Well its been a while since I have had time to sort this bike out. I set the squish at .041" which has dramatically lowered cylinder pressure. Raced it all weekend without blowing the head gasket. I also took the advanced flywheel key out and ran the stock one, so less timing too. The bike ran well, didn't pull as hard to the rev limiter so I short shifted it to make use of the mid range torque. I did put a bigger radiator on it, I can not tell what it is off of as I found it at a swap meet. Ran a temp guage on it as well, coolant temp stayed right at 180 degrees.
So in comparison to other bikes? I beat every KTM390 (4 on the grid) every ninja 300 (3), one yamaha R3, Ninja 250"s aren't a challenge,1 Aprillia 250 cup, bike, 1 electric bike, 1 Hawk, Raced up into the lightweight field and waxed an air cooled Buell and several ametuers on SV650's.
