Re: GZ Top Speed
Yes, no, maybe. :biggrin:
A fuel injected motor with the proper compensation will like cold dense air. So will one that is otherwise running a little rich. Something running on the lean side,...

Re: GZ Top Speed
Good analysis but you left out 2 things:
1) Outright B.S.
2) Reports from non-North America riders.....whose bikes come from the factory with all the carb mods done already !! :biggrin:

Re: GZ Top Speed
All very true, except for this.
A working add-on tach can be had for a LOT less than that; somewhere around $100 if you just search a bit.

Re: GZ Top Speed
I don't find it too hard to believe. With everybody else jumping on the bandwagon, I'd bet that Amsoil is making an "energy conserving" oil or 3 these days too.
Not everybody has the benefit of...

Re: GZ Top Speed
I think this is ......looking for the right word......pretty lame. :roll:
The current engine design has a counter-balancer, for no other purpose than to reduce the vibrations. The GZ engine...

If you have a stock bike, I think that's well within it's capability. Lots of others have reported that; some even 80 occasionally. I'm thinking you need a windshield or need to lay down on the...

Re: FRONT SPROCKET
Looks like Patrick did a little of the work for you.
