Will Dual Spark Heads Fit a ST2?

**nel5on** · 16 Apr 08, 08:28 PM

Read somewhere that Dual Spark heads can add over 5hp and up to 10hp on a std mtr...

Will any D/S heads fit on my ST2? I think ST2's are water cooled heads? Could I get the head machined otherwise. I'm sure someone will know....

Was just thinking its a easy way to add Hp over next winter if I can get heads at the right cost.

Are you thinking of fitting heads from,say a Multistrada or similar?
Not heard of that one before.
I have seen standard heads that have been converted to twin plug,....but that was on a 900SS.Give Baines Racing a shout,...they have loads of experience on the matter.

None of the air cooled heads will fit the ST. The water cooling assumption is the right one. You might see a couple of bhp from twin sparking, but nothing like 5 or 10, not without further work to the heads and/or cams etc.

Thanks Nelly,

What about High/Comp(11:1) pistons, my bike is chipped and has pipes, would it need anything additional work well with the H/C pistons?
