My Engines Got To Come Out And Be Split

Noted. If this is the case I will just go for the ecu mapping. There’s hardly any difference in price. Just a longer journey. I have been in touch with Dave Wood Racing ( closest to me ) and they seem to have good reviews.

 

So engines complete. Picked it up yesterday. So next job is to clean it up a bit then get it in the bike. I’m then going to chuck the bike in the van and take it back to Simon at Race engineering to give it some fresh oil and it’s initial fire up. Also going to get him to fit the new chain & sprockets while it’s in.
couple of questions. I’ve had the heads gas flowed so after run in I’ll get it dyno’d and set up properly. If I go for the mwr filter ( the one that replaces the top of the air box ) will it be ok to run the bike in with this fitted or will it run to lean? Would rather get it fitted now while everything’s apart rather than having to strip the tank off again. Also the battery seems to have give up the ghost. After putting it on charge the other day it just comes up as 6v on the charger. Is it worth getting a lithium replacement? I know they’re lighter, but is the double cost worth it?
Another job on the cards are new plugs. Any recommendations for these?

 

Good advice Comfy. What do you think about the filter situation?

 

Maplesyrup. Yeah think your right. Managed to get it all back together earlier on and was mulling it over but ended up putting the air box back on. Like you say. Not to much hassle to remove the tank again. Better be safe than sorry. All in all this rebuild has cost me nearly 3k.
Yeah think I’ll order a lithium. Any recommendations?

edit: just had a quick search and believe it or not Halfords are by far the cheapest for a lithium

 

Ideally I would rather go for pods. Problem is they’re so expensive in comparison to the mwr kit. Ok you have to cut the top off the box but it’s £120 vs £300+ for the pod kit. And the mwr is going to get the same gains. I do think the pods are a better kit but after spending 2.5k on the engine build I’m being careful with the pennies. Especially as I’ve got to have her dyno’d & set up after she’s run in.

 

Some pics of the gas flowing for anyone who cares lol

 

After buying the lithium battery first and then doing the research I’m a bit concerned lol. Do I need to carry around a fire extinguisher in case the rectifier goes fubar!? Although the battery I brought is one with the safety bar built in, I’ve still seen bad feedback even just on this forum. This hyper hast been kind to me as it is. I don’t need a fire to top it off.

 

It’s an 09 Andy.
