Maybe that is why the EVO is all perked up? close proximity to the intake? Kinda like a NOS shot!
Wanna go together to get a patent on this idea?

Temperatures around here have dropped about 10*, and moist air is here.
The EVO 'seems' to have a noticable amount of more oomph, especially hitting the rev range, 3000+.
Am I imagining things or have others experienced this?
Cake is set to be cooked this afternoon.

Lovely warm sunny day here, for a ride out!

My shovel was like that. When the weather was wet and cold and the grip uncertain it was hanging on the throttle like it was supercharged, busting to go! Haven't noticed it to the same extent on my Evo.

I just want to say that since selling my Shovel and buying this Evo, all the time I used to spend wrenching on the Shovel is far better spent modifying this Evo. Bolting shiney new chrome parts on a bike is alot more fun (and satisfying) that replacing bearing seals and miscellaneous part that didn't make the return trip.

Your shovel sure looked COOL, though!

GR-Maybe it's the carb or the build but it does seem stronger with the cooler temps. Same road, same load. I like it.

Cooler weather sure makes more horses. Of course in south Florida, we only have a few spells that the high temp of the day gets below 70 degrees.
