Yes of course he does, how else can he set up an engine to ride well in all conditions? My ole bike runs like a steam engine - smooth and responsive in all conditions.

 

He is the only one then!
You have watched a pull at mid Throttle opening???
I'm wishing I was closer to your Guy!!!

 

T cones make excellent paper weights and good conversation pieces.

 

well after all this now I'm thinking about going to a V&H 2 into 1 but I'll hang on to the Bassani pro pipes in case I don't like it.

 

I've got some black Samson 2-1's if your interested.

 

got a pic tex?

 

I doubt if he is the only one. The very word 'pull' suggests quite the wrong approach. I've watched my own bike being set-up and it didn't spend much time flat out, but with transitions (it has a carb) and interim running being checked.

 

Go to my profile and look at the pictures.

 

They don't spend any time "flat out" they wack it WFO it climbs to Red line, it is shut down...Then they look at RPM and Power Output...Never seen anyone use Mid Throttle settings...Physically it all seems done at Wide open throttle. YMMV or maybe, Lucky You, your guy has a Water Brake Dyno...Very versatile tool there...None around anymore.
