Hey guys I have a '80 Yamaha XS850 Triple. Its a clean bike, I've made it more cafe-ish and dig it. But I want more power! (As always). I love the bike, so saying I should buy a rocket is un-productive. I want to run e85. Its plentiful by me, and I know its awesome from my Turbo car. My goal is 100hp from 75 stock. I want it to stay a daily ride, but have that extra power. I think the solution is e85, with its high octane and cooling property's
Stock compression is 9:2:1, I want 13:1 or so. Along with a higher ignition advance, better carbs, and a cam grind, it should be there.
Issue... Apparently the highest compression I can go is 11:5:1... Because of piston valve reliefs?
How can I raise compression??? Any Ideas? You don't really see the benefits of e85 until you get 12:1 at least without forced induction.
This is purely a think tank, I will not be rebuilding her for a while. Let me here what you guys think!!!
