Having fun....

yet?

You know, it's been super frustrating, but getting to the 'finish line' makes it all worth it and fun. I really enjoy working on it.

I ended up back at one turn on each screw for the best performance. I switched to EMS needle at 5th position and it seemed to run better. Butt dyno said better power. It's 38 degrees out right now though, going to revisit tomorrow when it's about 60.

Put in about 50 miles so far today, running pretty great!

To be honest, I was kind of expecting to be able to do roll on wheelies in at least second gear with the FCR's, which I can't. To be fair though, it is W heads and I do weigh 210 pounds before gear lol

Really? I'm surprised too...even when my bike was running at it's crappiest last year and was fouling my vertical plug constantly, gas wheelies in 2nd gear were never a problem. My gearing is 15/41. I'm only 165 before gear though. :/
