Should I port my Chaincase??

[Good to Go]

Not to get off topic...

But I read on another 4m that you can port your intake AND exhaust at the same time, WITHOUT taking the parts off...


Just add sand.

Quickie port and polish

If you don't port your chain case, you can't ride worth crap. The oil in the chain case (that is not ported) will cavitate and cause serious vibration. Porting is the only way to solve that problem

Ok- So you port your chaincase and shave off oil weight, and all that heavy metal. I can't see putting forth that effort without replacing your chain with a set of pantyhose, and porting your gas tank too.

I heart this mod saves an astounding 3/10ths of a pound too ....

XP chaincase

The old method of using a 45 to port the chaincase does not work for the XP. Most XP owners are either using a 9mm or 12 gauge. The 12 gauge is a lot quicker but I think a 9mm does a better job.

I just port the pantyhose out the front and all the beer leaks out.

You guys, quit screwing around everyone knows that only RACE porting of the chaincase shows the full 15Hp gain.

After you port it make sure Jonce fills it with whipped cream. It's much lighter than oil

Now that's the kind of advice I like to hear! I was slightly altered that night

I've heard the 9mm is factory recommended (for the warrenty)

In addition to porting your chain case remember you should put a green, blue, and, red power band on i've heard that combination gives an incredible gain of 500hp! The turbo apexes never saw you coming!

Two of my friends have had ported chaincases,one by a rock ,he made it back to the trailer somehow.It was only a couple miles.The second the drain bolt fell out on his cat ?We were stopped and wondered what the funny hot smell was.Maybe a little late night maintanance with some adult beverages had something to do with it? Luckily thru the wonders of duct tape and a rag plus the gear lube he just happened to have in his trunk we were able to get him back to the trail head

I can't figure out where to cut on the Diamond Direct?

BTW my friend replaced the chain on his 1M with a Goldwing Belt. Just a thought.

You guys are idiots. You need to use a thicker lube like bacon grease or lard. That way it doesn't all run out when you carve to the ported side.

Ported chaincase.......get with the times. Everybody knows that a ported drive belt is the new thing. Just take a 1/2" drill bit and drill holes all over your drive belt. This mod is not recommended on XP's though because a pine cone may get lodged in the drive belt and destroy the crankshaft.
