It makes it a little harder, but just having good compression to begin with is hard to kick without the compression release lever.

 

Cheap upgrades???

Yet another question. k&n high flow air filter, or a uni?

Uni will protect better

 

I am sadly parting out one of my favorite toys. Please let me know if there is anything you need that I might have. I still have a lot of stuff, engine in straight frame, exhaust, air box, seat, plastic, excellent steering column, wheels, tires, handle bars, more..

What octane gas should I use? I live in Utah so it goes down to 85

 

Really? How come?

I use 87. Octane just slows the combustion speed. If you hear pinging, go to the next octane. Otherwise run as low as you can get away with, but 85 sounds too low.

 

Haha yeah, here in Utah, 87 is plus and 89 is premium.
