No way! Those huge pilot jets are the secret to my power! :razz:
OK, how about 40 pilots, up from the stock 38s... I blame cut-&-paste for the error.
Jim, you're absolutely right - as are all the people who keep pointing out the bike has more than enough power already. :wink: It was more just surprise that there was so little difference between a drilled airbox and 120s, and pod filters w/ 130s. It just goes to show I guess that there's only so much extra hp to be coaxed from jetting and airbox mods.
The flat spot got bigger (leaner) - from about 15 to about 16.5... and it moved lower on the powerband - it now peaks at 4600rpm instead of 5500. Remember though that I also added pod filters and a new exhaust to the equation.
The air/fuel ratio is pretty even everywhere else, right at 13.5, though it climbs back to 15 at wide-open throttle. I could maybe use 132s or something, but I'm not sure it's worth the hassle.
I hope to eliminate (or at least reduce) the flat spot by raising the needles one notch - hopefully that won't make me too rich at 6000rpm.
So I've been reading up on the green cam swap, and I'm feeling a bit intimidated. It looks like there may be some valve adjustment involved, and a gasket or two to replace. As far as adjusting the valves, it looks like I might need new shims... where does one find such a thing? Anybody? Are they universal, or bike-specific? Where do people go for gaskets these days?
I'm afraid of getting the engine apart and then having to wait 6 weeks while the dealer tracks down the bits I need...
