    I wouldn't say that it WILL happen but with the power difference you can get from those mods to a Hyosung and that it is still a small bike so sitting on redline at WOT is still very likely I think there would be a really good chance the heat stress would get that high.

    PM sent also, I need to get the carbs done in mine so I can start using the straight pipe.

I've seen 150km/h according to Mr. GPS and got there pretty quick. Round town is perfect, sits at about 5500rpm at 100km/h. Dyno run said 36hp at the wheel.

    Did i mention this was on a gn250?
    Wow. Nice going. I was going to wait till the basics are done till I start fucking with the engine. Did you do port/polish yourself? How 'involved' did it get? I'd be quite keen to give mine a go once the basics are done and a bit of guidance would be fricken awesome!

    I think I may have seen you round.
    A few months back I was at some lights next to a guy on a GN, and he absolutely smoked me when we took off.

    Yeah, i did the port and polish myself. Took awhile to get everything the same though. Pretty much just slap the gasket on, outline the metal between the port and inner ring of the gasket, then take of some of that. The hardest bit is getting them the same, but a expansiony T looking thingie and a micrometer will do the trick for that. Oh, that and forking out for carbide bits...

    Its pretty simple, you just gotta be make sure the ports are the same. Hell, im sure you would see an increase in power if your just wipped the head off and sanded out all the little burrs and bumps from the ports!

    It can look the same but a "polish" and a "port" are different things. Polish your own stuff by all means. Remove dags and casting marks. Match up the manifolds to the heads etc and generally shine it up. Basicly factory but in a tidy way they don't bother doing because of mass production.

    Porting is more sculpting the intake and outlets to give different flow characteristics and can be better or worse for your performance. This is where knoledge of fluid dynamics, years of experience and a flow bench are real handy. Bigger isn't always better and with porting your not just tidying up but reshaping the unit. I have seen some race car heads where the tuner actually fills in some areas a wee bit and polishes that so it's a completly different shape from the factory one. Especially when tubroing a non-turbo head etc.

    Like any mods, one thing at a time, a little bit at a time and try try again. Have fun!

    i agree with Mr pancakes, if you dont have some serious tools and know how at your disposal, doing just a polish is the best bet.

    100%.
    the connector you remove from the connecting block isnt like the normal ones that lock them self in so you only have to push it out. its held in by a rubber grommet type thing so just push it out dont cut it.

    My problem is my accountant (aka wife) wont let me upgrade at this time. Have a mortgage to pay. Although did find a nice SV650s

    Anyway, I have semi debaffled and was thinking over Xmas I might do the polishing.

    Whats the cost to do a skim? And mod the air filter?

    Once these are done, I then get the carbs rejetted?
