Please try then let us Know :hyper: Actually it sounds plauseable, but if it was the case someone on the forum probalbly would have heard about it by now? weather you want to take the risk and try it on your own bike is something you will have to decide for yourself :idunno: If it was to work the occasional blast to 13k shouldnt really harm your engine as the STD limit would have been set conservatively, (its not like the factory set it at 12,200 or 12,400 or whatever and it then self destructs at 12,500) Motopower in the UK built a 178 rwhp blade that revs to 15,000rpm without a problem it uses std crank, rods and pistons although they run a slightly looser clearance on the centre main bearings to free it up a little, now before anyone flames me on this, Im not saying that without mods it would be safe to run a std 954 this high, but I believe 13k would be well within its limits! If you had a full system, bigger cams, bumped up compression (and throw in some shorter velocity stacks for good measure as these would complement this High rpm configuration) and a properly mapped PC3R you could well make use of some extra RPM and gain a size chunk of HP (maybe 160ish rwhp :eyebrows: )
Now before anyone asks do you really need all this extra power on the street, first go and ask everyone who is going to by any of the new 04 models this same question!
