    [QUOTE=xtx;1507635]It was 51.8 HP before the 700cc stage 1 cam conversion, keen to see what the gains are after the conversion.

    That's some serious modification! Keep us posted how you get on.

    I have a Aprilia Pegaso Trail that has a similar motor to the XT. I had to fit a Power Commander to get it to run right and now (with a K&N filter) it runs really well. Power is sufficient for my needs and certainly better than the F650 it replaced.

    Cheers

    Wicked! Nice to see you're employing the dremel tool too!

    Xt660

    All those mods are great I have looked at 700 barrel option also.
    I got off my F650 Dakar and onto the big wheel 660, it handled much better and delivered the power down low unlike the BMW as a result I have put an order in the UK for the new Tenere which I will try and find a way to shed a few Kgs.
    I love them and they are Japanese {sort of}.
    Pete.

    Tha raptor barrel does not fit straight on, I had to machine the casings by 0.98mm. Next time I would machine the bottom of the sleave. I also had to make a cut away for a breather at the bottom of the cylinder & slot the 6mm holes on the side of the Raptor barrel









    Also the Raptor Hot Cam needs some extra bits from the raptor. Sprocket decompressioner & pin. I bought a used Raptor compelte cam from a bike breaker in the States US$66.00 posted, the extra parts from Yamaha was US$330.00. The Stage 1 Hot cam was US$150.00 posted.

    After this conversion to 700cc and the hot up what are you expecting/hoping to see at the rear wheel(hp)?

    Not to sure, if I get 5 or 6 HP gain I would be happy. I did not go for the stage 2 cam as I still want the bottom end torque. The stage 2 gives 6 hp on it's own. So a 2mm bigger bore, 10:1 to a 11:1 piston & stage 1 cam should give a 5hp gain. Giving a total with all my other mods a 25% gain in power & torque

    I broke my achillies tendon last weekend & had surgery. I am out of action for a while. The bike was surposed to go on the Dyno this past Monday, I will get on the dyno soon.

    If you can squeeze 25% out of it that would be a pretty healthy jump in the go department, bugger about the archillies tendon man.

    Got my timing cover back.

    This was my dyno run before the 700cc mod, I was sorting the fuel map when I fitted the these mods. That was with PCIII Carbon can pipes DNA stage 1 & 2 filters, snorkel removed AIS blocked off.

    I still have to run the 700cc conversion on the dyno, I will do it as soon as I can ride again.

    Well the results are out for the XT700 conversion, I am still testing a few different camshafts over the next few days, so more dyno sheets to come.

    Just short of 57HP, 56.92 @ 6500RPM. I have lost a bit of the bottom end but gained alot on the top.

    Wow, what is in that beast?

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.
