i wasnt even planning on hitting it in 1st lol.

 

what?

don't be gay... you have to hit it in first to get any good times out of it.

it really doesn't hit that hard.. my 1000 on a 60 shot only feels like maybe a 100 on a normal car. i was expecting a lot more but after talking to danny he said he had sprayed a few bikes back in the day and it wasn't shit.... then i rode mine and he was right.

 

baby steps lol. maybe ill get this thing to trap 120+

 

do it yourself its the best way. imo if the shit breaks u'll know how to fix it without waiting

 

i still didnt get my one question answered...why is it 75 bucks to get a bike cyl. bored, when its 8-15 to get a car cyl bored?

 

$8-$15!! Damn, whoever is doing that is selling themself short. I cant understand how they make any money. This is precision machining, i wouldnt even set the block up in my boring bar for $8. The $75 bore job i was refering to was for a 700cc kit,which is 3mm over. thats a lot more cutting than your .010" that you are probably speaking of for a car. A normal bore job(up to 1mm over) is around $40-$50. Prices include chamfering and honing. I dont make the prices, i just do the work. These prices are also pretty consistant for all motorcycle machine shops.

 

.010, .020, .030. 040...whatever...its 8-15 flat rate from what ive seen per shop dealing in my car endeavors.

i mean maybe your right, maybe its the amount of material that has to be removed from each cyl...4mm is like 1/8 of an inch, but still there is 2 cylinders compared to 8, and i would think it would even out...and not to mention the car cyls i deal with are 4+ inch bores..requiring a bigger bit..but i dunno.

 

wow, didnt know the car guys were that cheap. now i'm very interested to see their equipment,tooling and procedures. hmmm

 

Good info, I need to either rebuild or replace the motor on my SV (yes, still).. whichever is cheaper (probably replace)

 

deacon....dont fuck with the bike....you talking about spraying a frickin SV650...come on man! That is a learners bike at best. Do yourself a favor and buy a faster bike. It will save you time, money, and embrassement. And as far as your bore question goes, its a simple lesson in economics....supply v. demand. you should better spend your time selling your bike and researching for a new one....imo
