Looking for some advice.

Just picked up a set of Bender pipes for my 20001 SXR600. Over the summer I want to rejet the carbs and possible play with the clutches.

I am currently running 135 (PTO), 132.5(Middle), 132.5 (Mag) for Mains, with 42.5 Pilots across the board. I ride between 500- 1000 ft. above sea level. What jetting changes will I need to make with the Bender pipes?

I currently run a Team Roller secondary with the Red/Dark bLue spring with a 52/42 helix. In the primary I have 8CHs each weighing in at 42 grams. I will no doubt need to add weight to primary. Any idea how much. Leave the secondary alone?

Looking for other's experience.

Thanks in advance!!

Hey Fan,how much did those Bender pipes cost you and where did you get them?What is your top speed now without them.Today I hit 165km's on the Red River.Stock weights with 4.5 in inner and outer holes.1 1/4 ripsaw,head gasket mod,carbon fibre reeds and spacers,can mod,stock jets I assume. 19/39 gears also.She is real snappy off the line,I just love it.I pin it all the time,motor is so strong.If I installed the triple pipes,probably get another 20 HP and a little more speed.Got over 9000 km on her now,still good as new.
 
Hey Blue,

Been sick with a bad cold all weekend. Didn't even feel like riding. Was cruising on eBay and stumbled across the Bender pipes. They had a "Buy it Now" of $250.00 US!! I've seen the price for used pipes really get stupid, so I emailed the guy, felt comfortable that they were in good shape, and bought them. Now I have my summer project!!!

I'm going to get them ceramic coated by a guy in Tyndall. Does a nice job and they stay nice (no rusting).

I may do the head gasket mod too. The pipes should add 20-25 HP which will make it even more snappy. I may pull the heads off and replace the pistons and rings because I'm at 9200 Kms. Put on 3000 this year. I don't want to add the pipes and then blow it up with the extra power. I'll see.

I'm certainly not getting 160 Km/hr like you. My speedo is telling me 145Km/hr, but I ride with a guy who runs an Apex, and he clocks me at 155 Km/h + on his. Maybe mine reads low? Did you notice a higher top end with the head gasket mod??? I'd be interested to know.

Cheers,

Id be interested in getting my benders coated, maybe they could cut a deal on 2 sets? I will also be doing rings, and pistons if they are not in spec this year. My milege is pretty much the same as yours, i also just turned 9000kms on Sunday, and ill probaly ride to work once or twice this week. Let me know if we could maybe work out something on the pipe coating.
