I think the big thing is not running a spacer plate. It more that the spacer plate creates two mating surfaces that could lead to an air leak then one surface.

I will play along RU. What reason do you have for wanting to run the 513 piston with the 115 rod? I remember back in the mid 90's yamaha decided to run a longer rod and a spacer plate on the 250's. If I remember right it helped the powerband quite a bit.

Kick ass setup. I just installed the same setup this fall

That really blows. I had my dirt bike stolen awhile back also. Thankfully the homeowners covered it and the upgrades I had done. I make sure to keep receipts and pics of everything.

Oh Damn. That sucks. Was it in a shed or garage/workshop? If it was stolen out of a permanent building it should be covered by your parents homeowners insurance

Do you have a dyno chart of your cheetah?

Also, the .059 base gasket seems really high. It might be throwing your port timing off just a bit. What kind of deck height do you have with the .059 base gasket

For shits and giggles I would try 93 octane pump gas and see of what it does. You might be way over octane with the 110. Maybe at most 100 octane

What size domes are you running? How much compression? Who cut the domes? What is your squish? I'm sure you checked but are the block offs matched to your exhaust port? What is your timing set at? Your leak down is all good?

Do you know what brand the crank is?

Are you running Airstrikers?

Might be better off measuring your k&n filter and going to twin air for your filter. They have a bunch of clamp on filters to choose from

Wouldn't hurt to give them a call and see what it would cost

Another option he has is to sell both sets and buy a brand new set from whoever he wants and have them setup exactly like he wants

Sort of. They can change them around and upgrade them. I'm pretty sure you can add rezzies, different adjustments, stuff like that. I'm sure it's not cheap but it's an option.

You do have the option of having elka change the shocks to what you want. I don't know what it cost to have them upgraded but I'm almost positive that is an option with the elkas

The reason for draining the coolant is to rotate or flip around the lower radiator hose so it clears the pipes.

Possum, probably want 23-24cc domes for pump on stroker.

I had a set of t6s on my bike with the kit. I did not use the filter they gave me. I had a twin air filter kit installed. I did use the jet kit and the air box hole kit. I ended up having to go to a much bigger main then what was included. I will say that the t6s with a timing plate set at +4 and a head with 20cc domes was a fun ride.

Special, that pic is with the aftermarket tire sitting in front of the stock tire.

If it idles and starts easy, your pilot is good. Look at what size pilot you have and check what clip postion is on your needle.

Tors still hooked up?

You should see on the solder where it is squished then stops. Measure from the end of the solder to where the squish stops. Should be about 10~12mm. The best way though is to actually take the head off and measure it. Also. Measure the thickness of the squish where it meets the cylinder and where it stops. The end closest tto the cylinder should be thinner then where the squish stops.

Honestly, i dont know what is good for squish for alky. You should measure how wide the band is also.
