K, went with the majority vote. First impression after riding sunday.
Open road thing just hauls ass wide open. All the power seems to be from slightly past half - 3/4 throttle and up (top end) not ideal range for hill climbing which is what I'll be doing most of the time. Had her in 2nd or 3rd gear on a 40/50 ft hill and thing just died half way up. Powerband just wouldnt grab quick enough and I stalled it. I need more bottom and mid range power.
Shee definitley has balls, but still needs to be "Fine Tuned" to my riding style. Here are the mods again.
Fast ported motor, 33 mm pwk, timing plate +4, new pistons and rings, cpi pipes, 15 or 16 tooth front sprocket.
I'm personally used to twist throttles from riding dirtbikes so the thumb throttle has to go first. Freaking thumb killer that thing is, its pretty tight too. For all I know it could be a simple throttle cable adjustment issue but I dont think so.
All that said, appreciate your insight on how to make this a killer hill climbing shee.
Thanks!
PS- Yes I jumped off, spun her around and saved it. But I hate it when I have to do that!
:biggrin:
