#173574 RoadieSL (User) 2004 Midnight Star Expert Boarder Posts: 463 Whats Wrong 3 Years, 2 Months ago   My son just bought a 2002 Roadstar 1600 with 5200 miles on it and it has better get up and go and pulling power than my 2004 1700.Could it be the HD 3" straights because of the lack of back pressure or could something be very wrong with my ride??   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/03/15 21:33 By RoadieSL.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #173575 Makcap (User) How boring it would be if we were all the same Platinum Boarder Posts: 1736 Re:Whats Wrong 3 Years, 2 Months ago   What has been done to both bikes how much is he out pulling you.   Logged     RIDE DS:219 MASSILLON OHIO   The administrator has disabled public write access. #173576 javawave (User) Over 17235 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5710 Re:Whats Wrong 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Would have to be more than the pipes. The lack of back pressure should hurt in the torque not help.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #173577 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Whats Wrong 3 Years, 2 Months ago   First you need to take into account that your only talking a 68 cc difference. 1602 vs 1670. The 1600 / 1700 is misleading. What has been done to both bikes?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #173589 Gram (Admin) Been there, wrecked that. Admin Posts: 4328 Re:Whats Wrong 3 Years, 2 Months ago   I am sure we could all figure it out, but you will need to post everything you know about the two bikes: Carb (stock or other) Pipes Air Kits Manifold (ported or stock) Etc... I have set up 1600s that will outpull most 1700s, but the 1700s can always win if all is equal. HKs are tough pipes to get high performance out of, but it can be done. If your son by chance using two into one pipes?

Mine 1700 as you can see from the pictures and my profile is as follows K&N Open face air filter 3" HK Straights Main 167.5 Clip 3 Pilot 35 PMS 2-1/2 turns AIS Removed 4000 Ft Elevation   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #173600 HoustonCH73 (User) she's gone............ Gold Boarder Posts: 967 Re:Whats Wrong 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Without starting a war I would add: how much do you weigh as compared to him? (you have to consider overall weight which includes add ons as well as the weight of the rider) also clutch slip? (this is a recently heated topic whereas some people believe that synthetics with stock clutch plate/springs will cause more slippage.) just an idea.   Logged     If you are going to do something, do it well, and leave something witchy....   The administrator has disabled public write access. #173601 RoadieSL (User) 2004 Midnight Star Expert Boarder Posts: 463 Re:Whats Wrong 3 Years, 2 Months ago   HoustonCH73 wrote: Without starting a war I would add: how much do you weigh as compared to him?

I was riding both bikes and no not at the same time.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #173602 Makcap (User) How boring it would be if we were all the same Platinum Boarder Posts: 1736 Re:Whats Wrong 3 Years, 2 Months ago   From what you are saying the 1600 is faster than the 1700 no matter who is on what. Where is it faster from start or at highway speed. The oil has been hot topic or at least clutch slippage.   Logged     RIDE DS:219 MASSILLON OHIO   The administrator has disabled public write access. #173604 RoadieSL (User) 2004 Midnight Star Expert Boarder Posts: 463 Re:Whats Wrong 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Just starting out up to 60 MPH +/-   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
