What rpm did you take it to?  I have verified my speedo is correct and I have run over your speed a few times when I have not been paying attention, was at about 6k and had some throttle left.  I have a stock belt and rear wheel.  Would elevation or humidity, etc have effect on top speed?  Seems like you should be able to hit a higher speed.

Here's the fuel filter we used.  Fairly compact for its flow rate, and supposedly a high quality item since it is a K&N part.

Gyro that is the same filter that is used on most riding mowers now. We see them on all the Cub Cadet and Bad Boy mowers with the Kawasaki engines.

Is that a good thing?

How much is that filter sourced through Cub Cadet?  I think I paid about $7 each for those things.  The K&N price is around $11 as I remember.

Pretty awesome mileage you're getting, what jets are you using? Do you have the Ryca kit K&N filter on it?

I'm using the jets supplied in the RYCA kit.  We did the white spacer mod (replaced it with RYCA washers) and installed the RYCA parts when we overhauled the carbs.  Yes, I am using the K&N air filter suppled with the kit as well.  

I'm also using the "smog system" shown in the Double RYCA build thread.  See reply #130 in this thread.  It is environmentally unfriendly (and illegal around here [ticket worthy] ) to just dump the crackcase fumes overboard, even if you attach a tube with one of those cute little autozone lo-rider filters.  

I remember seeing a comment by Casey somewhere about the jets supplied in the kit as being too rich, and that we should be using a 52.5 pilot and 150 main.

Where is that comment?

Gyrobob, I saw the reference in the video that RYCA posted for tuning the carburetor.  I'm currently waiting on my RYCA kit.  Really enjoyed your build thread.  Thanks!

Thanks for the comment.  Please keep in touch with any questions about how it goes together.  I sure learned a lot about how not to do it.

Have you rebuilt a carb before?

I haven't rebuilt one before, but took mine apart to clean it a few weeks ago before I took the motorcycle apart for the RYCA build.  It's amazing how much better it runs without clogged jets!  I am interested in increasing the visibility from behind.  Have you done anymore modifications besides the LED lights?

Not yet.  The next upgrade is the train light.

I am considering sending a constant low voltage to the bar end signals as one way to add to the visibility -- a not-very-bright amber light.  Also I'm considering some of those red LED pods mounted somewhere else that would be on all the time.  Those things are great because they are really bright and use only a watt or two, they are easy to mount, and they are CHEAP.

train light is an oft-used sobriquet for the 9" bucket holding an 8" lens that was stock for the GS1100, the Yamaha xj650r, and the Yamaha xv920r.  "they" say it lights up the road as if the sun came out.

See replies 258 thru 265

The thumb was accidentally bopped with a big wrench a few weeks ago.  I did utter a few sweet-nothings when it happened, I will admit.
