Most coppers couldn't tell the difference at first look unless your bike is confiscated for inspection.

My mates in the unit near me do engine conversions on VW Golfs putting obviously higher powered engines into a previously lower powered car. All the owners then do is inform the insurance and dvla of the changes and there are no inspections. I presume this is the same for all "car modding" and bikes too?????

In Australia Queensland you need a modification plate for any mod, cans, suspention or motor mods.

The Raptor cylinder shows no markings of 700cc nore does the XT660 cylinder. I would always say the cover was bing & Yamaha do not make a XT700c & you can not buy a bigger XT700 piston.

The cans so far have not caused any problem & I have been pulled over for inspections before.

:YellowWow_KKPB92:That looks class kev. I know youve wrecked your ankle but have you messed around with it yet, ie running the engine, allowed kev2 to have a go yet??

Kev

An idea which I think would be cool but not sure if you would be interested is to have a custom set or tank shroud decals made like the OEM ones but with XT700X on. A megga subtle but very cool mod. From what I have seen you are not frightened to tackle ANY mod!

Cover on the engine looks good especially once in orange to match the bike, a nice touch mate.

I did 600kms before stuffing my leg up. It felt real good, I need to get on the Dyno to sort the fuel map out.

Have though about it, not sure if I will do it.

Every mod I ever do, I always make sure when it comes to selling my bike, it can be put back to standard.

I�ve took this part numbers, from the parts catalogue of raptor 700r.Please correct me if I�ve made a mistake.:100::100::100:

If you are still after a complete Raptor camshaft, I got mine from these guys. I see they have a second one in a head, send them a E-mail. They sold me the cam out of a complete head.

Ok to round things off, what did I need & do for the Raptor conversion.

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a...x/DSCF2400.jpg

1/ I first bought a new Raptor 700 cylinder off Ebay. I would check to see if you can get your standard XT660 cylinder bored & replated it might be cheaper then buying a new cylinder.

2/ I bought a JE 102mm 11:1 piston kit off Ebay, you could also use a Wisco piston kit.

3 I bought a used complete camshaft from a bike breaker off Ebay. You need these parts off the Raptor camshaft.

4/ I also bought a Stage 1 Hot Cam off Ebay for the Raptor 700.

5/ Top end gasket set is made by Cometic & bought off Ebay.

6/ You need to machine the base of the cylinder by 2mm so it will fit into the crank cases, you also need to machine a cut away on the base of the cylinder for the engine breather. You need to slot the 6mm holes on the cylinder. You also need to slot the base gasket to fit the casing. I would not machine the cases again.

7/ Drain all fluids coolant & oil.

8/ Remove motor.

9/Remove head & barrel & fit the new parts, you will need to book some Dyno time to reset the fuelling.

10/ You need to fit a 8mm breather pipe from the front of the Raptor cylinder into a filter under the tank.

Futher HP can be gained by porting the head while it is off & fitting a stage 2 camshaft.

I will finish this post off with the Dyno results ASAP.

Hi Guys I am Kev (KLR) great forum you got here.

Helped Kev with all his machining for the Raptor mods, had a ride on the 700 today heaps more power than when standard. Up top has more power, will have better bottom end power after fuel map is corrected on the Dyno. Kev will give all the super bikes a good go for their money in the hills.

Glade you guys enjoy the spacers that I make for the XT660. I have a set in my KLR650 for some time but not in my ZRX1200. The links are a pain in the arse to make. I have given Kev a few machines shops names to contact to get the next batch of links on the go.
