After many long grueling weeks without my scoot, I got a message today... (Actually, it was a picture tagged on FB from the tech)

My SERG done!... cam, lifters, adjustable pushrods, oil pump, SE compensator, new heavy breather AC, 30T and -1 belt  + new map makes me proud to own a CVO once again!

I still havent gotten into it HARD, but a few short hops says I made all the right choices....

gonna go outside and correct the speedometer and upload the new MAP and go for a late night ride.... review tomorrow!

Awesome!  Glad to see you already got to ride her too.  Would kill 1/2 the fun if you were in a state inundated by snow or something.

I only get melted snow here... now I get to clean it tomorrow morning!

Congrats on the upgrades.  Looking forward to reading the ride report.   

Ride safe,

I was told to be nice to it for the first couple hunderd miles... being a roller cam I fail to see why but I will oblige...

First opinion:

Deeper, Throatier rumble... I am and have been running fullsac 2.25" power cores with the stock packing. Bike had a tinnier, raspier sound with the stock compression and stock cams. VERY easy to set off car alarms just cruising by... Loud and agressive when you get into the throttle.

30T and -1 belt put the bike perfectly in the powerband... at 60 (my bad) 65 I'm at 2700 RPM and some change.... in 6th. Even in 6th the rollon is amazing... no lugging, no downshifting... 65-90 comes FAST, and not even WOT blasts yet! A few more miles and I'll drop a gear or 2 at freeway speed and see what it does....

I upgraded the oil pump to the fueling race unit as I wanted OP in all conditions.... most of my riding here is under 75 (I say most, not all ) and a LOT in traffic... the though of the OP at ZERO for extended periods at idle does not work for me! At current, cruise at freeway speed is 32-40psi... nice... idle hot the lowest I saw was just below 16, just as the ETIMS kicked in. It was hot and humid yesterday and I got stuck in traffic...

TTS was brainless for the remap... just took me a while to refamiliarize with it... make the speedo correction and away you go!.. reminder: dont forget to turn the switch to "run", if the ignition is on and the switch off, the ecm will not accept reprogram... (duh)

I've got a couple hundred miles on the bike since the work was completed.... assuming we got all the known shortcomings I think we should be good...

The woods lifters do tick when cold... for a bit... so I start her up and let it warm-up and idle while the noises go away...

Heavy-Breather: Yes, the gurgle of the valves opening and closing is unnerving at first, until you realize what the noise is.

I'm thinking gear change for the Wife's Road King, as well as TTS and some pipes... she likes the stock appearing air cleaner... unless I come up with something interesting for a replacement...

2009_,

I am very interested in your 30T conversion including your ongoing opinion after you can shake it out some more and what all was entailed, cost, etc..  I figured I'd pop for the Baker DD7 at some point ($2.5k for the unit itself).  I think I am running at about 2600rpm @70 so 2700 at 65 tells suggests maybe a 300ish rpm increase (at 70).  Sounds like a  so far...

Cheers,

Silvr

I bought belt, pulley from Steve @ Fullsac Performance. Total for the two was about $300

You will need some sort of tuning software that is capable of making gear ratio changes to do speedo correction. I use TTS as do many others here on this site...

Thanks 2009_ for the quick reply and additional info.  I too am using TTS but need to get familiar with working with it.  Thanks again, Silvr

Very nice!  Thanks for the detailed report.  Got a dyno chart yet after all the changes?  Curious to know hp and torque.  Have had some tweaking done to mine lately and I was at 2900 rpm @ about 95 last night.

My dealer doesnt have a dyno... so we put it together with the Fullsac combo in mind (adding the Fueling OP, woods lifters) The bike is a beast though... Its perfect for riding here... 5th gear @ 65 is right at 3K.. open the throttle and are moving!

the 1000 mile review....

 

No complaints though I hear a metallic buzz that sounds like a heat shield loose at about 3000 RPM.. annoying, but it runs great.

So far, so good!

Can you give us more details on your up grades like cams,head work,dyno charts. Thanks in advance

Can you give us more details on your up grades like cams,head work,dyno charts. Thanks in advance 

Fullsac Stage II MAP, Andrews 54 cams, Woods directional lifters, fueling race oil pump, Cometic head gaskets, TTS mastertune, catless headpipe, SE heavy breather and compensator, 30T sprocket and 139T belt.

As I said, no dyno yet, have almost 1500 miles on the current setup and will schedule some dyno tyime with one of 2 shops here...  but I will say I am very happy with how the bike runs and behaves.

Current update:


Weather hasnt been very cooperative lately, so I have been using the cage.. but I have still been riding as weather permits. roughly 2500 miles... time to change oil.

I do notice it seems to run a tad richer than before the stage 2. I guess I'll have to run the V-tune instructions and take a stab at it....

Mileage, a little down from before.... Stock, I got 250-270 per tank if I was being a good boy... now I get right about 200-225 regardless of my riding style.

I did a longer than normal run as I needed to attend a class in town for work, then had to run to the west office for some stuff before heading to work. It appears that the mileage is a little better on the longer run.

Just keep in mind that for me, a long run MIGHT make 40 miles in one direction... its tough living on this little rock.
