droptopcaddy,

One of the wrench gurus will step in, but I did one time see something about a chart that shows where these bikes should hit the rev limiter in each of the gears if completely stock. You have the 1600, so I really can't help you with details. I got a copy of the chart, and my '05 1700 hits the limiter right where it's supposed to -- 39 mph in 1st and 62 mph in 2nd. I also know that the 1700 rev limit is higher than the 1600.

Ok, wrench gurus, jump in!

Re:info on jetting problem or not 10 Months ago  
yea starts cutting out at 50 drops on its nose,,,52 to 55 on yours so your pretty close to mine but i added the rev tech thing from the dealer soposed to take it to 5000 rpm but it made no difference at all,,,also has anybody added a front cog for more bottom end,,,my buddies with the big air kit dont cut till 60 mph at least i want a new filter anyways what should i get? the barron flame looks pretty good

Are you sure it's the limiter and not running out of gas? Have you checked your float level?

First you need to find out what you have in there for jetting. While you're at it you can check the float level and make sure everything is working right.

I would for sure port the manifold. Really helps pull everything together and helps get the most bang for the buck. My opinion anywho
