anyone know if this head would bolt on to my Kitaco 124SE? Maybe need this piston?



I am not much of a motor guy... just basics.



Thanks

you don't have a pic of the cam. How much was the kit, I am seriously thinking of getting it but I don't have a clue how much they are going for.

 

You have a standard superhead as well, correct?



Can you compare the superhead and Superhead +R tappet covers andtell me if the bolt holes on the tappet covers line up? I understand the tappet covers are a different shape, but are the bolt holes spaced the same that hold on the tappet cover?



I need to know if a bracket I have to mount the oil cooler under the motor has a chance at fitting, as Takegawa won't be making that bracket for awhile, and hopefully the standard superhead bracket will be close to fitting and will just need minor machine work..



Thanks in advance.



Nice looking piece of technology there. How long before it gets copied by one of the low-rent manufacturers?

one thing that sucks is that im going to have to buy a takagawa clutch cover so i'll have oil taps for the oil cooler cause no one in america has the oil tap that go's on the stock takagawa trans oil filter cover.

 

The lobe lift is .238 on that cam. Assuming you have the s-12 cam. Look in the manual at the 5 other cams for that head though

 

Look how high the pin to deck height is on that piston. Why do you guys think they went to a shorter rod on these kits? BTW, the valves are actually layed down more on this head. Very slightly more.

 

nice sh!t. so whats the word on that track, cause i can't wait to see that thing run. it's going in a 70 right?

 

The 124 comes with the S20 cam. The rest of the smaller displacement kits come with the S15 cam.

 

anyone know if two brothers has their's in yet?

 

i wish this kit would come out for the klx110 already.

Looks like they had no choice, if they ran the rings up any higher, there would be very little metal supporting the ring lands by the valve pockets.

 

I have two 88 kits and a 106 kit here all with the s12 cam. One thing that I have noticed is that the valve springs appear to be of a progressive rate. Coils are wound more tightly at one end. Ohh, and notice the picture of his rockers, they are sitting on the parts list which says s-12 cam. I guess Takegawa puts the small cam in all of them so they can suck some more $$$ out of us later.

 

two bros says 8 weeks to order any of the optional cams. What a bunch of morons, they got all these heads in and no replacement parts or optional accessories.

That's interesting. Two bros. must be either ordering the different cams, or Takegawa switched the specs from what they just revised on their website.



Takegawa shows the S20 cam with the 124's and S15's with everything else.



I do know on their first production run they had a 100% recall, but none of those kits made it to the US market. Lots and Lots of kabooms, and they had to retool the head.

 

Thats just great because I just voided the warranty beyond the shadow of a doubt on the first one

 

has any one gotten one of these + r's on a dyno yet to see what they will pull? also is that the piston they gave you with the kit ibmike?

 

Am I the only one that see's the issue here??

Look closely...

 

oop, nevermind, small 4" PDA screen playing tricks on my eyes again.

It looked like there wernt any valves in the seats and that the threads fro the plug were half way into the seats. My fault.

 

Looks like an ill kit!! Keep us posted on how it preforms!

I was staring at the pic of the valves for like 10 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong.

 

heres what the piston for my superhead + r looks like sorry for the poor quality.

wonder why i got this style piston its super super light

 

yeah I was also looking at the thread for the plug and it is cut into the valves a little. but with all this hype I wanna see this kit prove it self and not from some china video saying its 20hp in a what ever engine it was suppose yo be.

 

i'm going to go to a memorial race and this supermoto at the begining of next week then i'm going to pull my dohc top end off and inspect it and get another set a rings to refreshen her up a lil. in the mean while i'm going to slap that + r on there as is break it in and take it to the dyno and see what it actually has.

 

nice man
