  • Engine Rebuild

    I've seen many recommendations on mods to be performed on the engines. Since I have it open (and dissembled) now would be a good time to do some of them.

    Could someone point me to threads on these mods. I know about the cam chain tensioner (I have the replacement). Any other suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    No real parts function improvements other than the CCT. If lookin' for mods to improve performace noticably........very little, and what there is requires alot of experimenting and some really deep pockets to match.

      You can get a huge HP increase by stuffing an FJ1200 engine in there.

      You'll enjoy stock performance pretty well. Just remember it isn't your HD. It has to spin faster before it pulls hard.
