What's up everyone, I've finally got my bike running better then it has since I bought it today, however after a series of short test rides I still cant quite seem to get the "power curve" or whatever you call it, to yield a nice even climb. I'll break it down and try to explain it as best as I can.
I've cleaned and inspected my carb parts/jets/ins and outs and holey things.
I've upgraded to stage 3 jetting via dynojet kit.
I have an open exhaust, and free flowing intake [no filters at present, but will have pod filters on street]
I've replaced spark plugs with new NGK plugs and set the gap within recommended specs
I've tested both ignition coils, plug wires, and plug caps and found nothing out of spec or not functioning correctly.
I've replaced the cylinder base, head, and valve cover gaskets.
I've checked all valve clearances, and replaced necessary valve shims to meet the manufacture specs and confirmed after, shortly after realized how much it royally sucks to do.
Set cam chain/timing correctly with TDC 1 and 4 piston positions to manual steps.
Torqued everything down to spec in sequence.
Okay, here's where I went on my latest test ride, nothing spectacular but enough to get up to speed and go through all the gears. I did take a ride and got essentially the same result with the circlip on my needles in the recommended 2nd position, and also 3rd position. Both rides with fuel mixture screw at the rec. 2.5 turns out.
Bike cranks easily and idles with choke on and off, I can rev up smooth from idle to wide open throttle just fine with minimal bogging, no abnormal heavy smoking, there's a slight hesitation at the bottom of first gear but will get up to cruising speed just fine
when I really start to feel my power loss is near the top end of all the gears, after the little delay the bike will speed up and run like a scalded dog until the top end of the gear, I can feel the bike shudder a bit and it doesnt want to give anymore, but will continue to speed up in the next gear until the same aprx rpm and will do the same problem.
I'm not really sure where to go from here, a side note - I have not done a carb sync, or checked to see if they are currently sync'd though I plan too with some help from my friend, I dont know how dramatically that could effect the performance in this aspect. I also havent confirmed the state of the in line fuel filter although it seems to flow without a hiccup.
The video didnt pick it up as well as I wish it did, but it may help someone point me in a better direction.
