price on riva cylinders

[justride]

How much would you pay for a 61x riva top end with porting, 85mm flat-top pistons and riva head. this is coming off of a race ski..would this be a good cylinder or is stock 701 better for just playing around..
later,

I don't know about the price, but I have RIVA "pump gas ported" 61X and it runs well, but it's not a freestyle type of powerband - it doesn't hit right off the bottom. Midrange and top end are quite strong, depending on how you set the water injection screws on The FPP pipe.

Having said that, I sent mine to Paul at JR Magoos & he was about to bring the hit down to where it's OK for freestyle now.:smile: Still not ~right~ off idle but close enough for srf use.:sneaky:

 

[justride]

O.K.
sounds like it could be a good set up, I just don't want to over pay for this stuff, It's coming of a expert ski racer that has moved over to a sxr, so he's sell some superjet stuff..

is 1200.00 to much to pay for this set-up

Yes. For that money, you can have a complete Magoo topend.

Yes what Matt said. I second that.

I paid $900 for a simialar setup......TLR freestyle ported, brand new 85.5mm flat tops, greater yamaha head with 2 sets of domes. Everything in exclent shape. Hope this helps, id say $1200 is on the high side, or I just got a good deal, not realy sure.

 

[Matt_E]

And for 900, you got a freestyle port - that Riva port is not a freestyle port.

OP, save your money. It's several hundred dollars overpriced, once you compare what else you can get.

 

[justride]

so any race port cylinder set up for over 1000.00 is not a good deal..

 

[Mark44]

Are you going to race or freeride? If you want to race go SXR. If you want to freeride go with freestyle porting.

It's too much for a used topend.

For approximately the same amount, you can get a new topend that's actually what you want.

 

[Big Kahuna]

this will not be a good setup for playing around............. unless you like arm ripping top end with little to no bottom, plus, this motor would require alot more maintenance and rebuilds.

 

[Marshj]

I gotta ask ya? Is it just Riva Porting or a 'Riva 7 port Race Cylinder"???:sneaky:

 

[Zach310]

That might not be a bad price. There is a lot of $ into some of those race motors. I am just selling a speedworx race ported motor for about the same. My set up didn't hit bad on the bottom. Its going on a buddies blaster with just a single 44 or 46, factory pipe and msd enhancer. He doesnt' freestyle just plays around with his ski and wants more power... it all depends on what you want

 

[Matt_E]

It's not a complete motor, it's only a topend.
It's too much money for a used topend.

 

[madoyster]

I have a Riva Race Cylinder that I have never used make me an offer. :biggthumpup: I'll post pics if interested.

 

[justride]

it's just riva porting

MY bad the dude, was talking about the top end, so I figured that's what he was selling, This price is for the hole engine, cases, crank, top end, head..

 

[Mark44]

Now that’s a better deal but still not the porting you want for freeride, you could always sell the cylinder on ebay and port another cylinder for freeride.

$1200 is a deal if this is the Tim Judge port job and 85mm flattop setup. This is what I run and it rips on bottom, mid and top. I paid $1000.00 for cylender , near new pistons and speedwerx head. Just know it is higher maintinence do to the wiesco pistons ($180.00 ea.) cracking every season. Is this jetskicrazy / Paul selling this set up?
