  1. I moved my pegs back over the winter myself. Have only ridin it a few times in the back yard so far. First thing I noticed was a better riding position and WAY F#@KING MORE traction. Almost looped it in front my 10 year old son, goosed it and it stood straight up.......LOL He ribbed me for quite a while about that. Felt like a different bike......seriously. I went -2-2 on the footpegs, -3 on the shifter and brake pedal. Tucked in the brake pedal also so now i dont hit the brake evertime I move my feet around. Stuck out way to much before now its more like riding a dirt bike where you catch the pedal with the inside of your boot as opposed to the front tip of your foot. check
  2. ok, I have read the jetting faq 5 times, even printed it out and sitting on my work bench. played with the bike the other night and couldnt get it to idle right. Im still breaking in a new top end so i didnt play with it to much or rev the dog snot out of it. heres the run down. bike ran great last season (stock motor, t-5s, uni filter, chopped air box lid, toomey jet kit) bike has 25 pilots and 290 mains now, and 450 feet above sea level. over the winter redid the topend vito power pistons .020 over, cut head .030, lightened flywheel(thanks boonman), ported reed cages myself with stock reeds and cleaned up the jugs(I mean clean up too, no material removal, just polished the exhaust port and intake from casting marks and flaws). bike starts up fine, but when i blip(1/8 throttle) the throttle it high idles and wont stop until I touch the gas again then it will idle down. I gave it half choke and it stops high idling but you can tell its a little to rich at half choke(doesnt rev clean and blows smoke) also when i rev the bike(1/4 to 1/2 throttle) it wants to stall when the rpms come down and I have to give it a little gas again to keep it from stalling. I sprayed all the parts intersections with WD so i dont think there are any air leaks. so in conclusion from reading the jetting faq I am going up one size on the pilot to a 27.5 and raising the needle one clip and leaving the main alone as I believe the high idling is from it being to lean. I know I have to fittle with it as all bikes are different but I thought I would post this and see what you guys think? Opinions and constructive critisizms are welcome. Tell me what you think as I want to order some jets from magic racing to get it tuned in correctly, but figued I would post this first to see what size jets I need to put on the order list. Thanks in advance guys as I know the jetting questions can get quite fustrating with all the jetting posts we get. I figured what the hell though, everybody else and there grandmother asks about jetting so why shouldnt I. check

  6. well if he crossed your lane he "impeeded the flow of traffic" I wouldnt sweat it, if what happened is what you said its his fault. Doesnt matter if you tried to stop or not, if you were speeding, whatever. you had the right of way check
  7. why can they use a 1 piece crank with a 2 piece rod, like a car? im sure they could figure out how to make a 2 piece roller bearing for the rod. check
  8. im waiting on my shocks to see how mine sits. hopefull its ok. got leagers arms and custom axis shocks. just dont want it sitting to low hitting everything in my way. check
  9. typically advancing the timing gives you more bottom end and retarding the timing gives on more top end. good rule of thumb for NOS is 2 degrees retard for every 75hp. so a 400 shot and a car motor youd want to retard the timing 10-11 degrees when the juice comes on, but all motors are different on the timing they like. check
  10. Demon, Funny you mentioned that as I already had you in mind.....LOL Anybody that needs springs, dunedemon is the man! Cheap, fast, and can figure out what you need. Give him a shout check
