got a quick road ride in saturday, put on about 20 miles.
immediately noticed gearing was terrible, 35 mph in 5th max.
carb heater and thermo worked good, not sure if I will need to restrict the bypass flow or not, thoughts?
smart carb choke is worthless, ordered a primer today.
vibration is bad, my fuel spray bottle rattled apart in my tunnel bag, good thing I had it though because it was zero degrees out and like I said smarty choke does nothing.
bike ran good maybe a touch lazy on the bottom, but topend seemed great! too cold out to swap carbs,maybe next time.
destroyed a dual runner center ski runner, good thing I got a triple pointer from snowbikekits.com to put on once we get more snow.
rekluse is nice on snow I see no drawbacks, nice but not necessary. I put in the blue exp springs, will be changing to gold for highest engagement.
I reversed the chaincase gears for more speed for the next ride, and took out the short keys and put the long ones back with red loctite on the bolts, will go from there to dial climbing gear, might have to use the secret weapon 16 tooth somewhere in the system. We got a good bit of snow, but 20 below zero made it sugar, the ski would just cut right to the bottom! All in all worth it to find out about the gearing and get out and about!
