[QUOTE="canuckxxxx, post: 103793, member: 2409"] We have an unexpected break in the weather here yesterday and today. Temperature right now is 7C and the roads are clear enough of snow and ice that I took the old beast for about 10 km spin. Overall I am very pleased with the way it ran. Still a little hesitation but I could almost live with it the way it is right now. The big bog/stumble occurs only when I am taking off from a stop. If I give it a bit too much throttle or let out the clutch to fast it will fall on it's face (not stall but just kind of sit there and gurgle) in which case I pull in the clutch and ease the throttle on and ease the clutch out. Any other time when I am rolling along I might get a bit of hesitation when speeding up and then a nice surge of power. It seems to have a bit more low end torque when cruising along in 5th gear at only about 3k RPMs; it will power away quite nicely when I try to speed up. When I got home I checked the temp of the plenum with my calibrated hand: it didn't seem quite as ice cold as the other times. The other thing I was impressed with is how hot the top of the engine and the coolant plumbing is when the bike if thoroughly warmed up. You could burn yourself on the coolant lines and you cannot keep you hand on the top of the engine block. Lots of heat here and only about 2" away from the bottom of the plenum. A properly shaped lump of aluminum to bridge that gap might keep that plenum nice and warm. I was going to save that move for the grab bar build but now I am thinking I will do it with this setup and if it makes the bike run flawlessly then I don't need the grab bar build. Anyways, I have been doing all this testing with no air cleaner so will work on that plus buy some modeling clay and try and form a shape for top of engine-to-bottom-of-plenum to eventually cast in aluminum. I am very encouraged and more committed now. Keep you all posted Brian [/QUOTE]
