#107472 VikingWarhorse (User) American by birth-Viking by blood Junior Boarder Posts: 193 Sweet spot 3 Months, 4 Weeks ago   Was just wondering what your bikes "sweetspot" is. What I mean is at what speed does it seem to run best. I know highway and in town speeds will differ but ...none the less. Mine seems to run effortlessly at about 80 mph. The exhaust note seems to just hum right along and not over work the motor at all. I ran cross country at that speed for 3 days with no issues at all.   Logged     www.vikingwarhorse.webs.com -recently updated 40 new pix 11/30/08   The administrator has disabled public write access. #107473 johann66 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 71 Re:Sweet spot 3 Months, 4 Weeks ago   I know mine is a little over 70.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #107561 Liquid_Edge (User) I'd Rather Be Riding Expert Boarder Posts: 547 Re:Sweet spot 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Between 70 and 75 for me.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #107573 stumpman (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 74 Re:Sweet spot 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Liquid_Edge wrote: Between 70 and 75 for me.Between 75 and 85 she buzzes along like no big deal and has power to boot at that speed now.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #107590 vegasdave (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 773 Re:Sweet spot 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Yep 80 She loves 80   Logged     If Your Not Moving Forwards,Your Moving Backwards Live To Ride,Ride To Live 06 Road Star Candy Red SMOKIN!!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #107611 Curt (User) Never to old to ride!

Never any long distances. Rarely use 5th. Not very often I even go faster than 50. Lots of 35 to 45 mph stuff between 3rd and 4th on New England back roads. I've hit the stock rev limiter 2 or 3 times in the past year, 3,400 miles. It's almost all sweet! I may try the fuel pump elimination trick without replacing the inlet valve in the carb. I figure if anyone's a candidate for that mod, I am.   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #107652 hammersly (User) Just a few more minuets Fresh Boarder Posts: 66 Re:Sweet spot 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago   fallin right in line between 75 and 80. just seems to pppuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrr   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #107684 ironman (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 263 Re:Sweet spot 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago   fifth gear doesnt really smooth out/pull nicely until 70-72mph. after that, its all good   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
