Sorry, I am only going to build the 750's and smaller in order to keep the reliability and longevity to a maximum. We build cross-country engines and race them and test them to ensure that the average customer will have no problems with them. The amount of people that would put a turbo on or nitrous isn't worth pursuing. The first thing you are going to do is stick a rod through the cases or tear the rear-end out of it which I believe you have already done.

 

Mickey, how much do you charge to remove the old sleeves and press in the new ones? I'll be in Vermont this coming summer and could ship the cylinders to you from Canada and you could do the work and ship them back to Vermont. I'd prefer having someone do the work that knows what they're doing. It would be worth the cost of shipping to have you do the work.

 

I charge $150 to re-sleeve each cylinder and to bore the new piston in. Any machine shop should be able to do this.

 

Hello Mickey,

I'm still interested in the motor work we talked on a while ago. Glad to see someone as qualified as you respond to these forums.

A world class motor builder on a forum. We'll bug you to death.

Again, I glad you responded.

I'll be calling.

I need to do this so I can go by the betterhalfs 650 I just have to figure out how to take the motor out with out her noticing because she'll want hers done. Trust me she is already crazy enough she doesn't need to go any faster

 

MickeyDunlap:
Hi , I was wondering what kind of hp numbers do the 750 bore kits give? I am interested in what kind of numbers Kilby's and Shelly's rigs run on a dyno. How do they compare to the sport quads in drags (modified and non-modified). I am interested in this cause maybe in the future I would consider the bore kits...if another utility comes along that waxes the P650. Untill then I will not touch the engine. Thanks...

$150 wow. I've got a local here that does it for $80. Or is it $150 for both.

 

Hello Mickey

I am interested in your 750 only because I intend to get a V700 sometime next year and the 750 4x4 would be an excellent addition to the toy shop. My motor is in excellent shape there is no pitting from the nos, no damage at all I had the case hardness tested today and everthing is to spec. I beleive that Kawi has built a durable motor and handle a great deal as you probably now. If you do not wish to sell me a 750 that's okay too I can rebuild the turbo drop it to 8 psi and will most likely drive circles around the 750 and probably an eight hundred. By January I will have a manifold made to incorporate a single carburetor whick will allow for different size carbs and make it easier to mount my turbo. Good luck with your kits they sound great maybe we can work something out later.

 

I don't know how you fellas hang on to any 750, I struggle to keep atop the seat of the stock ones. Maybe in a year when I get my training wheels off and graduate to big boy pants, I'll look into doing something crazy like making it a 750. Until then, I'll stay on the porch and keep dreaming.

 

I thought Penland races in the STOCK UTILITY class?
