with the stroker crank you could get more...i reserched the same thing some time ago and i almost purchased a graves stroker crank and was told with an overbore, headwork and stroker crank 200hp isnt out of the question

 

:bump - Did any of you guys find out the maximum stroke you can add?

 

If you haven't gotten any info yet I'd call APE or Graves direct. Graves has a section here too and I know Taige is great on getting back to people.

APE just moved to Palmdale from here in Burbank and they've always been great to work with... they built a new place from the ground up at WSIR. Looks too modern compaired to all the old knowledge they have! :lol

 

Already tried APE and then reconfirmed with some of the older members here. Gonna have APE increase to 4mm. Then add Carrilo rods but will stick with stock pistons and bore. So this'll increase engine from 998cc to 1067cc. :thumbup Bill is gonna be around 2k... :crash

Nice!

I'm more than happy with the 141hp I get from my pretty much stock 02 in the middle of summer heat. I'll never ride it over 95% of what it can do on the street. It would just get me in trouble!

I'd rather put the money into making it stick to the road and more of a joy to ride. Upgrading the brakes, front fork internals, rear shock, and setting it all up made it more fun to ride and makes people on newer bikes wonder how my old horse keeps up with them!

But ya gotta do whacha gotta do! :hammer:

 

i am in the same sort of situation only a lil worse. i have 32000 miles and dyno # came in at 123hp and 64 torque. I spoke with my area's official/un-official moto mechanic guru and he told me for around 1500 he would freshin the motor up which included a basic over haul new rings seals and all the stuff that would bring it back to stock specs. and told me for about 2200 he would rebuild the motor w/ cams and pistons and the works. said that the bike would out ride any new liter bike? now my concern is, is that price worth it? and is that really possible for a 2003 motor built to handle that much hp increase and last or will i probably have the issue of once he starts i'll have to upgrade this to work with that and so on.??

your $0.02 wanted!

 

My project is pretty much done. I have a long list of details of what I done to mine. I'll write them down for you. I have spares for my bike so if any of you are interested let me know. I have a YEC High lift intake cam, YEC race harness, YEC springs, YEC head gaskets all for the 02/03 R1. I have part numbers also on them so if you want to look them up.

let me know when you put them up for sale. Definitely interested in the intake cam.

 

Well I'm about to put them up for sale to the forum but before I do if you want them it'll be 425. Let me know if you interested and I'll sell them to you.

 

add some good pics if you can.

 

It's still in it's original packaging. I never opened it. Do you want me to open it and take pics of it??

same with the springs too? no need to open the package, just take some pics of them as they are...

 

Yeah same things for the springs. I never opened the package. I'll take some pics tomorrow.

 

Can any of you point me towards the vendors for parts to rebuild a 02-03 engine? how much gained with the cams and springs...they be kinds pricey..lol.

 

Graves...

 

Cam, springs, and cam sprokets will run almost $1200. Anyone know the hp gain from this?

 

lots but you need to understand that when you start getting into the engine, you've already exhausted the normal (relatively cheap) mods like exhaust, v-stacks, blockoffs, Power Commander, wheels, etc etc...


And it gets VERY expensive... :fact

 

LOL....i was noticing that. I am planing to do the mods you listed soon. I guess i was just wondering if the power gained getting into the engine was worth it. From the looks of some of the parts ive found, its cheaper to get a newer bike!! lol

 

yup... a good engine/headwork will cost as much in labor as in parts almost if not more than a complete bike. But if you can get 180-200hp out of a 98-03 motor. :rock:

 

As a matter of fact im surfing the net for more goodies right now....

 

Hindle still has headers on sale for $200...hmmmmm

 

Good idea to get the cheaper mods first. :thumbup
