Nice to see some numbers.
I'm surprised you have riding conditions up there, I could cut my grass if I wanted to over here in New Hampshire...

Was turning 8600 today, will need to change rivot on tip from 3.6 to 4.5. Now sure why it was turning 8450 yesterday and 8600 today? 4.5 on the tip and helix to 70 should do it. Anyone have a 51/43 helix??

Only on the lake! You can ride up around Bosebuck now. Tote roads are good.

You get get a used Yamaha 51/43 helix on this site pretty cheap I'd imagine. It's the stock helix in an RX-1 or Apex, but will shift more life a 48/40 by other's brands standards of degree measurement such as Bender.
