Exhaust Port Height?

[streetshee]

i did a mild home port job,not sure if it was a good idea,i think my exhaust ports might be a little high now,they measure 28.3mm from top of port to top of cylinder,head skimmed,stock pipes,whatya tink? what gas should i be using? and what plugs? i was runnin standard plugs and think i should be runnin the 9`s? just that i melted a piston,the top was nearly complete through,and was melted down to the rings on the exhaust side,hope someone can help me here. thanks ohhh forgot,my elevation is about 7-800 meters.

Your ex. port height is not too tall, but you need to lose the stock pipes or it will probably be a really narrow,peaky powerband..As for you fuel, not much info was included on your head situation so I really cant comment there. 8's should be fine if everything else checks out good....Jim

hi there,well its difficult here in germany to put different pipes on her,if i do then my street tax,insurance and the licence is void,the cops are hot over here on the quads,im thinking of buying some t 5 pipes cos they come in black and are sort of stock looking,apart from the noise,but i can hush the cans a bit,the fmf and pro circuits have a big logo pressed into em,that would mean an instant 3,ooo euro fine!! anyway my gas, pump gas with 95 octane (sometimes 98) but now theres this new 100 octane shell stuff,my boss tells me that the gas we get over here is a different quality to what u get over the pond,do u know anything about this?as for my jetting,was standard(idiot,i went for one quick spin before i was gonna go to my workshop and change the jets and then shee died!!!) thanks passion,im very privaliged for your answer ( ohhh ive gone week at the knees!) sorry i forgot my head is shaved -27 or 28 (i forgot how much my boss did!) id forget me head if it was loose!

that would mean an instant 3,ooo euro fine!!

 

Holy shit!!!!!!!!! The cops sure aint joking around in your neck of the woods.

[streetshee]

oooohhhhh yep,there nice,in black they would look a little less obvious i think,do they sound like a baked bean tin like the fmfs,cos they dont impress me,on my rd 400 i had some swarbrick race pipes(hand made) sounded wickid,very solid and "throaty" sound,not at all like a bean tin

[streetshee]

yeh,get this, my shee is supposed to be restricted to 15kw,thats about 20hp the gas screw has to be screwed in 12mm,no motor tuning or performance mods allowed,you cant even have a twist gas,but i have and ive installed a dummy gas screw at 12mm,doesnt do anything but none of the cops know the shees not allowed a twistgas,ive fooled a few pigs with it so far,no way will i ride a 20hp shee,fcuk da system,long live open power shees on the streets of bayern!

yeh,get this, my shee is supposed to be restricted to 15kw,thats about 20hp

 

Now that sucks big time,even a 400ex has more hp than that.You guys sure have some very serious regulations over there.

[FORMULASPEED]

20 hp you would get ran the f*ck over, here in the U.S. Probly by a Ford Focus !!!
