well i've only got 75 miles on the new scoot...so haven't gotten over about 3xxx rpms.....but ima little nervous....i came from a stock 2011 103 with a stage one and 255 cams.....that bike pulled like a mule down low....loved it..........i haven't got to see what this one will do trying to get my break in miles. in......then i'll take it down and get a good tune job and dyno.........................the other part is im really having trouble finding anyone with this same set up to see what they think of it......i hear that it should pull hard all throught the rpm range since i added the high compression pistons and new springs.....not just top end..but like i say....its early for me to get into it.......hoping this holiday weekend i can get it out and get a couple hundred on it
Im running that kit. Thats why I was wondering what you got for numbers. Im happy with the results I got. Its got plenty of power and I havent had an issue. I do have manual compression releases. Do I wish I wouldve bought the 120r? of course. I just didnt want to spend that kind of money at the time.
What are you waiting for. As long as you don't go full throttle, and keep it there, you're not going to hurt anything opening it up. In fact, you're helping it break in. It's a machine. Get out there and ride it like you want to.
ok...to clear up why i traded in for another 2011....is because my dealer rolled me into a new 2011 with 8 miles on it for free....i traded in my 2011 with 6,xxx plus miles on it....same bike...same color...and i kept all my pipes...breather....all mods.......my bike i had deveolped an extreme ticking noise that no one could find out what was making the noise....the dealer said he didn't want me riding around on that thing telling people i bought it from him.....so he cut me a deal on a new one...and gave me a discount on the new pro 103 upgrade kit and the monkeybars....kinda of why im babying this bike so much....after the last ticking time bomb....don't want to end up with another bike that sounds like a diesel engine.....lol
wow..rambobob.....those numbers are impressive....and you say your running the same kit ???....im curious why the dip in everything at the 2500 rpm range....i understand it leveling off....either way.....can't wait to get in the saddle.....
