Anyone tested the 11.5:1?
I have 93mod XT600 and one Wiseco piston and cam/springs for this, its standard dim. I was wondering how it feel on the bike and what you guys think of the wear on the other parts when installing this?

I currently have an 11:1 Wiseco (96mm though)in my 3TB that is mostly rebuilt waiting valve work so I will find out how it works. I also have the high comp in another hybrid motor I'm building but it will be a bit till that bike is together.

So far just under 6k miles it's holding up fine . For a daily ride and long distance runner I'd stick to 10:1 to 10.5:1 max . Though mine has the small cc chamber head (first year or two 34L/K ) plus I had shaved some off the cylinder and head surfaces so it ended up closer to 12.5:1 . It does like to run hotter on the longer rides so a cooler is highly recommended . I run premium @ 91 octane , pings at lower grades. Another project I had wanted to try beside my EFI is a dual sparkplug , there is a place that one could be added and it would help the flame front , maybe really work good , it does on the 660 Raptors.

The stock carbs can't keep up with it and it goes flat at higher revs but has remarkable lowend right off idle , more than most other bikes I've owned , just doesn't stay that way all the way up . No problems running higher gearing . maybe the newer carbs will be better , don't know . I couldn't imagine what it would do with the CR31's or 33's .

My head gaskets like to leak , mostly just oil but I went to solid copper and it worked so far .
