Poor performance 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Hi,
I own a 2006 Roadstar with a Champion Sideccars Trike Kit. This is my second Roadie (The first was a '04 Midnight) I know the theory and I'm no stranger to rejetting these bikes, but now I'm starting to feel a bit brain dead. I live in The Valley of the Sun, AKA Maricopa County Arizona. It's summer and hotter than the hinges of hell. I've been playing with the jetting for a while now, and on a flat road with full excelleration it'll run all the way up to 5500 no problem (Dyna 3000) I usually run through the first three gears then level off (don't want the tickets. I'm running a Hypercharger Pro R and Roadhouse slip-ons. All seemed good 'till Sunday when my son and I went for a ride to Roosevelt Dam, then to Highway 87 and back to Mesa. Highway 87 has a number of steep grades and my trike had a lot of difficulty pulling them. Under full accelleration I could'nt get any further up the rpm scale than 3500. The wind was gusting and I have a Switchblade Two-Up windshield, and granted with all of the sub-structure and automotive steel wire wheels this thing is a pig, but it does have a ton of torque. My current carb settings are 37.5 primary 190 Mikuni main, not sure on the PMS, I have a Barons thumb screw and adjusted it on the road. Any ideas?
