Making horse power is really simple. Basically you change the rate of how much air and gas is inside the combustion chambers. Valves play a huge part in how much gas and air is put into the cylinder head. Longer, thicker intake valves allow more gas and air into the cylinder head which creates...

People have always said I have an unhealthy obsession with riding

Mine is from an 07. I don't know if anything newer will work because of the crossplane crank which has offset firing intervals. You could try, but be careful

With just the stock R1 parts you would make around 115-125, with the full exhaust and proper tune, i would predict damn close to 130. I make more because I use race cams, and what not

I keep trying to post the link to the site, but if you Google Yamaha racing parts, you'll find everything I have in my bike. The cheaper option would be to just use the cams and all from a stock R1. A little less power, but unless you can find someone with a totaled R1 who happens to have that...

Here's the link to the top end set up I have Yamaha Racing Parts It wont be cheap, but a cheaper option is to just use the stock R1 cams. Less Hp in the end, but it usually costs an average of 500 bucks and is good for around 120hp. The build its self is easy. Just take the top end works of an...

It's not that I have a special love for the FZ8 itself, It's my particular FZ8. We have a connection, and she's become a part of me. She's literally like a prosthetic extension of me, and I'm just as much a part of her.

It's not that special. It's called the R779 conversion. Basically it's just the top end works of an R1 shoved inside the cylinder head of the FZ-8. Cams, valves, the works. My set up comes from the Yamaha Performance Package built for the R1 (most people just use the stock R1 cams). I got lucky...

So I'm looking to get some big power out my FZ8. I've already done the R779 using Yamaha performance cams, valves, valve springs, ect ect. for the R1. Now it rates 143 hp to the wheel on premium pump gas. I'm looking to get around 180hp on pump without using a turbo or nitrous. I'm wondering if...
