Well it looks like I finally have to bite the bullet and replace the top end on the R. As I'm at it, I also need some performance parts to complete the power up pakage. Up untill this upgade, I have only ice raced with a competely stock motor, reeds, carb and exhaust so I have no idea what to expect. I was really competitive with the 14 year old piston but it is now showing signs of getting tired. I could bore and port the old jug but would rather hang on to it for a stock R someday since it has never been bored.
I'm not a motor guy so I'm asking you, Am I making a good decision for a ice racer motor? Is this top end pretty good?
here is what i'm planning on, pretty much a kit from ESR
-ESR 310 bolt on with TRX9 porting
-ESR ATC5 pipe with silencers
-ESR exhaust flange
-AirStryker Keihin Carbs 38 mm
-250R RB2000 Billet Reed Blocks (ESR 8-petal reed block system )
-K&N filter
