Well, I have to give most of my thanks to Bill and Terry there, cause without the two of them id still be turning screws and moving clips, and cussing and everything else.
She got a proving on her set up just today actually. With the BC rally pretty much a complete bust for me (story on that to come later) and Brett and a couple of others, and a wash out for just about everyone else, Dogma, RageZro and myself searched out an alternate route home other than the four lane boredom...what we found was probably THE single best road IVE ever ridden this side of West Va... INDIANA 250...AWESOME. Up hill Down hill, tight 10mph with a 10% grade turns, banked, 90mph sweepers....absolutely FANTASTIC. I dont think my ES saw anything more than 3rd gear, and any speed less than 40mph thru that entire road. I was wickin it down that sucker. I slowed up at one point for Jim and Dale, just to make sure i saw some lights still back there...had to wait a while, they had to be a good 1/4 mile back. But once i saw the headlights, i blasted off again.....
THE RESULT...shes a hair rich. Gonna back off the needle one slot and off the adjustment screw a .25 turn. Not at the same time, see if one has more effect than the other, She was gurgling a bit down low when she got good and warm and wasnt QUITE as smooth. BUT, I am in love with that machine all over again. I havent gone that fast on that tight of a road in a little while, and she just STUCK when I set her up. Throttle was good in the upper revs, never getting below 5-6K at any point in time and it was just a flinch on the wrist and we were from 50mph to 80-90mph in short order. I loved it... and if anyone ever gets out this way, look me up, i will GLADLY ride the two hours out to that road to show it to you...
