Author Message   Georgehitch17 Posted on Monday, August 08, 2011 - 10:10 am:        Hey guys I am currently at 9500 miles on my 25R I just purchased my pipe and new ecm and was curious if anyone has done a little motor work while doing the valve check? for example cams, higher compression, port and polish anything along those lines. If you have I would be interested in hearing how it turned out. posts are appreciated!   Rodrob Posted on Monday, August 08, 2011 - 12:49 pm:        What year?   Georgehitch17 Posted on Monday, August 08, 2011 - 02:17 pm:        2009   Budgolf Posted on Monday, August 08, 2011 - 02:46 pm:        http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/158 664/626675.html?1302618326 There you go.   Georgehitch17 Posted on Monday, August 08, 2011 - 06:15 pm:        Now that is awesome!!! I cant believe I missed this thread!   Brumbear Posted on Monday, August 08, 2011 - 06:31 pm:        Keep in mind Mikes bike is a 1/4 miler I wouldn't necessarily do all that and expect long runs on the highway it might not be the best running flat out for 10 miles if you know what I mean. But man OH man is that machine gonna be sweet when it's done!!!!!!   Georgehitch17 Posted on Monday, August 08, 2011 - 06:34 pm:        Hmmm good point! Thats very important because there are times when im triple digits for over 10 miles... I think aerodynamics is hurting me more than lack of power.   Jdugger Posted on Monday, August 08, 2011 - 06:39 pm:        You can deck the heads and bump the compression. I think .020 is the common cut, with a pretty big bump in compression.   Georgehitch17 Posted on Monday, August 08, 2011 - 06:47 pm:        Thats what I had in mind, any idea how my reliability would be? Also wondering what kind of compression I can get up to with pump gas?   Jdugger Posted on Monday, August 08, 2011 - 07:15 pm:        > any idea how my reliability would be? Rumor is it's very, very good. I've had some issues, but I think they were mostly my fault and wouldn't necessarily be the same for others. Mine is at 14.5:1, and it will run 93, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't really like it. So, maybe deck it a bit less? You might talk to Erik Buell Racing about having your motor built to "DSB-Spec".
