RPMS at clutch release? Backfiring, JC Whitney mufflers.
I have a question about what your RPM's should be as you fully release the clutch when pulling away from a light. It seems to me like my T-bird doesn't like it if my tach is under 2,000 RPM's when I release the clutch. If I let it out at around 1,500 RPM's it seems like the 3 cyclinders are choking. 2,000 to 2,200, she purrs like a kitten. I'm hoping it's not something wrong with the engine. This is my first manuel transmission on a motorcycle, so I just want to see what the norm is.
I've been really happy since I up-graded to the Thunderbird. The only thing that bothers me about the motorcycle is the baffles in the mufflers, (it sounds like a bunch of loose washers in a pipe, and there is a high pitch squeak once in a while) and it's started backfiring thru the exhaust when I down shift.
I've been thinking about getting some cheap mufflers from JC Whitney, $24.99 each side, has anyone else bought these mufflers? The only complaint I've seen is that they turn blue at highway speeds. Ron.
