Tether kill switch

We solved this by interupting the common color low tension wire to the ignition coil, with a length of twin core wire connected to a male-female style quick click two pin plug, clamped to the h/bar. When the plug is disconnected, the low tension circuit is opened - this may not be the best way and i...

Headers

Circus,<br>Thanks for the reply. Its obviously not as simple as big/small = top end/torque etc. Its just as obvious I need to find myself a bookstore and get "educated"<br>Once again, thanks for the help<br> <p></p><i></i>

Headers

Has anyone tried a 4-1 or 4-2-1 system using smaller or larger diameter tubing. The theory I've been told is smaller dia. tubing = more torque. Larger dia tube = more top end.

raising comp / skimming heads

My '97 t/ace has had the top of the barrels planned enough to give us approx 14/15:1 comp ratio. It has a very mild port job, altered cam timing, aftermarket 4-1, flat slides & runs on methanol - hence the high comp-ratio. The bike runs well & for the last 3 yrs have had no trouble - hope this helps...
