Isotropic Surface Finishing |

Less Friction and Less Heat....Means....More Horsepower and Longer Life
Isotropic Surface Finishing
ISF is not an application or any surface coating, but more a surface treatment.... ISF has been successful on many Formula 1 and NASCAR engines, where frictional losses are a serious concern. Where we, as ATV enthusiast, can benefit is when we surface finish selective engine components to improve the longevity of the part by reducing the surface friction and shear tension when machined parts come in contact. After treatment, the overall surface becomes a highly polished part. Obviously, reducing surface heat decreases parasitic drag on performance parts, but will also reduce the heat generated within your engine.
What does this mean for us? Well, for the 06+ 450R's ISF is a great tranny modification to prevent failure of the OEM power pressed tranny gears flaking apart due to excessive operating temperatures... You've heard the rumors where some 06+ 450R transmissions are failing caused by improper cooling.... ISF' treating any transmission can actually reduce run temperatures and drag thus increasing your power output....
Also, you can ISF treat just about any internal engine part- except bearings.... (Speaking of bearings, check out my 'Ceramic Bearing' page.)
I can treat crankshafts, camshafts, cam sprocket gears, exhaust rockers, drive gears, connecting rods, shift forks, shift drums, counter balancer gears...
Doesn't costs much either,.... Cost for tranny ISF treatment is typically $250, plus return shipping. Usually takes about one week turnaround time. |

Above is ISF treated transmission. All parts including drum, shift forks, thrust washers, shafts, and gears are treated. |

Above is ISF treated engine gears. You can even treat counter- balancers, oil pump gears, driven gears, and countershaft sprockets. Notice the surface shine on a dark OEM gear? |
