Thanks for resurrecting this thread Kenny as I have an update!

I FINALLY got 500 on her so I did a valve job (5 shims), chain adjust, spark plugs, oil change and this time, I changed the cam cover gasket. Took her out for a shake down and after warming her up good, I just HAD to nail her for the first time after the BB. Without a dyno (it's coming), I am VERY happy. I am just glad I have a backrest as the power coming on at around 4500 - 5000 is HOLY CRAP!

Looks like I have to do a little carb adjusting though. My current setup has a bit of a power dip (aka, flat spot) around 4800 - 5000rpm. I may try shimming the TBS needles or a fatter main but I will wait for tomorrow's run to figure it out. I've only got 10 miles on the maintenance work. I HATE working.


Bonne,
Mine had the same flat spot--it showed up on the dyno-
the Air/Fuel ratio showed it went rich from 4500rpm to 6000rpm & then went back 13-1.
I fixed this by drilling the slides with a 7/64 bit.it took the flat spot out. You might try this.It raises the vacumn. Mine is pulling 24lbs.The bike is making 63.46HP & it still needs one more shim to put it right.The Nology ignition really smoothed out the curve-it's not choppy & all over the place like it was with the stock stuff.
Glad to see ya'll are having fun!Your bike sounds like you rolling..hehe!
