interesting. i dont think this bike will increase in value like article states. i also think longevity will be negatively impacted over the miles, esp hard miles...

it's a fantastic bike no doubt.
 
i have 3 things on the list:

lightened flywheel

ti- con rods

balanced crank


not sure when though...

I have on my list:
Stage 3: Lighten, knife edge, polish and balance
Carrillo Rods
lightened flywheel
Titanium valves. with beryllium exhaust seats
And new gaskets to get the squish area where we want it.

hopefully the end of next year.
 
I'm still riding under 8,000 RPM a few up to 10,000 motor feels very strong revs quicker and the little torque the motor once has improved .
After this weekend I will be satisfied with run in process drop the oil head out to the track . I will do a few power runs on the dyno to see what sort of HP the bike picked up .
The few times I have opened up the throttle I have been impressed .

Your bike is a street/track or track only. You have to break it in for the first 600 miles again?

My bike is a race bike but I have put it back into street trim to do some miles .
The SL pistons are a two ring piston and I have replaced the sleeves as well so yes I am spending some time running the motor in .

Cool. Thanks for the information. I wonder what issues would a person run into if you just throw it right back on the track after a short (sub 600 miles) and an oil change. Maybe run the bike in on the track in Intermediate and keep it under 8000-10000rpms?

I planned on doing HW twins superbike, unlimited and maybe one more. But again, this is planned for the end of next year. We will see. Thanks for the heads up.
 
i did it last winter apart from the 2 ring pistons. put in en RS inlet camshaft and increased comp through thinner gasket... works a doddle in combo with the 300 mm pipe . still topped the powercurve at 11K so no real need to rev it higher, where lifespan get s shortened severely ( 4000 to 1400 km between revisions)

for those wishing to put in TI conrods, they shoudl have done it before august as prices have doubled to 5K usd ... :(

The shape and weight of the pistons are really quite different the standard piston .
 
If I lived in the first world, it's something I'd consider...I have trouble finding a place to mount tires here..lol.

That's who I was going to go with. Contacted him once and never heard back from him. I will try again though.

He's been traveling around with the EBR team in World Superbike, best bet with Ben is always over the winter, you'll rarely get anything out of him during the race season. But there's no one better that I know of to hop up a Ducati crank. He's done several of mine, and he even ported the heads on my Ninja 300! :eek:
