Default V-Force sputtering and backfire in reverse??

She seems to run great going forward. I put it in reverse then she backfires and sputters and I have intermittent power. What's up?? Thanks.

Mark82ndABN,

It's the rev limiter kicking in to keep people from doing 70 mph in reverse[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Simply push in the little gray button next to your left hand that says "override"

It will run like a champ then, and will give you the extra power you need if you get stuck or something.

If you ever install a high stall primary spring, you will have to use the override button to allow the engind to reach
enough rpms to engage the clutch.

I can't think of anything else it could be.

OK, now I feel like an idiot. I've had my "V" in reverse only a few times but never had to really get on it in reverse until today so I've never noticed this. Thanks a million.

WOW, now we know how you keep that thing so clean........You don't ride it! That reverse system is a blast to play with. You can roost in reverse and forward. Next you will have to try a JUMP. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Tough crowd[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I sent the pipes directly to Jet Hot......only $135 for both pipes. How can you go wrong!

No they don't change color. They may change a bit on the luster, but they stay a silver color that matches the engine color. I did mine through Jet- Hot at $110. Mark was the one who gave me my inspiration to coat mine. I have some pics on my page. I think it is well worth the money.
