Got the rdd head and man what an increase in power!!

Post by tandel.pankaj »

Hi,
After sending the rdd head back to lower the compression, got it back the same from Ron sir (hats off to him for redoing the work for me).
Now the bike is pretty peppy with the indonesian barrels. I am pretty amazed with this. Because with the 5 speed head, power was felt only after 6-7k rpm but now the power starts from 4k onwards ..............man its owesome.Thanks Ron sir for this head mod.
But I observed 1 thing before installing it...........that in this rdd head, when the spark plug is fully tightened almost 1 thread is exposed in the chamber.
Will it damage the threadings of the head if carbon gets accumulated on the spark plug threads after some time????

Hi glad you like it.
This is my 12th attempt at a design that will work on the RXK barrels.
Karthink I have given your head the same mod.

Yes if we rework it multiple times half a thread to 1 thread will get exposed.
You have two options
1. Run an extra spark plug washer.
2. File down the last thread
