What with the extent of all the mods you did, it's kind of too bad it would be impractical, and too expensive, to reassemble and dyno the bike about 14 different times to quantify which individual part(s); or combinations of changes contributed exactly which improvements.
You're still on the stock, but re-jetted, Mikuni aren't you?
You must be tempted to spend the bucks to get it dyno charted after a good break-in and final adjustments?
I'd just be itching to know what the charted curves would look like on it compared to the few others that have been posted. Mostly my curiosity about the porting...
Good work, and good luck with it! 8)
Thanks.
After all this time that when finally riding, I completely forgot the one change That I was most curious about. The chain conversion....
Dropping from 2.96 to 2.64 really had me wondering what would happen to the bottom end torque, but that was forgotten until I found myself doing 30 in a 20 MPH school zone. Then I thought, "what's that correction factor?"
With the Raask exhaust, I couldn't hear the chain anyway
