbs), timing gears, exhaust (TTS, very good people) what do you think they left well alone. Yep the airbox, changed the filter in it. But they will only remove the airbox with direct instruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcube_04 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Interesting...I wonder if cars are constructed differently from motorcycles or if c.a.I s are just a big scam Sent from my C5155 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feliks Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Make sure when you reattach the petcock to the gas tank to not tighten it too much, or you'll squish the o-ring and compromise the seal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzresurection Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The squishing of the o-ring provides the seal. Just have to make sure that the o-ring stays in the groove or you'll damage the o-ring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcube_04 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Will keep that in mind my computer is on the fritz so my manual is down for the moment . I am draining the fuel now, painted the headers today with barbecue paint, don't worry I will be posting pictures of all of this in a build thread when it's out of the " workshop" Sent from my C5155 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcube_04 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Gaskets came in yesterday....for a Harley Davidson. S.O.B.s. Dont order a complete engine gasket kit from JCWhitney. They will try to sell it to you as a "Universal" motorcycle part. I ordered it over the phone, so I thought the gal was looking up a gasket kit specific to my bike. I even specified that I needed one specific to my bike. What a joke....new gaskets on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcube_04 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Another question....what are the stock jet sizes for this bike? Ive got a 38 pilot and 130 main.....That seems big..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feliks Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Jet sizes are under the specifications section in the manual. If you're going to be doing all this work on your bike you need to pick up a copy! 30 pilot jet 107.5 main jet 140 main air jet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
