That's a good start. 8K into your bike and you'll be plenty happy. I've never heard of led performance for your porting(if they port your bike, make sure they know you are going to run a 4mil crank). I would highly recommend a site sponsor on here to do work like that. I have been very very happy with my Wildcard Racing ported 350. Some other small things I would do while everything is apart: Modded shift star, shift shaft etc. Idler gear bushing, Chariot water impeller, and I'm a fan of the Mull Billet water pump gear as well. Just a few small parts to consider if you are going to pull the clutch cover during your build. Good luck and keep us posted on your build. I wouldn't mind checking out what ideas you have for frame lightening as well Quote
BigRed350x Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 I would use a site sponsor for the porting. Give kevin at HJR a call. He can get all the parts you need and does top-notch work. Quote

willardwright59 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Posted November 17, 2011 man first thing id do is send the cylinders back to yamaha and get an aftermarket topend...... maybe cub or serval depending on what your looking for ? goodluck i got the cylinders because when i wanted to spend 500$ to get them ported a year ago, my dad wanted to save money and had his friend at a macihine shop "trail port" them for free, which i really dont think he did, because all he did was knife edge the intake and two ports on the bottom of the cylinders. i really want it done right this time now that i have the money. im looking to make the most power with the stock bore because i will be riding it on trails once and a while, but its mostly going to be a drag racer in my fields. always racing the big 4 stroke atvs and bikes, only problem is a quadzilla, ima mod the hell outa my banshee to make it king around my woods.

willardwright59 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Posted November 17, 2011 if you plan on doing some drags with it and little trail Get an aggresive mid-top style porting. such as a dune style. you will get nice mid top out of it but still be fine for trail riding with ease. get more aggressive mid top pipes then those PC's. have the cyls port matched to the pipes and have your cases port matched to the cyls. also Look into getting an adjustable timing plate. set it at +4 i have a pro design timing plate and its set to +4 now i believe or +5. im thinking im going to have F.A.S.T do a play/dune port, case porting, and if needed get my 4mil trued and welded, already have the wiseco pistons and gaskets on the way, and getting ready to send out my cylinders, cases and head to be done. for suspension, im not 100% yet, but im pretty sure itll be fox. im taking my frame to S.F.P.C TODAY!!!!!!! ordered new holeshot rims and xct tires, looking to have it all by monday so i can begin building this beast. gives me enough time to get some grains in the barn for some extra $$$$$$. i measured the frame and am going to cut a full frame skid plate out with the plasma now Quote
Jereme6655 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 pancake bearing, HD clutch springs, flex bars, tether switch, aftermarket headlights, stearing stabilizer....... none of these are essential for the build your doing......but they WILL make your bike more enjoyable to ride Quote
firebanshee Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 I would run a duneable override also. Just having an override can add 3 or 4 bike lenghts in a race. Quote
willardwright59 Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Posted November 21, 2011 Ok what i did with my motor so far while im waiting for my frame. I got it ported with a dune/play port, i put a hinson clutch in it with heavy duty springs, (dad would.t let me do an override for some reason?) I got my 4mil in and all new seals, and gaskets, im running a 19cc dome with my coolhead, i have a pro design water impeller, i did the modded shift star, and got my cylinderz coated yellow to match my frame, i made a skid plate N nerf bars out of aluminum, i used some old mods too like my vforce3 reeds, cross over tube and timing plate is still 4, with lightened flywheel.
