I just installed an "Ice cube" 498 kit, 13.5:1 wiseco, I also had them port the head for dunes. my mods are as follows....
hrc cam and needle(3rd clip), dyna fs adjustable set to position 1, Dr D. full exhaust, K&N with no lid. sea level running 100 octane.
prior to the 498 and porting I ran a 185 main and it ran perfectly from top to bottom. Now I have all kinds of issues. The company that makes the kit recommended a 185 main. It didnt work well, so I also tried 190 and 180 with similar results, heres what its doing.
The bike seems to have a rev-limiter of 7-8000 rpms, because it sputters at that point. it also runs kinda bad just off idle at about 2K rpms, you cant "lug" it at all or it wont run. It also dies frequently at idle.
I have to "short shift" the bike to get it to go.
any questions/suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I only have 2 days here at the coast, then Im back to duty in 29 Palms, CA...thanks,
Gary
