Haven't really ripped on it yet, only have maybe 25 miles on so far, and I haven't ridden it since early November. Making sure everything feels solid since not only did I have the motor out, but the complete front end was apart also to change trees. Everything feels great. Runs not much differently than I remember under normal riding, except a little different exhaust tone. The couple times I did crack the throttle definitely woke me up. But it doesn't burp, fart, or otherwise do anything weird. Which is good. I'll put a few more miles on, change the oil, and this weekend should be able to get out and really get a feel of it.

Yeah, especially considering my last build maxed out at 98tq, and this one never drops that low. I can't wait to see what it feels like when I really twist it.

You're going to love it. Same reaction. Felt the same until i cracked the throttle then it's completely different.

Default Nice Build

Nice numbers your build very similar to what I am planning. Was that Dyno just a break in dyno until you get more miles on it?

Fully tuned, ready to go. I was advised to be relatively nice to it the first few hundred miles, keep it below 4500 rpm or so for the most part, and don't get it too hot by getting stuck in traffic.

I changed the oil tonight and took it out for a cruise. Got into the throttle at about 30 mph, and even short shifting I hit 80 almost before I knew what happened.

This thing is a beast.

Yea, a higher compression motor will make a sweeter sound.... Nice job on the build... Ride safe man......
