I have a 1100 Classic, modifications to the engine I have made: High compression pistons, Mid range cams, heads port & polished, 39 mm carbs, air kit, Dyna 2000 ignition, AIS removal and Cobra Hi-Boy shotguns. I am experiencing the following problems: I am hearing a “chirpping noise” when I excellerate. The carbs also seem very tempermental. I can’t get them to dial in. When I ease up on the throttle it doesn’t seem to return to idle quick enough. Has anyone else expierenced any of these problems and can someone offer some suggestions to remedy them? I’ve had the bike dyno’d twice already and just cannot seem to get the carbs “dead on”.

runing the carbs. with the specs. from PCS,don’t have them here but can get them for you. The pipes are curently cobra hi-boy shot gun with custom made baffels,within the next week or so will have a pro-pipe. ordered a pipe for a honda took it to a welder and i’m making a Y-pipe that will mount to the cobra head pipes and still allow the Y heat sheild two fit,hopes this gives a little better performance. I’ll take a look at plugs and let you know.
Thanks,Shane

THIS POST IS IN RESPONSE TO A MEMBER THAT WANTED TO SELL HIS V-STAR 1100 AND PURCHASE A NEW HONDA VTX

STOP! Don’t do it.Just smoked a frends VTX not once but twice with my 1100, I have PCS monster kit installed and the bikes wild, my buddy even had a power commander,pipes and a k&N air kit installed on the VTX and it didn’t help, just rember bigger isn’t always better or FASTER.
Good Luck Ride Safe.

Hey ****,
Congrads on best of show. There’s nothing sweeter than a tricked out 1100 and yours was awesome. As for that carb conversion I will have to wait untill Sept. after Star Days. Yamaha will not allow me to change anything on the bike until the photo shoot is done. The first week of Sept. I’m going to drop the bike at Orient Express and try to squeeze out that extra few ponies, 90hp is the goal. I will definitely try to hook up with you for a ride.

Hey ****,
Right now with what I have done I have 76.8 hp. But here’s the deal:I have the old PCS flat top pistons in the bike. The new pistons are sitting on my desk. Right after Star Days I’m sending the bike down to Orient Express to have the new pistons installed. With the new pistons I should pull 8 to 10 hp more, which would give me 84 to 86 hp. Then with the custom 2 into 1 pipe and the manifold I’m hoping to get 90 hp or better. As far as the manifold goes, if everything tests out right I’m going to start producing them by November or December. I’m hoping to keep the cost at around $200.00 to $250.00. This price will include gaskets and a bracket to mount an air kit. When I’m done testing I’ll know what carb will work best to go with the kit. This kit will eliminate the need to sync the carbs and should add hp and substaical torque to the low end were it’s needed. The bike should be a screamer after I’m done. Now as far as my bike goes here’s a list of what it will have when complete, Hi compression pistons(10.6:1), mid range cams, head work, 2 into 1 manifold, carb unknown but most likely a 39mm, dyna ignition, big air kit and a 2 into 1 pipe. I think that’s it. It’s never ending. Thanks for the congrats, still can’t belive I made the calander. Way too cool.

Take special note to the above post, and note that the below post is the same post but with another Pipe comment added on 2/6/2004. He states that the power was made with his custom “PRO PIPE” . Continue to read when you get to 12/4/02 you will notice the pipe he is running still uses the rear exhaust elbow. Which means the Dyno numbers he got of 76.8 hp on 7/26/02, 78 hp on 9/6/02, and 87hp on 10/10/02 were without the ProPipe. (the large increase from 78 to 87 was due to the installation of the 10.6 to 1 pistons, and removal of the original 9.6 flat tops).

*****,
I do have pistons and cams. I have the flat top pistons that PCS was running in the beginning. The pistons I’m putting in next are the new 10.6.1 compression. Sorry for the confusion.

***, PCS did the head work on the bike. I ask Skip on the static pressure for you.

We will be doing a 25 to 30 percent boost. The bike is at 87rwhp now I’m changing the rear pipe so it comes out of the head and eliminates that little elbow. I am also installing Velocity stacks and removing the air filters. That sould put me over 90 at the rear then with the boost it should be about 115rwhp. Did you mean a 50 percent boost?

Nothing against PCS they put out a good product but thoses mods alone do not put the 1100 into the mid to high 80s by themselfs. This is what you need to get to mid 80s pistons, cams, heads p&p,39 mm carbs with torque masters, dyna, MAxair kit, a very good 2 into 1 pipe and a shop that can tune the bike. With out all that you’re not going to see the mid 80s. I have everything listed above to reach 87hp. Then just add our NOS kit and get 105 to 110HP!!
