lastlegwarrior Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 i was just bored and i figured i'm gonna have the thing apart anyway might as well do something productive, i know i could take it somewhere and get it ported but i'm not really looking for that kind of power yet. So i was just wondering with a dremel and a little time, would i be able to clean up ports a little? Also if anyone has done this before some good tips or ideas would be great. thanks. Quote
slowpokebanshee Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 I am also interested (bump) Quote
BigRed350x Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 (edited) I did all my own port work on one of my bikes and love it. Everything was done with a dremel. Took about 5 or 6 grinding stones and two wire-brush wheels. I think over-all for both cylinders it took me about 8 hours of total work time. I did flow-bench testing and it came out almost equal to my buddies eric gorr port job. I paid $15 for supplies. Its not that hard, just make sure you don't take too much off the middle portion and keep everything even between the two cylinders and the two ports in each one. While you have it off you might as well polish your exhuast ports. If I had seen this post two days ago I would have gotton you pictures of my ports when I re-built my top end. Sorry. I have to re-jet my carbs this weekend, maybe i will pull the reeds off and get you some pics. Edited February 11, 2005 by BigRed350x Quote
Wallrat Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Personally I wouldn't do it. You might gain a couple horses but you also might ruin your chance of getting a proffessional port job down the road. If your bored you could always polish your cyls/head. Quote

limitied03 Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 my buddy cleaned up my ports but he has been working on quads and bikes for 20 something years......helped a WHOLE lot Quote
sandornothing Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 out of curiosity, what did you polish the exhaust ports with? dremel, super fine sand paper? mothers and a rag? what? Quote
scotts96fast Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 I wet sanded mine with 400 600.... Quote
