CCW tha Heist

KTM, no pinging or missing. Clutch isn't slipping. The speedo gets just above 40mph and seems to stop. Don't know if it's broken. I've ridden a lot of other bikes, the sense of speed is there it's just not showing on the speedo.

I need to do a run with my brother and have him follow or drive beside me to check out my speed. She's not broken in yet so I don't want to go full thottle just yet. I find myself in 4th gear on our 40mph backroads.

Anyway what type of gas are you guys running, regular, high test?

Good idea with the ride along. I run Super Unleaded and Synthetic Oil. I am using Bel-Ray EXP Synthetic.

JK3 - Check your cable dude. Make sure there's no kinks or bends. Check that it's tightly screwed on both ends and squirt some bicycle cable lube in it while you're there.

I replaced my speedo with a plain MPH unit. $40 and works perfect. I used a 2240:60 ratio, seems right on.

there definitely seems a speedo issue or cable, either way give weaver a call.

i used nothing but super 93, with the compression I get on my bike reg makes it run rough. i also use the B&G sheer power did an oil change yesterday . Even with all the hard riding i was doing the B&G was still a pretty purple color, had some metal on the plug but thats expected with wearing her in.

Kev, great link thanks

gardo,
I don't understand why you say you have high compression when it turns out that you don't have the milled head. How have you increased the compression on your FMM167 engine? Changing the carburetor to Weaver's top secret one will not change the compression ratio of you engine.
The engine should run just fine on 87 octane (regular) unless the compression ratio has been increased.

The proof is in the numbers Weaver has checked my bike 3 separate times and the numbers were always high. Not sure why but it explains why my Widow moves

Gardo,
Are you saying that your engine has higher compression for some unknown reason? What compression ratio is Weaver getting when testing your engine? How is he testing your engine? Is your engine badly carboned up from running too rich?
