Wiseco Quality issues

Wiseco makes great stuff: Here is where the problem(s) lay.<br><br>#1) Wiseco REQUIRES hand fitment, hand end gapping, & if required hand filing of the piston ring end gaps. This is precise work. This is very time consuming work. Most owner installed Wiseco Piston kits never see this step performed!...

Re: Origin of the species

CVs evolved from the SU carbs that first appeared on British cars & Volvos in the mid to late fifties. The EPA never mandated CVs. They were just the easiest & cheapest way for the motorcycle manufacturing industry to use then existing technology to meet emission standards that came into effect for ...

I disagree

I say the fello would have been better off with his stock airbox. Unfortunately I see this all the time. Individual pod filters are generally more hassle than they are worth unless you have switched to aftermarket race only carbs. I advise my customers to not go beyond a stock replacement K&N air fi...

Re: Fine points

I agree there are no 40mm FCRs. Those sound like a stock flat slide set off of some limited production recent model. As such it is anybody's guess as to what they really are & what they will work on. Then one must ask where will I get parts. More info about the exact point of origin would help.<br><...

Fine points

No, you most likely would not "need" to have it dyno tuned. You might "want" to have it dyno tuned. The FCRs come out of the box very close to perfect if you provide enough & accurate set up info to me. 19 times out of 20 they run fine right out of the box. Of course very fine-tuning for your indivi...
