Seems to me a case could be made that backfire is potentially more hazardous than emissions. I can see the headlines now: "Motorcyclist shot to death by cop -- EPA to blame!" Roll Eyes

Officer says, "All I know is that I heard what sounded like a gunshot, then saw 'SAVAGE'. I just knew I had to fire."

You should do the white spacer mod. You've richened 0 ->1/8 throttle (pilot jet and slow mixture screw) and 3/4 ->full throttle (main jet) but neglected 1/8 -> 3/4 throttle (needle and white spacer).

If you figure it's going to be a proportional power increase, 32/650 == x/700 x == 34.5 hp So only a 2.5 hp gain from that. But then of course the aftermarket carburetor and any headwork would probably add a bit more.

I'm almost tempted to be right up front and ask some EPA official EXACTLY what the parameters are, and what I can legally get away with -- even tho it'll make me an enforcement target. At least it'd be cut & dry; and, I could pass on the info. I've read reports; but, some things are still unclear. Hey, and for a small price, I might even be pursuaded to not give 'em all your names & numbers! Grin

I'm pretty sure that the regulation that banned modifying anything that might effect emissions has been in effect sind the 1977 Clean Air Act Amendments became effective in 1979.

The 2006 changes are just lower emissions standards. There's a lower standard coming in 2010.

The one bike per lifetime exclusion allows a person to build one bike from a kit, IIRC.

Mine is stock except for the fact that I've turned the air screw out a bit.

I get a backfire about every other ride. Not a big deal w/ me. The bike runs well and will start most mornings without choke.

I will say that I live at 6500' elevation and the bike runs quite a bit better up here than it did when I lived in Houston, TX (basically sea-level).

YMMV.
