If I'm not mistaken, the stand he's using is nothing like a stock one, due to other modifications that precluded the use of the stock type.
You are correct Jim. Using a zx6 side stand mount. The zx6 side stand was way to short so I modified the already modified side stand I was using. Its s a long side stand, longer than the s series, but because everything on my bike has some sort of mod the ride height is excessive, which someday I will address maybe, it leans way to much.
Altered Images post gives me some ideas. Once you start modifying its like a 100 piece puzzle, once you change one piece your down the road!!!
It needs a dog leg of some sort.
Jim on the MPH I was rowing between 3 and 4th mostly on some good twisty back roads. The nice part is it now will pull nicely without the hiccup and its a bit more controllable in the turns I don't have to worry about the big hit where it was digging out of a big hole in the power band. Before it was a bit freighting existing corners if you were way leaned over, it would come on a bit fast or fall on its face, there seemed to be no good in between.
There is a hill near me where it would show the flat spot big time , in fifth it would actually loose speed now it actually gains speed up it in fifth, it is a big difference.
Like I said the low end is still about the same but I am no where near done jetting yet and the way it is running I dont really care.
I think Im going to try the Zeel again soon. That can make a big difference anywhere you want, Im just a bit worried about the problems I had until I put your iggy on, but seeing I have both now its a quick switch if problems a raise and I think I know the solution , need some signal pick ups from a yamaha 650 if I remember correctly.
