Hey everyone, finally after a long summer I finished my skid conversion to a 136 inch mono from an 09 vector. Everything went well and running strong but seem to be slow at top end. Things i have done and specs are as fallows.
136 ripsaw 2 with 108 studs.
8 tooth extrovert drivers.
Swapped 22 tooth top gear for a 23.
Www secondary and silver primary.
8DN 10 weights with 2 - 4.5 gram rivets (also added another 1.5 gram of salder to the tips to have it ingadge at 3500 and run to 8550 and stay there.
51/43 helix
Cleaned power valves but haven't adjusted yet.
Also plenty of sexy powder coat to pretty her up a little;-)
The machine does take off like a scalded cat but shouldn't it be able to reach 100mph or should I just live with it? Was thinking i could go down from a 38 lower gear to a 36 or 37 but yamaha doesnt make one thats reverse friendly also the 23 top was as big as i could get
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Dave
