CCW tha Heist

[barnone]

Gardo,
Why the new carb and compression check? Problems?

[jape]

Stop it! I pulled a rib today and it hurts when I laugh.

The first think that I noticed was the clutch. Much more responsive and allot "Tighter". I love it. Granted, my bike has 500miles on it, and it might have been the same when new. The '11 is quiet. MUCH quieter than the '10. Some will like that, some wont. One thing's for sure, the DMV will like it. The turn radius it different on the '11. Not quite as sharp as my '10. for me, it made the bike easier to navigate though. more throttle response with the '11 and also the sitting position is different. Not better or worse than the '10, just different. It's awesome though...

KTM,
Is there really a difference on the 2011? I noticed that you are selling your 2010 and mentioned a custom carburetor. What is the carb?

With the 42/102 the bike is pulling great. Got the carb tuned in real well now. Great idle, cleared up a little stumble with AP. Just a pleasure in the city stoplight to stoplight. Moves right along easily at 65 on the highway. I really feel like I'm learning some shit. I can start to feel something should be tweaked here or there and am starting to "get it".

I'm loving these bikes. I'll even spread the love to the DF cause the suns out and I'm in a good mood. :)

Hey guys, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Steve. I purchased a 2011 heist about a month ago from KTMracer and I love it. I have roughly 200 miles on it so far, but now am starting to ride it everyday to work so I should have a lot more in no time. I will post up some pics when I get a chance. Thanks!

Gardo,

Nope was running lean still with my original Carb and I talked to Weaver so he built me a new one,with some custom tweaks. When we tested the bike it pulled like a beast. hit high speeds fast and without hesitation without throttling her out. I'm getting an awesome sound and response from her. We did some checking and the engine is reading a high compression. I get a great amount of torque out of her from her and only use ultra 93 octane.
It was more curiosity than anything else.
With Americade looming in 10 days I wanted to make sure that the Widow is at peak performance. When I get back from my business trip later this week I'll take some close up pics and a ride report.

Fuzzkill, nice to meet you and will be great to get another customer's response on the bike from the Vegas area

So it's still a PZ30 but with jet changes?
What do you mean that the bike is running a high compression? Did you change the piston or mill the head?

Greetings, Fuzzkill, and welcome to the boards! Looking forward to seeing some pix of your steed.

cheers
