I just dropped my bike off this morning for Thursday's appointment so I'm pretty pumped. It is supposed to be completed this Saturday with a break in tune so I can get some miles on it and the weather is expected to be really nice here this weekend.



Update;

Well....as it turns out the guys needed more parts, intake seals, new valve springs, and so on, and they FINALLY arrived today. They can get me in on the 17th of June BUT my dyno appointment with Nel's 2 Wheel Dyno Works (supposedly the best around for TTS) is on June 16th, so obviously that wouldn't work. I called to reschedule and the next availability for the dyno work is July 15th! So I rescheduled my build for July 7th.

Hurry up and wait!!

Sorry to hear you have to wait longer than expected. Sounds like a great set up, I have a similar FM 128 build but using stock heads and woods cam. Bike runs better than stock and highway MPG is 42-44. FYI, have the builder follow the FM break in procedure. The bike will be ready to ride when you pick it up. No need to wait 500-1,000 miles to enjoy it.
Looking forward to seeing the #s and hearing your impression of the build.

IMHO, These heat problems will not be solved until a manual tune is completed on a dyno with a tuner that is capable of working the full gamut and outside the restricted SE tuner.

Cali insults aside, there are douchebags in all walks of society. I generally try to recognize them early on and gracefully exit the first chance I get… not worth my time to verbally spar with them or listen to their drivel.

Life is short.

My first response was one of wonderment if the OP was old enough to even ride much less race....

I see you’ve personally demonstrated that the BMW GS culture is even worse than the bad aspects of the Harley culture. Thanks for that input from the Demon over-compensation crowd, too.

The reason I used the HD kit and tuner was my local dealer "will" honor the extended warranty. The bike made 131 HP and 137 TQ and runs great except a power loss during hard acceleration  at gear changes, which I think is caused by the RDS, that I have tried to turn off. I was very happy until 90 degree weather kicked in and now the bike is no fun to ride. I have thought about external cylinder cooling fans or finding an oil cooler kit. There are a few adjustments that can be made with the street tuner. I do not know how but my mechanic raised the rpm limiter to 6,400. Looking at the tables the low rpm timing seems to be adjustable. Any tune tips would be appreciated.

We do need to get together for a ride and dinner

I'm leaving soon on a summer road trip.  Will give you a yell when I get back.

I need to ride your way while school is out.  Just for the hell of it (and lunch).

Excellent  !

Sh*t just like that is why old farts like me still prefer a PC and keyboard.  Huh, wonder if a keyboard needs syntheti.....   oh, never mind.

I have asking about the cams, speech to text doesn’t work well with my southern accent, I still have the original compensator on it, though I just changed the sprocket itself since it was showing wear and needed to be replaced.

I haven't found an accent yet that voice text likes...it really doesn't like Okie. Don was correct on his statement above then and guess I will owe him a beer being he didn't make his quota.
