im speechless man !
A very good and safe biker not only because he can pop up either of the wheels,scrape his knees on a corner or go fast and make it look stylish but because he very well knows his limits and capabilities and has the patience to learn about others and ride safe ! :)

..
how do you guys make home made retaining springs , i thought you usually imported these things.
By larger carb, do you mean just the bigger main n pilot jets?
by using this sleeve, are you able to retain the stock piston
I believe you will be using the same gasket for street use also, but how will it run on the pump gas then , with a compression ratio of 12.5:1 !!
taller 4th gear is awesome, i the video posted, killer upshifted to 5th at 135 !!
did you alter the gearbox also for this?
I m so sorry for for so many questions in a post, but i cant resist the curiosity..
I m totally hooked onto this thread hereon...this is drool stuff !!!

@Varun - A larger carb means, its not a large jet alone. Its a bigger carb with a larger venturi. The bike is now running a really large jet, fyi over 130.
About the fuelling, the cylinder head is modified to improve combustion efficiency with an improved and innovative combustion chamber design. It took me a month to finish work on the cylinder head over a year ago. This is the most radical 2-valve head that I have ever worked on and anybody has done in India.
Therefore it can run such high compression with normal pump gas and in a race level of tune, will need pure 97 octane. I can run some insane compression with full race gas as well. Thats too much for you guys to comprehend.sigpic
