kawituner did help me out on the clutching to get the power to the ground he's right there. And getting me to 74 mph in stock form he is right there to. I pull my bike thats were putting the horses to the ground help me alot. He has spent alot of hours tuning the 650's and has done well mickey is a great guy he builds great motors lots of good luck for him in this industry he's done well. But has far as the bigbore yam. grizzly's we did out pull them by feet's not to brag but by alot as far as shotgun's motor goes it should be a tough bike to beat and i mean beat becouse i say this to the hard work mickey puts in to his motor's. But as you all now the results will be posted sooner or later.

Helix, thats what I was thinking too. Last time I called Mickey he said I didnt have to cut the case for the larger pistons. Thats really what sealed it. I just didnt want to pull the entire engine out.

bombman, I have already done most of the things KawiTuner has said except for the cam timing thing and running at 8 degree key. If I want to run 8 degrees I can buy the Dyna CDI " My goodness did I just say that??" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] LOL, HEY I will buy whatever works. Anyway, what Mickey offers with his 765 kit is so much ahead of the Grizzly they are not even comparable.

It sounds like KawiTuner is a smart guy and knows what he is talking about. I cant run the Dalton clutch cover like he does because I highly value my KEBC. I have done or already planning on doing some things he mentioned like snorkel the air intake, change the airbox to the 03 design, degree key, springs ect. Also, Mickeys cams will be so far ahead of the retarded stock cams they will look retarded.

Like I said, KawiTuner seems like a smart guy with lots of good ideas or applications but we are not talking about running with a modified Grizzly. I honestly dont think the setup he told me will hold a light to the 765 FST kit. No harm intended but I must speak my mind or I wouldnt be honest in my thoughts.

kod he played with bthe degree key and it worked for his bike at the time but there wasnt any dg3 mod. or cdi box offerd at the time. So it worked for him but what has worked for me is the dg3 mod. plus alot of clutch tuning to get the power to the ground hope the cdi works for you.

I hope kawituner didn't tell you that he had an 8 degree key and cam timing change,

Internal mods wouldn't be allowed in the stock class.....you must have misunderstood him...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

KOD,

You can do what you what to your bike, but these mods worked well on my p650.
