that can be arranged. No driving footage, but a startup, idle and some revs is easily done!

that should be enough to tickle some people's fancies...and create some anxiety haha.

so running 87 octane is good for the 1st gen?

it can be.....depending on quality of the gas and the tune in the bike.

....that being said, our 87 octane was ethanol free up to last fall. Now is 15% ethanol.....but I've had to switch to 91-92....and if your bike sits for extended ammounts of time, then the ethanol can separate,causing all kinds of issues.

wandered out to the garage today and remembered to take some footage...

here ya go..........the video really amplifies the knock from the excessive compression, once warmed up and into proper FI parameters it's better, but still audible in the backgraound ever so slightly....I'll be switching gasoline makers and try some Octane booster to see how that levels it out....I could get agressive with the timing at idle too, but want to subdue it mostly with fuel it will run on.

did some more fueling today....made the idle richer then normal, and the knocking was silenced....adjusted the accelerator pump and it's 98%.

Small rattle when I open the throttle agressivly at 4,000 rpms....I'll have to get picky to make that go away, but it's totally tunable.

All in all it's running very strong and no heating issues as of yet, but the temps haven't gotten hot or anything around here.

Off to the drag strip in 2 weeks, so the first impressions of the cam number and ET's will be taken.

What did your bike dyno at??? What are your cam #'s

[badassjake]

haven't dynoed it ...might get there sometime. I ended up using 109/105

keep me updated im debating on doing this, this winter

[badassjake]

At the drag strip now....did a personal best without trying all that hard...60 ft are lowest ever and on a crappy traction and bumpy as hell track. I'm rather pleased so far. Holding tight together.
