Well, getting ready to do the first heat cycle. I'll check back after and let you all know how it went.
Two rebuilds...underway

First heat cycle was a success. Took three kicks and started right up. Got a video of the motor so you guys can hear what it sounds like and so I can make sure you all think it sounds right. Sounds perfect to me, but just wanna make sure!
Did the third heat cycle already. Gonna let it sit for a few hours, do one more heat cycle, leak test, then use my high temp silicone and seal up the exhaust flange.
Already done now. It's way more of a pain in the ass than it needs to be if I have to silicone the flange, do heat cycles, take flange off and clean silicone, do leak test, silicone again...
That still doesn't eliminate the problem I highlighted in the last post... Lol
The problem with using silicone with my flange and then breaking the motor in with heat cycles is that after the heat cycles I have to take the flange off and remove the silicone with a wire brush and then leak test and after the leak test add more silicone to the flange. With 24 hours being required between silicone and operating, that makes for a hell of a long heat cycle process lol
I am curious is those dmc exhausts are any better than my f7? I like this f7, hits real hard in the powerband...
I had a fmf fatty and fmf powercore 2 before I bought the f7 and the difference is night and day. The fmf is on my girls bike now.
Well, I am officially blasterless.... I posted both bikes today on Craigslist and they sold in hours. Got $1400 for both.
