So barring any screwy efficiency numbers, I think it has significantly improved. It does not act like it wants to accelerate any more if I try rolling off the throttle once it reaches max speed. It does pop a little on decel but much more tolerable than it was. I'm much less concerned with the backfires on decel and shutdown than I am with drivability. Now I don't get stuck in the wind bubbles while getting around big trucks. The pvc elbow moved the air filter to a spot where for whatever reason it is no longer trying to deafen me lol. When I had it directly on the carb it was obnoxiously loud. The engine does not sound as labored at higher speeds. It now gets up to highway speed pretty dang fast... almost as fast as I can roll the throttle!
Thank you fellas for offering up your experience and expertise. I was getting close to throwing in the towel and just selling it lol. Would you believe I have had 2 offers of 5k$ for it in the past 2 weeks!? Being in the situation I was in... The offers were pretty dang tempting. I am glad I held out l though.
If all goes well, I will get my YZF600 out of the shop in the next couple days so my better half and I can go ride again. She has not been on a bike since the day the 1st wiseco piston failed. She has been binge watching moto-vloggers in lieu of getting on the bike.
I have a brand spankin` new set of Shenko something or other paid for and waiting on me to pick up when I go get the YZF. In addition to the fresh set of sneeks, this bike will get an overbuilt aluminum diamond plate battery box... And that's it. I'm calling this build complete. It's comfortable, fun to ride, aesthetically pleasing to look at (to me anyway lol), and super easy to work on with all the extra junk out of the way. It turns heads, and confuses people regularly! I love the questions on peoples' faces when they realize it is not a sportster lol!
