I've got two of them sitting in the shop so I'll have one put on today and see what the difference is tomorrow. Rejet is carburation? I can have a new one put in.

Jets cost about ten bucks, and that is the high end.

No speedometer cable, and it's not slinging oil?

For all I know your rider is lugging the snot outta the poor thing, or running first gear at thirty and below.

How it's Geared matters. Either calculate the circumference of Your tire and compare to stock or get the speedometer working and compare to the GPS.

Reply #21 - 06/02/17 at 17:07:23 Top road speed in fifth gear should be in the 85-90 mph range for a stock bike in good condition. At the risk of causing increased fuel consumption, could you go pillion behind your rider with a speedo app in your cell phone and thus check maximum speed, which would possibly drop to 80 mph with two on the bike?

I'm still surprised it's running without a speedometer connected. And the owner didn't know.. Insufficient details Eeeegore, And how much did it cost to do the work? How's your squeak?

The speedometer cable opening was "capped" with a metal cap of some kind and cut rubber on the inside. I have a tank with a cable already attached so I just installed that one. Left petcock on overnight, didn't see any leaks.

There is about a 3mph difference, the bike reads 30 when true speed is 28, 40 at 37 and 50 at 47. Top speed 69mph.

Squeal is fine so far, I will update the appropriate thread when I'm done.

Todays first run was 2.2 gallons 86 miles even before it died. GPS data only.
