The Real, "NO BS" Story OF SSCUSCYC

Many people have asked us about comments they have heard or read about our V-Star 1100 Performance parts and the slanderous comments made by SSCUSCYC (We don't use his actual company name here, because he is afraid to stand behind his comments and threatened legal action against us, so rather than deal with his BS, we chose to use the name he publicly displayed on a international public forum. But, with just a little bit of imagination and adding a couple of missing letters, one can possibly easily determine what company this is). Hopefully this page will help you when choosing a company as you are planning on your engine upgrades. Yes, most of these comments (mis-spellings and all) are actually an endorsement about the performance of our products, but more importantly it says volumes about integrity. We certainly have no problem with competition, and feel it is very healthy and beneficial for you, the consumer. But our concern is that our products, now offered and sold by SSCUSCYC, have clearly been developed and copied with the R&D and $$$ of Pacific Coast Star and other reputable companies. (read more at the bottom of this page for additional comments)

Comments shown in Yellow are actual changes made to posts by SSCUSCYC at a later date in order to attempt to "revise" and skew the information he previously posted to try to cover up his "errors" (aka. "BS"). Comments shown in White are from us for further clarification as needed. ENJOY!

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”.

*** thanks for the info I put stock carbs back on the bike chirping noise went away.I’m glad its not just me having trouble tuning the carbs ,I’ve had the bike dinoed twice now and its close, but just not dead on.Also wondering if you have had your bike dinoed ,I have the original pistons from PCS and I’m only geting 74.8,Greg at PCS said the new 10.6 piston will bump it up to 85hp. just wondering ? NO PRO-PIPE USED HERE NOTE REGARDING THIS POST: We put this post up that SSCUSCYC edited with the "pipe" comment (shown in Yellow). The original post dated 5/30/02 did not state that. The comment in yellow was added 2/6/04 after SSCUSCYC realized we had compiled his posts.

**** 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

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. Shane,Star Chapter 157

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. Shane

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. Shane

****, You can easily get that HP and torque out of an 1100. All you need to do is pipes, jetting,air kit and dyna 2 or 3000. With the addition PCS monster kit (pistons,cams.carbs)you can expect 85hp. The 1100 almost unbeatable.Good luck. Shane Don’t forget the pipe 8HP from the pro pipe!!! Take away the pipe ya have mid 70s NOTE REGARDING THIS POST: The original post dated 8/13/02 did not state the words in Yellow. This comment was added 2/6/04 after SSCUSCYC realized we had compiled his posts. Note: 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 here still uses the very restrictive rear exhaust elbow. Which means the Dyno numbers he got above on 7/26/02 (76.8 hp), and will get (below) on 9/6/02 (78hp), and on 10/10/02 (87hp ) were without the ProPipe. So, the large increase from 78 to 87 was due to the installation of the our new 10.6 to 1 pistons, and removal of the original 9.6 flat tops.

Next, This is a post TO SSCUSCYC asking for information. His answer is after that in the following 2 posts.

I’m curious, how did you get to 80 hp with an 1100? I’m just starting to customize and would love to hear how you did it.

*****, 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. Shane

Here’s the setup I’m running: pistons, mid-range cams, 39mm carbs. This will give you what your looking for. You should dyno in at 84 to 86 hp. I have the old flat top pistons that PCS was using and I’m at 78 hp. The top speed of the bike is 127 mph. No need to port the heads. I actually lost torque doing that, so save the thousand dollars for something else. You will not be disapointed. Shane

I don’t know about this purple thing. Mine didn’t seem to girly at 87hp to the rear wheel or when Yamaha picked it for there 2003 calendar. What color was your bike? Shane 1100-V(PURPLE HAZE)

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? Shane

****, With the 9.6.1 pistons and having the elbow on the rear head I was geting 78hp. When I changed the pistons and tuned the carbs a little better I got 87 on the best run. With the change to the Hard Krome head pipe we’re looking for at least 3 hp more. So with the change from the Thunder Header to the Hard Krome pipe you should be just over 80. Maybe even a little better because your useing the tail that comes with the pipe. Please e-mail me after you dyno the bike. I would like to know how big of a differance the pipe makes. Shane

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!!

The Following is a response to the previous post by another forum member who noticed the inconsistencies in the comments made by SSCUSCYC. It's quite informative...

Shane, I'm following a couple of your post, and somewhere your numbers don't add up. The kit you are running to get 87 hp IS the PCS monster kit. 10.6 to 1 pistons, P&P, mid range cams, Dyna box and 39 mm flat slide carbs. You didn't mention anything else. And for GOD's SAKE, how are you running the MAX air kit AND the 39 mm carbs at the same time. Are you running one OEM carb and one flat slide carb, or are you running four carbs. The only thing you list that is not PART of the Pacific Coast Star Monster kit is the torque cones. Big deal. I have the PCS kit and have dyno'ed at 87 hp. So your "respectful" debasing of PCS products, is only being done to bolster your claims, and not based on honesty. What you said in your post is -- you can't get 87 hp from The PCS monster kit, unless you are running the PCS monster kit. *******

More posts could have been added here to show how SSCUSCYC continued to promote lies about PCS. All of these above comments were made on a public forum, and are available for anyone to read and verify. We did not edit any of the post, but we did remove the names of other people (shown with a ****). Please take a careful look, the dates in the above timeline will show SSCUSCYC cannot correct information that was already posted and automatically time stamped by the forum he posted on. This page is in no way an attack, but rather a defense to many false allegations by SSCUSCYC towards PCS on several Public forums. SSCUSCYC attempts to say they have "no BS" in there products, well after your read the above page, you decide. Please contact us directly with any questions. Thank you, PCS.
