[QUOTE="canuckxxxx, post: 103426, member: 2409"] OK guys, thanks for the encouraging comments. Joe, you must be a mind reader with your "make or break" comments. I was starting to have some second thoughts about the whole single carb. conversion. Maybe that is because, up to now, I have not done anything that cannot be undone and put back to stock. But the next steps might be to punch holes in my cooling systems so that takes some careful consideration. One problem I need to overcome before I do any more testing is that the outside air temperature is so cold now (10 to 14 F). I would like to get some flexible pipe to route the exhaust outside so I can run the bike inside my heated garage. Have a carbon monoxide detector plugged in close to the bike. Knowing that there are others like yourself and Westgl who get good performance without heating the plenum makes me think that mine should be running better than it is. I definitely think that heat would make a big difference in the cool climate that I live in. I want to make sure I have tried everything possible with the setup I have now before moving on so the testing will continue. Brian [/QUOTE]
