I got a brief test ride with the new springs today...it was cold & damp, with temps mid to high 20's F. The bike revs quicker in neutral with the new springs & everything else equal, but I really couldn't tell that it made a difference on the road. There was, however, a very slight but consistent hesitation upon acceleration from cruise that did not exist with the stock springs. It impressed me as being a slight transient lean condition. The hesitation didn't show up just blipping the throttle in neutral.
All other things equal, I'm thinking that maybe a shim will cure that, & maybe slightly richer pilot screws. If that doesn't handle it, then I'll probably go back to the stock springs.
To recap, right now it has 158 mains, no shims, 42 pilots, screws about 3/4 out, & Kwaker springs.
I also have the 160 mains ready to go in. I prefer to make one change at a time, but maybe I'll roll the dice & do the mains & shims together.
Any suggestions (besides a dyno...)?
