So as the title states:
2017 Axys 800, SLP pipe and can setup vs. stock, losing RPM in climb...
Details: Picked up 2017 Axys last spring, about 800 miles on it. Stock exhaust pipe.
Hit some spring climbs with varying snow conditions, sled held a strong 8100+ RPM all the way out the top. Sweet.
Month or so ago put an SLP pipe and can on my sled along with 66 gram weights custom ground to 65 grams. Everywhere I rode, seemed to work great, able to hit and maintain 8350+ but no long sustained full throttle climbs.
Last Thursday, same area as I rode last year stock where it pulled 8100 consistently, but it was colder and a bit more powdery (<32 degrees), now I have the SLP pipe and can on the sled with 65 gram weights, everything else stock. Long sustained climbs (probably 1000+ feet vertical elevation change), WFO, straight shot or partial sidehill, same result, as I crested the top and glanced at the tach, in the 7000s, as low as 7550 once.
Tempted to go back to stock and go ride there again... but technically we are in "shelter in place" now, and not supposed to do outdoor rec that might result in emergency services needing to be called... plus it is 2 hours plus drive from home.
Mileage on sled is now over 1100, thinking it might be a drive belt issue so next ride (if there is one) I will break in the spare, also possibilities are motor mounts (I should be able to check those myself?)... I really hate to go down the clutching road, been there done that with the 860 Carls Dragon and I was always chasing springs and weights and secondary springs...
Any more ideas?
