TeamRealtreeHD Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 I was looking at my plugs and going off of how it felt, and how they looked. I would get a local ported banshee by a couple bikes. I did a plug chop, at 160 mains, saw I was a tad lean, and went to 165 mains, and the thing just kills... raced the same bike today and I walked all over it. Basically the same mods, but mine was done by Kevin at HJR and his was done by a local machine shop. I went up on the mains, even though the bike felt and the plugs looked like it didn't have to... but the plug chop said to do it. I am happy I did. I would highly recommend it... 3-4 bikes turned into me 8 bikes ahead letting off the gas in 4th gear knowing it could have been 10-12. PLUG CHOP all the way!!! I chopped them too... and they are exactly at 2mm golden brown with the 165's. I chopped 160's yesterday and it showed 1.25mm. I know what a good plug should look like and they looked good at 158's. Let alone it ran great. Who would have thought? The plug chop is the way to go... find what it needs. Kevin at Herr Jugs Racing can do a motor. I highly recommend sending them out instead of having the Average Joe do it. Quote
shee4speed Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 I'm waiting for new carbs now. I will def. be doing the chop now to verify jetting. And I'll agree 100% that HJR can do some knarley port work. Quote
dhopkins99 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 Chop till you drop!! Ngk are laughing all the way!! Quote
TeamRealtreeHD Posted August 22, 2008 Author Report Posted August 22, 2008 I am done chopping... I found where it goes, and I ride in the same weather all the time. Bike comes out in May and goes back in the garage in September. No need to change for me. I spent 8 bucks to make that big of a difference. And the difference between a small guy home town port and a big engine builder like HJR is night and day... Quote
shee4speed Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 Chop till you drop!! Ngk are laughing all the way!! Just go to RMATV and buy a box of plugs for like 20.00 and go to town. I'm thinking thats the way to go instead of paying for dyno like some dude do. Quote
