engine protector

this may not be an issue for some, but have you guys ever thought about how far the bottom of our engines hang down past the frame rails? i found a pic of something i am going to build this winter for my bike. i know the chances of something striking the bottom of the engine are small, but it could ...

Re: maybe better fuel mileage?

hey BURKBUILDS, thanks for the reply. i am definately going to change sprockets this winter the 17/40 combo. i would do it now, but i would rather wait until riding season is over, that way it will be ready for next spring. of course, my riding season doesnt end until its about 35 degrees outside. b...

Re: maybe better fuel mileage?

thanks burkbuilds. i will probably try that first anyway. the honda rebel i had i changed the front sprocket and noticed a slight difference on it too. like i said earlier, i may not mess with any of this, except the gears of course. it was just a brainfart i had and thought i would bounce it off yo...

Re: maybe better fuel mileage?

the 2-1 exhaust would be a little more restrictive, because i would use the stock right side muffler, therefore i would have to tune down the carbs just a little. the ignition i probably wouldnt mess with anyway, just a thought. barely taller gearing will help with my fuel economy strictly because i...

Re: maybe better fuel mileage?

dude, it wont be running lean. if you make a 2-1 exhaust header, then put one size smaller jet in the carbs, they make up for each other. it wont be lean. and taller gearing wont hurt our bikes anyway, they are geared too low to begin with from the factory. there is no reason whatsoever for my 6 spe...

maybe better fuel mileage?

i had a thought about how to make our bikes get better fuel economy. i dont know if this would work or not, maybe i will give it a try this winter. anyway, here it is. i thought if you made the bike into a 2-into-1 exhaust, using the stock right side muffler, then put barely smaller jets in the carb...

Re: bad brake pads

i guess mine just had some crappy pads on it from the factory. oh well, atleast i got some pads for free to replace them. if these wear out quick too, i am getting some good aftermarkets next time. i probably will anyway.
