Thanks fellas! Changed the oil yesterday, surprisingly, it was fairly clean! It will haze that back tire at 3/4 throttle with ease!It's not the fastest 80 incher,but you better not get caught sleepin ! =) but I had a plan,stuck to it, and it worked.Usually, I start building something, get halfway through it, and change things up. So this one came out like a blueprint just exactly how I wanted it

Question. When I adjusted the pushrods(rev-tech ) I only went 3 1/2 turns.The lifters were never ran, new. I now seen where I shoulda went 4 turns, should I readjust them? don't here any noises, but if the valve isn't opening all the way, i'm loosing power right?

Oh yea, one other thing... On the front brake, when I pull the lever brake works fine and the brake light.BUT I have to manually push the lever back out just a little to get the light to go off.Then when I do that, its like it wants the spring back like i'm pulling it, not a lot, but just enough to where something isn't right

I'v got about 300 miles on it so far, just been swamped at work. But got a couple issues....Like if I just come off the clutch and gas it, it pulls like a freight train,if I am just cruising say like 40 mph and up and gas it, it is busting up bad! popping out of the pipes...any suggestions? I took it to my indy and he did the jet kit, so I don't know whats in it.I'll have to ask him, but it runs great until you try to crank the throttle at cruising

That's because you haven't sent the carb to me ! Lol you really need to open it up and see what u got, sounds like maybe the accelerator pump or something is up, it shouldn't be breaking up tho,

I'v just been swamped at work... I AM going to send it to you though.lol I did the timing like you told me so I dunno if timing would cause it or not. I know one thing though, It is a beast!!! And I haven't even got in it yet! At 3500 shifting into 2nd gear, it WILL pull the front tire with ease! I think I'm going to have to put some bolts or something in the end of the pipes,it's just WAAYYYY to loud and would be good for 12-15 ftlbs torque.. open 1 3/4 drag pipes on it now
