I see. Also I suspect the poor mileage partly due to the slides being hot/melting pretty much all of the time. Now I got the dupont slides in it, cost me 20% of the price of the sled, but hopefully worth it.

Before I pull the trigger on getting the h/c on and dialed in, I need to run it a bit more. On the only time I had it out last year, the Digitron said I was at 1250/1300. It was a warm day at @ 35F and wet snow. This was the first time I've had it out since the digitron was installed and bungs were welded on.
Plugs were 95% washed & piston was 85% washed. I am kinda thinking that my egt probes were welded too close to the engine.

I don't know much about EGT readings, but yes, that seemed a little high.

Stock jetting w/ a 95 .6 head gasket. Beings that the piston and plug was clean it had plenty of fuel. I think I'm just going to have to see if that's where its normal temperature is.
Did you get your tall cover yet?

I've already paid Viperlover for it. I'll pick it up at the Swapmeet coming up.
And the HC kit? I will try out the new set up in 85 days.

I have two sets of 40-10s & a set of two speed HCs. Three different colored springs too.
Nice! Can't wait to hear your results. I will post mine here as well.

I'll order the helix from Dalton. Should I get a Y or R series? They will special cut an R series for whatever you want. It's a $25 up-charge.

Edit: The sled has a brand new 1.5"/144" Camo Crossover on it.

I have an update on this again. About 4 grams in heel and about 5 grams in tip. White 4 stroke HC spring in primary.
Secondary: stock yamaha 41 deg helix and green spring @80 deg. Really hauls the mail, but overrevs to about 8000.

Update:
1,1 gram in heel
7,2 gram in the middle
3,3 grams on the tip.
Yamaha 39 deg helix with green spring @70deg
Overrevs to 8000, but not as fast as the previous set up.

I read somewhere that 7850 - 7900(7900 was thee VERY most). 7850 was optimum for ours. This is with a GYT single on it. So mabey 2 more washers at the tip?
Yes, but it's kind of high before the top end. Oh well, I already maxxed out the middle, so tip it is. I'll try the bigger bolts if i still have some left. This and a washer will add about 1,8 grams to the tip I think. Keep in mind this is a pro action venture 500. But you are right, 7800 rpm is the optimum. I might even try out the 41 deg helix again to load it more.
