Saturday wrenching.
05/21/06 at 17:23:15
I spent today doing my list of Savage Mods plus an oil change. The sportster slip on was a piece of cake, under 30 minutes. K&N drop in filter less than 5 minutes.
Iridium plg, spark plug door, and spacer mod 2 hours 30 minutes. Compared to my CB this bike is a breeze to wrench. The factory setting for the air/fuel mixture screw was half a turn from closed. I did a 2/3 spacer removal. I used a bastar*d file and rubbed it with my finger till it hit my mark. The spark plug read showed a lean condition. The final air screw turn was 1.5 out. After I adjusted the idle to a nice 900-1000 rpm range it just sounded awesome. My brother listened and remarked that it cams better than a sportster. The only draw back is that it backfires going from second to third. I suspect the sportster slip on muffler. Anyone care to venture a guess??

Did you remove 2/3s of your white spacer ? You should remove 1/3, leaving a spacer that's 2/3s it's original thickness.
Check for air leaks and/or exhaust leaks. That will give you some extra backfire.

Adjust the idle as recommended to 1000 - 1200 RPM.

I removed 2/3 of the spacer. I figured that on the exhaust leaks but fauiled to consider the intake. Strange it only does it from 2nd to 3rd gear.

They forgot to give me a tachometer. The 900-1000 rpm idle speed is left over from my previous bike. old habits die hard.
