Wow, you guys must have friends that don't know how to ride, poor tune on their bikes, or are over weight. My buddys wife has an 08 S40. Its neat, light , and torquey-but it stands no chance against my 75 XLCH 1000 (451lbs, 67hp-68ft/lbs), my 98 1200 XLC (477lbs, 71hp-73ft/lbs), my 71 Bonnie chopper (287lbs 55hp, 42ft/lbs), or the 81 XJ650 (389lbs 51hp-32ft/lbs). All of them I race at the track, same with her S40. The S40 will walk the dog all over my another friends 2000 VT750 Shadow ACE, 33hp-37ft/lbs and weighs 527lbs! Her S40 is hitting 14.97 (best) to 15.15 (average). the Bonnie has a 12.8:1 first gear and takes off like a rocket. the 98 is hitting 12.73s all day long with open pipes (35" long) and chopped air cleaner, and a jet change (48 pilot, 180 main). thats the only deviation from stock. On the twisties, the only one that will hang with the S40 coming outta the turns is the Yamaha. Its got decent brakes, unlike every HD-save for the buells.... I have grown fond of that little single though. I added an open fishtail pipe (have put a small baffle in it though), does anyone make an ignition upgrade for it?? I wish the advabce came on a little sooner. And do these things have a rev limiter?? I've heard that you can screw up the timing by high/over revving...true??
