My 2001 elite 50 build-up

All you can do is try it and check the plug to see how it's running.

If your doing alot of long distance riding where your at 3/4 to wot throttle for 2-5 or longer miles at a time then yeah use the 8.If your doing stop and go city riding use a 7 plug.

So I rode to work today, first time really relying on the new bore to get me someplace and everything worked out great. The only thing is I can max out my gearing pretty easy on the flats, so I was wondering if anyone wants to trade their 8.4:1 s for my 9:1s?? I have a 2001 sa5o, so if anyone is interested in trading, we couls just leave the big gear pressed onto the main shaft and trade!?

Hello everyone, update time.

So I have a 30mm v8 pipe coming from trafficjamz(good seller) and am going to tune when it arrives. On my other v8 I was at a 105 drilled jet and it was deffinately rich. I made it that rich for break in, but I have about 300 miles on the bore now, so I might try that 105 jetting with this new pipe. Running pump+2oz oil premix. Also going from a bp6 to a 8 because I do mostly distance rides. Really excited to see if this pipe pushes me over 60 with the 9:1s. I had a lot of power all the was to 55, so I'm guessing I should probably change to 8.4:1s. Trades?

Greetings:

There have been reports of 60MPH top speeds on 9:1 gears. While mathematically possible, I'm not sure it's a good idea to run at the RPM required to achieve that speed with those gears, even if the pipe permits you to reach that RPM. I'm convinced big-bore power really needs 8.4s at least.

[aerorob]

You have got me convinced. I'm gonna get my pipe and have fun doing wheelies for a bit, then trade up.

Do you have the rear trans cover with 2 berings or the one with only one.

Do you know what I mean?


Is there a bering behind the BIG gear on Your case?

If there is a bearing there, I will trade with you for your 9.1:1 for my 8.4:1 already pressed on the shaft.

Yesterday limp gave me a deal on some parts, so I ordered a set of gears from him, sorry!

Not a problem.

So I got my exhaust on today, lookin great, and jetted up to a 110 main.

Question, I have 6.5 grams in my vari and that worked great on my last pipe, I felt the rpm hit the sweet spot up high, but this exhaust with the 6.5s doesn't rev up as high and I think I can get more power out of it if I get more rpm.

Should I drop down to 6s or does this pipe have a lower powerband than my old v8?

[aerorob]

Anyone with an opinion on reducing roller weights?

It doesn't seem as revy with the 6.5s as my last pipe.

[bakaracer]

The only way is to try the 6g rollers and go by feel.

[aerorob]

Alright, so after 4 different combos of weight going all the way down to 5g rollers, I realized I was going in thw wrong direction.

The v8 pipe I have decided is a low-mid rpm power pipe that doesn't need a ton of rpm.

7g rollers are now in my vari and its a nice relaxing ride with a grip of torque whenever I want it. I can now cruise at 45 or so without it seeming really reved out.

Didn't get to gps it, but top speed should aproach 60, will confirm later!!

[aerorob]

so, just ordered a uni, i am running a 110 jet right now in the stock carb and it seems reasonably rich, thats the largest jet that i have without using a jet that i drilled using a 57 drill bit which gives about a 118. tried 118 in my current setup and it wouldnt even move it was so rich. so i pretty much have a 110, or a 118.

anyone know if the uni leans things up enough to use the 118? or will i probably be closer to the 110, which is reasonably rich currently. oh, and i have about 350-400 miles on the new bore.

thanks!!

Got the uni on, and now acceleration to a flat spedo needle takes a couple less seconds. Way louder though... kinda cool sound, but I hope the neighbors don't care..
