Indy Dan Long Rod Motor

[CBlock13]

I have a 2011 pro rmk 800 and last year the motor laid down on me. Cracked cylinder wall and put hole in the case. Needless to say I'm going to put a Indy Dan Long Rod motor in. Just looking for other experiences with this motor. Has anyone had any issues? Any noticeable power difference?
Thanks

I also have an ID LR in my 11, i have never ridden a stock 11 though so not sure on the difference.

We have three Indy Specialties LR motors in three ProRMKs.

Motors run a little smoother, pull harder in the midrange and seem to hold rpm better. Throttle response seemed stronger then before.

Happy we did it.

Put one in my 11 after it threw the piston skirt through the bottom of the engine. Great engine, and at the time Dan was offering it for $2500 exchange! I felt it was very strong and a noticeable improvement over stock. You will like it.

The difference of a well blueprinted and professionally assembled motor is real, lots of great examples out there. Unfortunately, getting one from the factory is just plain luck.

Me and my brother both have long rod motors.
Run strong and pull 2 grams more weight per arm with the same brand weight and all other clutching/gearing/track details being the same.
No issues that were not caused by me.

Same story here. Plus Dan's customer service and knowledge is unbelievable. Send him your clutches too!

I wouldn't let anyone else on the planet touch my motor. Well, except TRS.

Amen! X2; I'm a believer! A truer statement has likely never been posted on this forum.

Anyone ever run his high compression head on this motor?

 

[Spaarky]

You mean the high altitude set up?

 

[wfieldin]

I tried to increase compression and it would not work, I worked with Dan to see if it could handle some more but anything we tried set it into DET.

 

[BILTIT]

How much of an increase? What head setup?

Love his motors, it's the cost effective way to go with a motor with your damage and the fastest turn around time too!

Make sure you double check all your wires before you but the new one back it. It's way easier to find a wire harness issue then instead of once it's back in.

 

[CBlock13]

He is setting me up with his 13:1 head for high altitude riding. Just wondering if anyone has the same setup?

 

[BILTIT]

I run a 13.6 par head on mine at both 1800 and 6500-8500ft.

I've known Dan for a long time now.

He's very dedicated to customer service and has tons of happy customers.

Never got around to changing the head, Dan had me do some testing with lower octane fuels to see how much room if any we had for increasing compression. This engine wanted nothing to do with anything under 91 octane, we have pretty poor fuel here so I left it as is.

 

[BILTIT]

Oh ok, I run 110 or av in a mix so 91 octane doesn't limit me. I actually wanted to go more than 13.6, he said he would tighten it up a little. Not sure yet how its responded to the changes.

Ran his motor all last year and it runs way harder and way smoother than any other pro in our group. His customer service is unreal!!!

I heard a story from a customer that had a motor go down on the first day of a trip and Dan had a new motor on the way to him that day. He shipped it overnight and the guy only missed one day of riding. I can about guarantee that no other engine shop out there would do this, especially in the power sports industry.

I would never hesitate to biz with Dan again!!

Another singing the praises response for Dan, I have installed 7 of His long rods, all are awesome runners! Way stronger than stock and we can ride with confidence knowing the engine is the least of our worries.
