Jamman, so are you saying you're not happy with the power of your new 103?

my friends call me jammy.. but ... 1st, 2nd, not until third , does it unleash.. mind you at low speeds , it seems to want to overun.. but, at 2400 miles , it just doesnt come alive until 3rd.. then its ***** to wall thru 5th, attacks hills and curves 2 up or single doesnt care.. pulls hills like a freight train , runs 75 at 2750 to 2800 rpm , and then , you roll the throttle and it goes...
my thing is, i could roll the back tire on my 88 06 bob til tomorrow, 401's 402's metze's were the easiest.. it had snap in the first 2 gears , i was just wondering , if others felt throttled or geared down with thiers? on these gears?

Lol! Do the stage 1 and see if that helps. Stock motors suck until you massage them a little. If it was me I would do a stage one with some nice low-mid cams and be done with it.

Ditto that, hard to believe unless he's holding the front brake.

Are you running the stock cams? A cam should wake up the motor.
