Anyone have any ideas on tip weight. The son in laws 01 SX500R peaks at 7900. It has .8 in both pivot & tip of the 8CA weights. If I go up to the 2.4 in the tip I'm thinking that I'll be too low. I'm thinking that I probably need 1.8 at the tip??????? I read somewhere about puting a washer over the rivet before you buck it???Should I drill some of the center out of the 2.4s. I have a gram scale. This is a modified VMJohns set up. Basically it's what I had in the garage. Stock springs, 8CAs and an 8BVFA RX1 helix. 51/43 or actually it measures 48/42-43. (That came from Mr. Viper and Turk.)it is over reving as that is a 7800 rpm peak motor. sounds like it needs some tip weight to me.
I think if I do anything, I'll put the 2.4s in the tip and drill some of the center of the rivet out. Hopefully losing around .5g. Isn't it for every gram, there should be around a 100 rpm change?If it goes any higher I would add a bit of tip weight.
