Umm, when's the last time you checked your valve clearances? If you have adjusted them, what were/are they? Might also be the cam chain(s). Doug
They turned out nice, and it doesn't sound like you need to touch the carbs. And with them being lighter the bike is faster! Doug
Make sure the slip-ons have a good tight fit onto the collector (no gaskets needed for them) and go from there.
The other symptom will be that it won't want to make small steering changes and will take a lot more effort to change direction. At this point...
If you were doing a full rejet-yes, eventually. For your stock motor with slip-ons and mild air box mods it isn't really needed, unless you just...
It's not really that hard, but it IS easy to do it wrong. For what you'll need to do for the K&N filter and maybe opening up the airbox, just...
Correct. The slip-ons don't require any changes, but if you start opening up the intake you'll need to richen things up a touch.
I 2nd the DynoJoke reference, leave it alone. You can get better results from just buying jets (under $5/ea) and maybe shimming the needles (if...
The driver got up and ran, the passenger got up and had to think about it....a couple of times! Unreal!
Go aftermarket, probably cheaper AND they can be rebuilt instead of thrown away. Try Fox, Penske, etc.
It ended at a whopping $610!!! Somebody really wanted them. Glad I've had mine for the last 20yrs.
I wouldn't worry about the baffles, the heat and carbon will keep things from rusting. For the mufflers, you could just take a scotchbright pad...
That was just to get you a breakdown of parts and #s. Do a search for lower prices. Did you get a chance to do any mods to your airbox?
Here's a breakdown of what you have. I think you need four of #10, two of #11 and two of #2. How's that?...
You're going to love the Triumph! I got to test ride one and it was the easiest bike to ride, I did a 5 mile loop, which included freeway and...
If while at speed and you crank open the throttle it will die. If you then open the choke slightly and repeat opening the throttle and it responds...
I used a 1" spade bit on the lid, and without pulling the tank I couldn't tell you how many. Once I get room in my shop I'll be going through it...
In general, the K&N doesn't flow that much more air to need rejetting, and the slipon exhaust is the same. Now, most bikes come from the factory...
They actually have racers that use them. I believe they started with airplane tires. I still don't think I could do the camo tires!
It depends on how bent it is, but if it were me I'd replace it anyway. They may be less expensive here: http://www.frankmain.qpg.com/ I've only...
