Just try to keep it under 120 and you should be OK.

Haven't I heard RB and Bill Baxter say this occurs right before the lock up? :o

I did notice this effect with a big V8 once, running better than ever just before the "bang".


I know this too Jim but did not want to mention it. But as some of you know, if mine blows up I'll just fix it - I don't care :e11


Didn't mean to jinx you on this Barry; mine is running great today as well; feel like I just dodge a bullet 8-)

That's about what I figured. You might want to use the new pipes for that.

Actually the gearing ended up almost exactly 100:1. I did go for a 40 mile "putt", took a backroad with a few nice sweepers. But "crusin" at 60mph, is 6000 rpm, so it was a bit buzzy..... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Came home and decided to try out my new lathe, I like it! :thumbup: And obviously watched MotoGP, and WSB. It was a great motorcycle day for sure. :clap: :clap: :clap:
