very nice, but now that i see that the thing runs on methanol, the hp numbers make a bit more sense

[joesmotos]

thats just cool i dont care who you are...

Was the class you run in a combined race?
Thought i was watchin Rossi there for a  minute,you passin all those guys..

4th fastest lap and on a '750'. Sounds like a monster.

How much HP bump from the methanol would you predict or did you do a comparison? What size pistons? Modified stock block? You're here now so you gotta talk 

You going to make any parts, etc available in the States?

Jerry, the methanol its self don't give a power increase, it's the compression it allows you to run that gives it.

Hi

They did combine classes in that event, next race will be at Philip Island in January 2016 against the Harris XR69's.

The methanol allows you to push the engine further, more compression, more timing advance, helps the air cooled run cooler which is a big deal.

That engine was never tuned for pump fuel, it was always on methanol.

Pistons are 78mm, modified stock barrel with hardened bores.

Presently we only build complete engines because we aren't able to sell anyone a kit because the engine is modified top to bottom so if we were to sell something it would be basically a complete engine, or, something that wouldn't be any different from what you can get off the shelf in the states already.

Merry Xmas

Sounds so mean, and that acceleration is glorious!  Well done
