Michael, did you by any chance ask what they'd charge to do the conversion? I asked about it but it seems they are having trouble getting an answer from Bill since he's gone a lot.

I don't know what they charge to do the work. All I know is that you can buy a SF already built for around $5500 from them.

I chose to do the work myself because, well, it's what I do for fun.

cassandra told me that for en extra $1500 when i bough my bike i could have the kit, pipe, and carb installed

 

Thread resurrection! :-)

I believe this is the bike I purchased this afternoon from the original owner up in Sedro-Wooley. Said he bought the bike from Skagit Powersports with the 351kit, FMF Power bomb header/FMF muffler, pumper carb and pro taper handle bar on it from the dealer. The original invoice/paperwork I have shows a sale date of 8/27/09 with 504 miles on it. He also gave me the dyno sheet showing the different states of tune (stock/big bore kit only/bigbore and pipe/bigbore, pipe and carb). I can try to scan/post the dyno graphs if anyone is still interested.

 

Cool story. Please post those dyno sheets. Would be cool to see the different setups tested on the same dyno. ZrexRich 1100 or 1200? I have an 05 1200.

 

If you have the means then please post up the dyno charts. theres really very little information out there on Big Bore KLX setups.

The community would much appreciate it i'm sure.

 

Please do. It would be interesting to see and compare.

If you don't mind me asking, what did you end up paying for the bike?

My bike has just a few more mods than the original 351. I've only managed to rack up a little over 400 miles on it over the last few years unfortunately. I've toyed with the idea of selling it hence my question.

Thanks,
Michael

 

Nicely done. Keep us apprised.

 

My first ZRX was a 99' 1100 that I went a little overboard on(swapped in a 1200 engine, did a 2mm overbore(1224) and turbocharged it. From what I remember, it put out 241hp and 177ft lbs torque at 14 lbs. of boost. Next was a 03' 1200 that I kept fairly stock(piped/jetted). The 99' got parted out and the 03' sold. The proceeds went to one of my current rides...a 05' BMW K1200S. If you do some digging on the ZRXOA board, you can find 1224 turbo build thread.

 

Well, I scanned the dyno sheets but was unable to figure a way to upload them to Photobucket, so I took pic's of the sheets and uploaded the results that way. Sorry for the poor pic quality.
