On my 107 (now sold), I had no issues starting when warm. On the other hand, if they CR's would never fail themselves (falling apart, etc), why not put them in.........?

Heck, HD put them in my new 103......must be a reason (easier on starter??).

 

I just called Fuelmoto and added the Compression Release just in case. Getting excited, big Tennessee trip coming up in a couple weeks.

 

I would have to look back, I know we have done a few 107's with Monster Round mufflers which have a nearly identical baffle to the Monster Ovals, they perform well but their chambered design may give up a few Hp/Tq to a straight thru louvered or perforated core on a 107" Level B head combination

You do not need compression releases with the 107 kit with stock heads as cranking pressure is in the 185-low 190's range and they start awesome even when hot, if your are doing our Level B heads we offer the option of raising the compression and we would recommend the compression releases. We charge an additional $100.00 for the releases and machining

The 09 head pipe does not have a catalyst and should work fine

 

Initially, my FM 107 had some starting issues. About 50% of the time it would kick back and the starter clutch would slip. it sounded horrible and was quite embarrassing when showing my friends my new setup. I seriously thought I screwed up by not getting the CR's installed. However, the starting issues diminished as the pistons and rings wore in. I can only assume the new parts were creating additional internal friction and that it was just enough to cause some starting problems. Now that the parts have familiarized themselves with each other, the starter clutch slips only once every 25 starts or so. Through some trial and error, I've also found it best to hit the starter button immediatly after switching on the ignition. Can't say for sure if this method will work for everyone, but it's what works best for me.

 

Can't wait for Fuel Moto to announce they have 120" kit for those of us that have the 110" Okay I admit, I made that up, but perhaps Jamie is considering such an adventure based on all the success of the 107"

 

Ok well skip the CR's then, I just installed a SE Compensator last night and it starts smooth as silk now. Please give me a call sometime early Monday, just want to go over a couple quick things.
The bike will be there tomorrow sometime in the afternoon.






Thanks again

 

Cheap insurance since it's already apart .....

 

Mine does it also. I have found out from reading on this forum that it might be the compensator. Maybe Jamie can chime in on this?

 

I installed the SE Compensator Friday night, easy 2 hour job. Made a huge difference in the starting, starts like it should have from the factory also it shifts MUCH smoother. It seems like a different bike after a 2.5 Hour ride up to Little Shute.

 

just ordered mine!! cant wait!!
