       You can get everything from Patrick Racing for way less than
       that. ECU can be programmed by Michael.

       Has anyone gone down the patrick racing road? Thinking of Hi
       comp pistons, head/valve job and possibly cams. Any thoughts/
       advise. Despite baltic weather here. N Ireland, went for a good
       wee run today.

       Yes, I have. When we write something on a forum or email its
       really easy to make it sound not quite what you wanted and give
       false impression.
       You mention "possibly cams" If, on any engine you were upping
       compression and doing head work a cam is part of that whole deal
       as you are really altering the original specs.
       That suggests you dont have a clear idea of what you are getting
       into and I just want to (with great respect) point that out.
       If you do go down this track then it is Pistons, cam, ecu
       reflash, exhaust and intake improvements at least. If you add in
       headwork then you go for the full job which includes bigger
       valves and hi lift springs.
       Happy to offer advice.
       cheers Graeme

       Just a question re. your tuning work; Will you increase the max
       revs, and by how much?
       Only curiosity.

       Thx for reply. I have heard that 500 extra rpm is on the cards.
       Hi comp pistons should make a good difference though in
       conjunction with other mods. I have done quite a few car engine
       rebuilds (mostly classic mini and fiat twin cam.... yes I am
       quite old ;D,  and gained a lot of hp/torque by doing a lot of
       small improvements rather than one big one. That's why i ask,
       has anyone done this or similar and does it make a good
       noticeable difference?

       I picked up what is supposed to be a Stage 3 Patrick fitted 2005
       MT last year - although it needs a full exhaust to make the most
       of it. My right wrist dyno says it pulled harder earlier and to
       the redline on the ride home from Brummyworld to Kent than my
       Stage 2 2011 MT. Unfortunately, i haven't had a chance to ride
       since getting it back and i'm currently not getting back on the
       bike until my knee gets fixed!
       The seller claimed a full Patrick S3 with valves, oversize
       pistons etc.
       B-)

       Hi, 500revs is what you get with either a stage 2 or 3 reflash.
       The standard engine has no top end and improving exhaust and
       intake along with a minor reflash (t4,s special version) is
       about all you can do. Still no top end but a bit more elsewhere.
       If you do anything to engine, do the whole job. Hc pistons or
       overbore will do stuff-all by themselves.
       If you do the patrick thing then do the hc pistons, cam kit
       (which includes different lifters) and the full head job which
       includes larger valves, higher lift springs and porting. You
       cant use their cam with standard head. Because of the different
       lifters you also need their adjustable pushrods and the pushrod
       covers which are needed for the initial bleeddown. (these covers
       lift up for adjustment of pushrods)
       You get an engine with a really strong top end and still plenty
       everywhere else. It runs very well with no bad habits.
       I call the whole patrick job a stage 4 engine because the
       original yam s3 kit did not include any head work.
       You can include 43mm intake manifolds and injector bodies from a
       stratoliner (wreckers USA)
       For all the effort the result is not that great but I have no
       complaints. Patrick use changeover parts for some bits and the
       cams can be from stratoliner for them to modify. They offer a
       couple of options for going oversize. I went to the largest
       without a resleeve cause happened to pick up a set easily so
       bike is now an 1775.
       A personal report on how it goes? Well it happens I just did a
       day at phillip island gp circuit in december. I have never been
       on a racetrack and went through california superbike school. All
       have to start at level one which is not a full on track day as
       they have a program of things to work through.
       Still no worries about hammering it down the straight (which you
       all know from tv) and I wasnt coming through turn 12 very hard
       but still hit the 6000 limiter in top about 100 metres before
       the bridge. Thats 235kmh I think (they cover your speedo) and
       its a strong pull all the way.
       I would be very careful of any thing bought second hand that
       says its s3 or patrick and if patrick then it needs to have all
       the bits like the hydraulic lifters. Happy to help with any
       advice. Here we are on dec 17 ;D
