i haven't dyno'd my bike yet, it's only ran for a few seconds on a test firing (no radiator).

so i asked mobbins if he was a)running oem cam gears - he's not, he's running adjustable... and b)what degrees did he advance intake, retard exhaust, etc. - he hasn't messed with the cam timing at all. he just wanted the ability to do so.

and he dyno'd over 150rwhp on oem exhaust on a dyno that the owner claimed always read low.

mine idled just find with a 954 ECU when i fired it up for a few seconds.


are you sure you got the valve timing correct to OEM measures?
