After at least a year I had mine out for some breaking in today. Just rode some around the house, first time it's been started and I'm following KOR break in routine......so no performance reports yet. This is the engine from the all stock first bore 01 I bought first, with a KOR topend (ported, head modded, bored and honed), WiseCo piston kit and OEM gaskets (all from a trade I did with KOR, thanks again, sir Ken) and never open bottom end. Along with the engine this is the first time out with the +4" swing arm and Kawasaki 400 rear shock. Suspension feels really good in choppy stuff and didn't bottom at the bottom of the steep hills. Front end stayed down going up hill but still easy to get up when crossing a ditch with some weight shifting and a bleep of the throttle. I started with a 330 main, needle in the middle clip, pre-mixing now with a new Uni filter and still running the DG exhaust. After being pro DG for some long, I have to admit it's not going to favor the KOR topend as it did on the stock engine. The pipe just doesn't seem to be able to handle the increased flow that the port work wants/needs. I still have the full FMF system, will be trying it next time I ride it. Id say it would take me a couple of weeks to get the 2 tanks recommended before I start the plug chops. I feel pretty safe with the 330 main, mid 70's at 1500 ft elevation.
The chassis is my red 04 no bends or breaks. The front has extended a arms (think the are Bugard), stock front hydro brakes, banshee shocks and Blue Lables 1/4 reversed wheels. The back has +3" spacers, 18" tamers and 8X8 Blue Lables. Swing arm is extended 4 inches, using the shock from a KFX400 and stock Blaster read Hydro brakes. That should about cover it. Snapped a couple of pics up at the top of my hill. A lot of dust but still looks pretty good, IMO. Very happy with the stance. I have a set of 10" bead locks that will go on it when I find 20x10 tires and then maybe move up to a 22" tire in front. I still have to get my nerf bars installed and rear skid plate but all and all it's ready to be ridden now. Here is 3 pics I took while I was up behind the house.
