Finally after 2 unsuccessful engines it has happened. AND this is just the start to dial it in.
CycleX 915 kit and crank, JMR Stage 4 head, Megacycle 125/75, Carrillo rods, FBG undercut gears, 17/48, Kerker with competition baffle. Keihin CR31's 120 mains, needle in 3rd or 4th slot(?) 6000' elevation, 78 degrees, 19% humidity, 4000' air density.
First dyno attempt for me and the bike. 4 pulls with the first aborted. Really fat on the top end.
The advice was to go down 2 sizes on the mains and hold off on the needles. I thought I had 125's in it so when I returned home to drop them 2 sizes I found I had 120's and not 125's. I only have 115's on hand so I put them in. These CR31's are a dream to jet!!! Looks like I'll make a trip to the 2 Honda dealers in search of a couple more sets of mains to give me a more complete set - 110's and 105's. Who'da thought that small of a jet?! Hoping the next dyno visit will get me dialed in.
James at American Bike Tailor is great to work with. I surprised him with the results. He thinks with proper jetting we can get another 10 to 12 HP. Factor in the altitude and that should get me in the ball park of 100 HP +/or -. I'm good with that.
