That baby should get with the program once all done. What cc will it end up being? What fuel will you have to run to make 180hp. Thanks Tom The beer goes down even better when ya know you dont have to go to work the next day. Edited April 2, 2017 by Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost around 60 lbs. But then I was losing too much ,so I re introduced some carbs back in and fucked myself in the ass Now I'm doing my old motox workout regiment ,with a light protein diet ,so that should stick. Working out sucks,cause it's way easier to fall off the wagon . Thing to remember is to still enjoy life,a few beers here and there,a few whiskeys whatever . Don't deplete yourself of anything . Enjoy everything. Just be sensible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will end up a 1005 and I'm gonna have the 800 heads cut for 87 octane. Should make low 180's with the stock pipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f7ben Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 2 minutes ago, Frostynuts said: That is a big jump in cc s. Are you getting new bored out cylinders ? Nope , stock 1000 thundercat cylinders bolt right up. You then use ZR 700 pistons and a .050 base shim and a base gasket on either side of that shim. The 700 pistons are something like .070 taller from the pin to the crown so the port timing etc ends up correct. 65mm stroke and 81mm bore. Its basically just a stock thundercat motor with a .6mm longer stroke and a 2mm smaller wrist pin. Everyone says the 1005 runs harder than the stock 998 tcat motor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted April 2, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 2, 2017 Curious as to how hard the ZRT 600 runs....there is one in decent shape on CL for 500 bucks and I thought it might be a fun trail ride for short money. A buddy of mine had a new one but hell that was damn near 20 years ago...fuck I'm getting old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they made one with power valves in 01 or 02 and I bet that one runs well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the jetting and clutching setup right on that ZRT 600 and you'll be surprised. I lived on a lake when I had one and only the dialed in big bores could beat it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f7ben Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 srx was pretty bad ass for sure. I remember riding with a group of them down the river one time and I had the ole zr 600 doing over 100 on the speedo and one of those srx's passed me like I was towing an anchor. I could get them all out of the hole but they had probably 15-20mph on me on the big end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
