shaved or stock?

[knightracer_08]

So Im running a 99 700 zr, I have the snow stuff stinger, gutted air box, boyesen power reeds, and some clean up porting and polishing of the main intake and exhaust ports. Now I have an extra set of cyl heads and was thinking about shaving them down a bit and boosting the compression a bit. Has anyone else done this or run higher compression heads? what are your opinions on this, is it worth the trouble or am I asking for some? I wasn't planning on taking a whole lot off. I will be posting a build of this sled as I have a 1m fuel tank on the way and am going to put the wrp mountain assault seat, and new fuel can carrier.

I have run several 700's with .015 cut off the heads. It works great.

Any issues with reliability? Thanks, I'm surprised there isn't more input here, Is the 700 dead? lol

run good fuel and get your jetting dialed and you will be fine. They haven't used the old 700 since 2000, so probably not a lot running around anymore.

ya I think I'm only going to shave .010 off, and I run an aem af meter so jetting is all good. Cant afford a new sled this year so just keep upgrading, little bit at a time, I love the sled its a good machine.

zr 700

i have a 2000 zr 700 myself and was wondering where i can get a ypipe for it

 

[knightracer_08]

I'm assuming you interested in a performance y-pipe, unfortunately no one males them, but there are a few things you can do to make them perform a little better if you want some info.

I just bought a 2000 zr 700 and I like info on y pipe mods or any other info you have. Thanks

Your better off looking for used twin pipes from D&D. The 99-00 single pipe 700's are not the greatest with that single pipe. They like twins!

 

[knightracer_08]

Those pipes arnt built for the altitude here talk to a couple performance shops around and have been told they arnt worth the money.
