big bore answers

[clayton]

NRHS! Im taking my o4 xb12s to their shop in Longmont Co. on saturday. He is gonna install his stage 2 kit. It includes new cylinders and hurricane forged pistons. 10.5 to 1 compression, 1250cc. Stage 2 head work, port polish and big valves, and springs. Cometic gaskets, total seal, file fit rings. And Im also getting red shift cams .575 lift, new lifters and push rods, oil pump gear, and dyno tuned, for around 3 grand.

[Loki]

****.

Cant you just buy the 1250 kit and put that on and be fine? They say its bolt on. Idk how it all works. Im asking for my sake, im planning on doing this in the winter but not all the work youre doing.

Cant wait to hear how she does!

[dave_xb12r]

Don't forget to tune it

[snapper]

How she feel with all that torque?

[sak1782]

I like that curve!!!

[clayton]

you can just go with the bolt on kit, but to extract the power that it is capable of you must port the heads and go with big valves. I just picked up my bike yesterday, all work and brake in complete, it made 119hp at the back tire! Now it power wheelies in 2nd with the flick of the wrist. 31hp gain, and it delivers it so much smoother! money well spent for me.

[SlickRidin]

congratulations i so want to do this to mine. Almost everytime im on internet i go to their site Ans drool a little. haha

[snapper]

Nice, was it still around 3 grand when it came the time to pick it up? YOu do a quarter mile before and after? I think I may need to pick up some overtime this winter hehe :)

[Tork]

Put up a video. I'd like to hear it.

[Kid1620]

Pics and video or it didn't happen

[turboraven]

I 2nd the vid. What did the final bill look like in the end?

[netty2424]

This was done to my bike by nhrs performance by the previous owner. This is my first Buell so I don't have any way to compare it to stock, but I'm 6'3" 230 and it has no problem lifting the front end at any time. Its got pletny of power. I don't do wheelies but it's lifted a couple times when I got lazy.

I went to HD Dallas to dyno tune just to make sure I was getting everything out of it, but the guy said I needed to drill into my exhaust to add an o2 sensor and do some other things as well. He wasn't real excited about doing it either, said no one there was real experienced in tuning Buells so I said forget it.

[XBfanatic87]

hmmmm, 3 grand seems quite reasonable for the increase. guess im not done with the bike haha.

[bikepilot]

That's a great number. Did you do a before/after dyno?

[unionthug]

119 hp is impressive. Had you done the ecm pipe and intake prior to the big bore kit? That wasn't included in the $3k price was it? What will the dyno / tune time cost?

[clayton]

Intake, and exhaust were pre existing to build, dan at nrhs dyno tuned my bike for free, race tune. we discussed the cam swap, and the one i wanted required pushrod adjustment every oil change. It was gonna cost me 3hp, and save $400 to reuse my old cams, and they work great with the build. Out the door price was $2670.

[clayton]

I will try to get a video for u guys so you all know that it is true!

[XBCityX]

I'm excited to compare results after my turbo goes on this winter. Yes yes pics or it didn't happen. Aerocharger self contained oil turbo, chain conversion kit to take some torque and put her more in the top end. Port and polish the heads, maybe change to titanium valves. Re cut the valves at least. full cometic gaskets set and I think a water methanol injection system. About 3 grand in total. I don't wanna here bitchin about the turbo is the fastest way to roast a motor. Everything in moderation and for Hell's sake spend the friggin money and do it right. Pics to come. probably January before i pull the motor.

[clayton]

I agree, if you purpose build it for your application it will handle it.

[theoctopus]

I fixed your embed code.

So did anrkizm95. Great minds think alike.

[clayton]

thanks guys. it is supposed to be warm tomorrow, might get some wheelie footage!

[jakestolar]

Man those are some big ol' pegs!

[Kid1620]

I thought he had to pedal it to get it started with those big ass pegs lol sound good man

[user_deleted]

God Almighty that thing sounds powerful. glad to hear your starter acts like my 2007 Uly starter. click...bump...click...turn over....start. LOL

[clayton]

I like my big pegs. They dont look that good, but they help with weight transfer in the corners, and comfort!

[kelly]

goof balls lol. all that power adn never actually using up what teh stock power provides. to each his own not knocking it just dont get it. unless your full throttle always (which you are not unless you are a pro racer or have a stack a felony tickets) what makes it worth the cash? im asking not talkin **** btw.

[anrkizm95]

unless your full throttle always (which you are not unless you are a pro racer or have a stack a felony tickets) or me i guess

[SchoolHouseCycles]

just dont get it.


More horsepower is always a good thing!

[mtkawboy]

I hope you like your thighs roasted in the summer. I have to ride with my right leg spread out on mine. Tons of heat off the engine.

[snapper]

More horsepower is always a good thing :D:D:D:D

This combination if tuned correctly typically puts around 125 horse at the rear wheel. That's not like WHOA!!! Like you're thinking. 125 is still very very usable and pretty fun. If you made the same comment about the new ducat 1199. I would agree though

I'm sure this bike runs as good as it sounds [up]

[unionthug]

I disagree Kelly, the HP comes on in the 1250 EVO at a place you can use it and the torque (the stuff that actually moves us) is always there. I have 102 hp at the rear wheel and 86 ft pounds with a pipe, ecm and air box and it is almost enough but a tremendous value for under $1,000.

Indeed if the HP / TQ came in at 5500-7000 the real world benefits would be limited but as noted it's a linear curve and there when you need it. Nice job!

[clayton]

Thanks to all who are interested, I smoked a gsxr 750 on a 10 mile canyon road today it was awesome.

[onelogue]

That's awesome! I can't see myself spending that much more money on my bike but yes more power is always good. UGH just when I thought Im done puttin money into modifications :/. 119 WHP bonerrrrrrr

[Crescent1101]

I want to do this do bad but with two other projects I have to pick and choose. I think the warrior is getting a stage IV done first.

[garyphantom222]

I plan to put the NRHS kit on myself when I get my pennies saved up.:D:D

[fireinxb]

Hey Clayton, looks sexy man. Sounds rad too. Please get us some onboard videos, or just some videos of anykind showing the extra power.
