If I were going to do any motor mods I'd do the 03 intake cam + 00 intake in the exhaust side mod...  I've promised myself  I won't mess with this motor so maybe next season  ;)

Between my exhaust (full yosh RS3) and jets I'm probably close to stock 03+ output anyway.

I'm sorry...most of the SVs that I race against are SS legal.  The 2003 model absolutely ran away from everyone on their non-injetced models here in the SW.  I know of quite a few adhering to SS rules that are selling their "old" SVs just to buy new ones.

Ed Key's bike is SS legal. Thats the interesting part.

interesting as in ...you would love a tear down?

Nate R

No, not at all. I know Ed's bike is legal. I've heard some good stories about him following rules.

Interesting in the fact that he followed the SS rules to the letter, and still got the bike down to that weight. Me and Ed have talked about some of the things he's done to the bike.

CCS rules are designed to be easily enforced, from what I can tell. And this is good. Not many people are whining about SS legality. It's pretty plain to tell as far as chassis stuff. Anything not in the rulebook is fair game. Ed took advantage of that. He's put a LOT of time into that bike.

One story I heard (I *THINK* this was Ed) was that he ran 2 out of 3 rings on pistons on an AMA Pro Thunder bike. Rule said you had to have all the stock motor parts. So, after a partial teardown, the inspector said, "Look Ed, your bike isn't legal. You'll have to be DQ'd as you only have 2 piston rings on the pistons."


"Check the oil pan."


And what do you think was there? 2 piston rings. And whattya know, the next year, the rule was changed to say that stock motor parts had to remain in stock locations.

Ed is a very clever guy, he has been around for a while.

Anything in the rule book that is not listed as"must reamin as produced" can be modified. Ed has replaced most of the steel parts (outside of the engine) with aluminum or titanium.

QuoteOne story I heard ...
"Check the oil pan."

Wasn't Ed.  I told him about it.  It was done by a well known builder/tuner of AMA Supersport/Superstock bikes.

But, Ed rides the wheels off his bike, and he is focused completely on set up...that is what makes him such a hard competitor.

Ah. Thanx for the correction, Dave. I didn't think it was Ed, either, but when I told this story to someone else, Jen claimed to be pretty sure it was Ed. I guess I shouldn't believe everything she says, eh? ;)

QuoteI have an 03. The stock subframe is very heavy. I made my own out of aluminum. If you know how to weld aluminum it is not difficult, just time consuming.

Hey Brian - check your instant messages - you have one...
