RedOrZed Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Could be too big and you are loosing engine back pressure. Did you fit a bigger main jet in the carb when you did it? Did you fit a freeer-flowing air-filter? If so, fine tuning is required. If not, you've made the bike louder, which <> faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan09 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Tried earthing the cable behind speedo? that broadens 6th gear and makes it run through alot better. Otherwise you might find youself having to go into 5th all the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan09 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 You will see a connector block behind the speedo with 3 cables going in one side and only 2 the other. The one thats singled out with nothing coming out the otherside i think its a green cable with a brown stripe? any way disconnect it or cut and then earth it onto the frame/yolks you'll notice a lot of a difference.
