Title: Re: Question for Ryca guys? Post by BuckRYCA on 02/16/13 at 21:23:28 88 mph (calibrated digital bicycle computer running on front wheel). It had a little more to go, maybe 5 mph?, but that would have taken a while. My bicycle computer is dead on. Verified against GPS and police radar roadside set-ups (Your speed is ...). |

Yep, my S40 with Apollo Cone muffler and rejetted carb will hit the mid 90's any day, and peg the needle on a good one. |

Title: Re: Question for Ryca guys? Post by braveteacher on 02/17/13 at 04:39:47 I'm sure it will do 100...but not with me on it...56 MPH was way to fast...wind was blowing in Florida yesterday...so maybe I will try to peg her out on a non windy day...LOL |

Not with that optimistic stock speedo, are you? Skelly15, you got your 90 mph reading on the Ryca kit speedo? |

Title: Re: Question for Ryca guys? Post by verslagen1 on 02/17/13 at 08:08:56 veypor vr1 oversized rear tire will correct the speedo |

Title: Re: Question for Ryca guys? Post by skelly15 on 02/17/13 at 10:01:32 yeah I have the ryca speedo and tach on the bike, not really sure how accurate it is. |

Title: Re: Question for Ryca guys? Post by braveteacher on 02/17/13 at 11:34:17 I did mine with a handheld garmin GPS....56MPH...going on a ride right now with the car garmin GPS... |

Title: Re: Question for Ryca guys? Post by BuckRYCA on 02/17/13 at 15:29:38 I would be very interested to hear of someone who's done the ton (100 mph) on one of these bikes, stock or Ryca or otherwise, on the flat, no big tail wind, measured with a GPS or some other reliable means. |

Title: Re: Question for Ryca guys? Post by braveteacher on 02/17/13 at 19:04:17 Okay...I feel like an idiot...before my ride today...I decided to check the air in the tires...and no wonder the bike seemed like it was all over the road...lesson learned...check your tire pressure...it was very low...bike rode lots better but the battery in the GPS went out...so tomorrow I will give her another test ride. |

Title: Re: Question for Ryca guys? Post by Gyrobob on 02/17/13 at 21:39:07 77 mph with me sitting up in the semi-leaning forward position required by holding on to the RYCA clip ons. I have the sitting height of a 6'5" fellow. Engine completely stock, emgo muffler, RYCA carb mod, standard RYCA K&N. |

Title: Re: Question for Ryca guys? Post by BuckRYCA on 02/18/13 at 15:21:10 Brave teacher, are you running the Ryca 130/70-18 rear tire and the stock front tire? What pressures are you running front/rear? I keep experimenting (presently 30f/32r). |
|
Title: Re: Question for Ryca guys? Post by braveteacher on 02/18/13 at 15:26:12 says 40psi on both...so I have around 40...maybe a little bit more...41 or 42... |

What it says on the side of the tire is pretty much irrelevant. That is just a number the feds force the manufacturers to put on there to show what load the tire can carry at that arbitrary pressure. |

Title: Re: Question for Ryca guys? Post by s40fan on 02/24/13 at 20:59:02 87mph with tuned carb, cone muffler, and fully tucked. Running 30 psi front and rear. Bike turns into a wet noodle when hitting tight sweepers over 75mph. Going to replace the crappy OEM IRC front tire soon to see if its the tire that cant track when leaned over. Need to get rid of those chickens strips. |

I changed the jets back to stock yesterday. I have been using RYCA-supplied richer jets up until now. It did 82 mph on the GPS with me sitting up but in the somewhat leaning forward posture demanded by the RYCA clip-ons. I have a lot of drag, I'm sure, because I have the sitting height of a 6'6" person. 32 psi f & r, Avon Speedmaster 19" front and 18" rear. I also scare myself sometimes when leaning the thing over at 60+ mph. It doesn't do a tank slapper, it just sort of weaves in and out about twice per second. Casey says a fork brace cured his bike of that situation. I'm ordering a TKAT brace. |

I'm wondering if it is too restrictive. |

Title: Re: Question for Ryca guys? Post by Sticks16 on 02/26/13 at 10:12:44 I found this thread interesting as I'm wondering if I should mess with the jets at all when I finally get to the carb. I bought my Savvy over a month ago and the day I brought it home I had it over 80mph on a highway straight with some wind resistance. It had more room to go but I've since been tearing it down to modify and lighten it some. I've done a great deal of reading about different peoples setups as well as Lancers jetsets on here etc and found one guy with a similar setup to what mine is from the previous owner. I believe he said he had the carb open but I forgot to ask if he switched anything because it does have a Jardine slash on it and runs and sounds sweet. My question to you guys who have been messing with different factors and Ryca kits is: What filter do you feel is best to replace the airbox and also if it seems to be running fairly top as is should I dive into the carb and see whats up for the hell of it? Afterall it does backfire here and there and I read doing the Ryca spacer mod or even using the washers may help with that? Thanks, J |

Hey Man! There are lots of answers to these questions here on the forum; everyone has their opinions about what works best. In general though, most folks don't mess with the carb jetting unless they are also changing the air filter and exhaust. Forgive me if I am over-simplifying, but Carb jetting determines the correct mixture of air and fuel going into your engine. A completely stock bike should come properly jetted from the factory (Although a little lean to meet emission control standards, but that's a whole 'nother ball of beans) If you add a K&N or similar, more free flowing air filter, along with a more free flowing exhaust; such as the Harley Dyna pipe which is popular with these bikes, then you need to change the carb jetting accordingly because you have changed the air/fuel mixture flowing through the engine. Simply changing the carb jetting on an otherwise properly running bike will almost always make it run worse, and won't give you any advantage all by itself. You have to consider the whole system; air intake, carb jetting, and exhaust. They all work together. Cheers! |

Title: Re: Question for Ryca guys? Post by Sticks16 on 02/28/13 at 20:51:01 Understood thanks for the response. I know having the jardine exhaust and eventually changing the filter to a k&n will force me to mess with the carb so I'll dive back into other threads and see what combo jets work best with my final choice. |

Do you expect the K&N to flow better or worse than stock? |

Title: Re: Question for Ryca guys? Post by Sticks16 on 03/02/13 at 00:18:49 Not sure? that's why I was asking because I've read mixed reviews....I'm keeping the stock box for now but when I decide to hide the wires better I'll need space. Seeing how I have the seat nearly as low as it gets I would like to utilize the space where the airbox is and give it that open look. |
