power and wheelies

Post by stormingjoe »

Mine will lift ugly head in 2nd on power, 3rd if naughty or bump, 4th and up stable, always quick shift to 2nd, now with manual ccts very eager in first 3 gears as before, top end a bit lacking 8500 on not so , much oomph. Seems to have less push over 8500 than before with honda cct's. Cracking engine though, can't get enough, addicted. Standard except rear sprocket down one tooth and reduced chain length! On 180 rear to edge, front 120, inch from edge?
1998 Firestorm, 47,000 miles, forks valved & sprung, proflex shock +4mm over standard, manual ccts', k&n, 50#slow 185#/190# mains, front carb slide mod, R6 throttle tube, Tank raised, Viper cans, Coerce fork brace, EBC lite front discs & pads.
