Platinum Boarder Posts: 2731 Re:Quicker speed from dead stops 2 Years, 2 Months ago   The Roadie is by no means a speed demon, but in my books for what it is, it suits me just fine!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #262852 iminthegaragedear (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 217 Re:Quicker speed from dead stops 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Swapping to a 1700 ignition module will get you 500 more rpm before hitting the rev limiter. It's an exact fit and can sometiomes be picked up on ebay cheap. Just plug and play. I doubt this would add much to your hole shot though as the R* power isn't at the top end. Welcome to the clinic!

I am more than pleased with it's power, performance and speed. I had previously ridden my 1982 Yami XJ650 Seca Turbo with a 12psi boost kit. Man that was a fast ride and scarry to boot. Tons of HP and speed and crappy handeling and brakes. Reminds me of my old GTO. Massive power and 0 handeling & brakes. Anyway the R* is an awesome cruiser overall period. It's not a racer but a very well balanced machine.   Logged     1999 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #262901 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:Quicker speed from dead stops 2 Years, 2 Months ago   I have the 31T pulley and love it, but it fits my riding style, I seldom run 80mph for any long periods of time so the higher revs are not an issue for me...It did not hurt the top end speed and in fact increased it a bit...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #262949 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3208 Re:Quicker speed from dead stops 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Same here... switched to a 31 tooth front pulley. Kept the belt. Put in a Dyna 3000 with a 5k rev limit... H&V 2-1 Pro-Pipe, K&N universal filter, jetted. And she runs just great. Would love to go up against a Harley and see how she'd do. I whoop my buddies stock * pretty good.   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #262999 StarCruiser06 (User) If you can't be with the one you love... Wait! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1280 Re:Quicker speed from dead stops 2 Years, 2 Months ago   I dunno, I figure a bike that weighs nearly a thousand pounds fully loaded and can leave a fifteen foot strip of rubber on the pavement when you dump the clutch from a rolling start... is plenty fast enough...! Heck, I've been rolling as fast as 15 MPH, ripped open the throlle and left ten feet of rubber behind me... Maybe I'm just getting older, but... I'd be inclined to tell your buddies... "Go ahead and order the beer for me... I'll be right behind ya'..."   Logged     Over 50...? Never miss the oppertunity to pee, never waste an erection...

By far the biggest increase in the bottom end came from swapping to a 31T pulley. That will put a smile on your face.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #263024 IowaRoadie (User) In youth you learn.... In age you understand Senior Boarder Posts: 340 Re:Quicker speed from dead stops 2 Years, 2 Months ago   You say you had a Seca 650 Turbo??? I had one too, and it was scary when that turbo kicked in. I agree it was a heavy , clutzy bike but was fun back in the day!!!!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
