the 1000 mile review....

 :2vrolijk_21:

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!



Found this one..... it wound up being the exhaust bracket under the motor....

Went with Cometic gaskets .030 thickness... IIRC the stocks are .045...

With continued use, the bike is approaching 30K, and other than the funky noises it made before (piston slap) and the occasional noise from the adjustable pushrods contacting the tubes all seems to be well. The Woods "directional" lifters seem to be enduring me OK for now.

Cams make perfect, usable power, as does the 30T/139 Belt/sprocket combo... everything is in the "zone" where the bike is fun to ride again.

I do think there is oil consumption.. and I may go with a set of jugs/pistons to fix this shortly.... as well as a set of ported heads and potentially bigger cams...  but thats the life of a hotrodder.

Sorry to hear about your belt, but that right there, is what is keeping me from converting to a smaller pulley and shorter belt.  I'd love to do it but don't want to take the chance of breaking a belt on a long trip away from home. (or anywhere else for that matter)

We looked over the belt and think it may have been defective. (possibly a whole batch)

hopefully the new belt is a different brand... looking at Gates this time

Better order one extra as a spare. Just never know.

Recent updates:

Replacement 139T belt came from Drag Specialties. Opened the box to find another Falcon Belt... HOWever, the belt looks to be different from the last one... I think different batch maybe?

Bike now has 31K.. so far, so good..... no smokey burnouts or attemted wheelies and no banging through the gears.

No major oil consumption in the last 5K miles.... (less than a 1/2 qt)

Had some fun playing with a 350Z on the freeway last Sunday (poor ricer boy) still pulls like a freight train.. love it.. but it seems a little rich at idle.... might fiddle with the Vtune a bit.

I did note it was a little skittery at about 110 (unless it was the crosswinds) felt like the front was wandering a bit.. TP was good.

Rear shcks seem to be losing air pressure pretty quickly now... might be time for some new shocks...

There has to be another way to do this? My buddy has an '07 and he says they changes the primary gears? I will have to talk to him and see what exactly they changed. I have about 5K hard miles on my Drag Specialties belt, I do not treat it kindly, it's holding up so far.....

Yes, you can change the internal gear ratio in the primary.. however they dont make that conversion compatible with the SE compensator which I also have. ( That has been discussed here multiple times as well)
