Title: Top end dilemma
Post by cFLOW on 05/31/07 at 13:53:27

Heres the problem my bike has good accleration, but the top end is crap I only can hit about 55 mph, Heres what I have done to it: Chain Conversion (fine after), pulled the clutch cover to look at the cam chain, chain stretch was ok but tensioner was out 20mm did the slavy mod put it back together and know it wont go over 55. could it be fuel problems? also there is a little hesitation at the top end. any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Did you somehow get your timing off?

how do I check it. Or take care of it if it is off. Dont really understand how I could?

did you mess with the valves at all? did you accidentally screw up the clutch and it's slipping? are you sure the plunger isn't somehow binding and not pushing on the chain?

I wouldn't think you would have unless you removed the chain.

I didnt touch the valves or the clutch, And there is no noise coming from the case like before so I thought it was fixed. When I installed the plunger it was pushing against the chain tightly should i just pull it back off and take another look?

I figured it out I had the clutch cable so tight it was still engaging the clutch when i let the lever go. so bike is like a beast know. Also I did the 16/45 conv. so just a little better than stock. But better. thanks for the help. when you metioned the clutch i started checking every thing.

Havent had time to do the rewire yet. I'm not sure if i fixed the problem completly it is faster, I only went about 75 so far. The stumble is gone from the top end but I dont think everything is solved yet. Still checking everything
