    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

With pods and stock exhaust, all that I had to do to my 850, at 4,500+ feet riding elevation, was raise the main jets to 117.5's
I could see using 120's at Sea level with just a pipe. Perhaps even 122.5''s

Hi GS,

As my father told me '' speed costs $$$$$$. You wanna go faster??? Give the buggers more $$$$$$."

yay some good answers lol...

im about 1300 above sea level..the bike dont really run to bad with 120;s (says the plugs at least)

also i have a uni foam filter (was in it when i got it)

an yes i have stock airbox...dont really want pods...yet at least

but i do have the 4-1 header...which sounds very good imo..i also have a custom made baffle so its not all open

kinda like i tell the 250 riders when they wanna go faster...get a bigger bike...which also falls in my case but my 850 does the job for now
 
You appear to have taken offence to some of the humorous remarks
that's too bad, but ask a silly question, get a silly answer
all that aside....
You have to let it out, shift to a lower gear, 6k should be the lowest rpm you see, leave it in one gear and ride the torgue curve don't worry about overeving, you can't hurt that motor, let it scream.
double the rpm = double the HP
however it will accelerate faster as you ride it off the cliff,
nice badass photo too, but you are wearing the wrong kind of biking shorts....maybe crop it a little tighter
 
see i was kinda afraid of hurtin the motor..i tired it earlier an yes its a noticable increase..

yes i know i look silly in a nice jacket with shorts on...but it gets so damn hot sometimes i dont wanna wear pants
