Hey Neil, no problem with doing it, its fun.My 900S2 bevel probably puts out 75hp and its still together. Just some guys aren't aware of the downside thats all. You'll probably have it for years without complaint. If your good to it and only really give it to it when the fun brian takes over, it should last for heaps. The cases are the weak point in the whole shabang. Aluminum Alloys fatigue. Thats life.

Later models have adjustable pullies as standard. Have a chat to a mechanic about which ones. 748 ones will fit your cams not sure about 749's, and may be cheaper than Vee2's.

A part number for the new ones would be good !
Or a price, I guess, and then we can compare with v2 price.

If I remember while I'm at the shop tomorrow, I'll get one.
If its under a $1000 they leave us alone with import duty. That is why they call this the lucky country. Got no water but! How lucky is that!

Hi, On the import duty front, if you get the sender to mark the parcel as a gift, sampels or free of charge, then the revenue boys aren't to interested! So iv'e been told, not that i would do this myself, you must understand! as it would be dishonest and we can't have that can we?

Well went to the shop, looked at the catalogo. Adjustable pullies came out on the 998. AUD$300+ each pully. The good news is they were not designed for the the quick cam timing changes, but rather to speed up factory setup time. The Blob says woodruff keys are the way to go. But he would. Because he has a secret supplier of the no longer factory made keys. I guess it boils down to how much you want to play around (tinker) with cam timing. Hope this is of help.


Steve we keep the rate down to 4p so when you guys come over you think you are all millionaires at currency exchange counter. Then you buy your first beer and the illusion is shattered. Hence distroying your moral fiber. Its our way of getting back at you lot for bodyline cricket and rabbits.
