Not feeling it
Just a quick follow up. Readjusted the pushrods to 20 flats and did just a quick test. Bike runs great, sounds great, valve train is even quieter now but still not feeling the power I expected. I'm going to try and do a proper compression test once it warms up and have an appointment to get it dyno'd in a week. I'll follow up again.

I'm running a tune from FuelMoto that was put together specifically for my bike. The dyno run is just to get numbers, not to tune.
Makes sense. At least then you'll know if its actually weak or if it's just not what you were expecting.

Yeah that's the plan...hopefully the numbers come out good or at least in the ballpark. Either way it'll be interesting.

I haven't had the time, well I did on the weekend but it was too frigging cold so I drank beer and looked at the bike instead. Maybe tomorrow or Thurs. Does anyone know how to shut off ACR? I haven't looked at my manual yet, but it must be a fuse?

Good to know. The shop manual says to get the engine warm, remove plugs, air cleaner, disconnect fuel, turn off ACR and open throttle body...doubt I'll have time today, but it will be warm enough.

If you have a PowerVision tuner, I would see if you can connect it and run a data log during the dyno run....
That way if there is an issue or problem with the power output noticed during the dyno test, you could send the data log to FuelMoto. They could then address the issue and tweak the tune...
