I live in Tokyo Japan.
You have nice 550.
I read the thread.
It is very difficult to install 4 valve to 2 valve Engine.
Because piston forms and crankshaft..etc very different.
If you want more power,use the Wiseco piston and Keihin or Mikuni flat-valve carburetor.
I think Flat-valve cab is very effective for ZR.

Tue, any muppet can throw a big wedge of cash at some Harley to win street cred, mainly among non-bikers or the back patch 1% headbangers-all who started on jap bikes anyway.

building an old kawi is my idea of street cred, each to their own though (smiley)

As for 16 valves -personally I much preferred the 'tune' of a gpz11 to a gsx11.
That mental red line arm wrenching rpm power always seems faster than the ruler straigh tourque cure of a gsx - a lot of racers will disagree here i know.
Had them both.

Thank you for all the information, Evilride. It's a shame that it's so difficult to change to a 4 valve engine - that would have been a fun project. But I did see some interesting modifications in the link you shared, including a modified 650cc engine (www.mars.dti.ne.jp/~tu-121/). 73 horsepower would be amazing!! :woohoo: Is there a kit to buy or was that project all custom work? I have only seen Wiseco 615 kits before.
