278.544 Kilos an hour - that's quick for 19 years back - shows what a good bike it is/was.......also sounds more impressive than sad old Imperial -
Does anyone know why the US has delayed so long in going metric ?
One would think that "Imperial" wouldn't be well-thought of, given the history .. he he

 

Shadow, Did you pull all the emission stuff off your bike? Could you give a breakdown of what steps you took, including how you had to re-tune the bike to make it run correctly after getting all the power robbing junk off?

 

Sorry, no - it was removed by the previous owner. I can post pictures of what the tappet cover and hoses look like now, if it'll help.I also can't help on the tuning - mine has non-std exhausts and a Dynojet kit. I'm told though, by those who know, that rejetting won't be neccessary if you "gut" the beast, as they are over-jetted ex factory.
Someone else did the emission "gut" on the Forum within the last 6 weeks or so - maybe do a search.....

 

I had 175mph out of my blade some years ago!

 

I just checked, mine goes 185mph.
it says so right on the speedometer.
