'98 EV Engine Dies At Speed - A Dope Tuned My Bike!

[Bill Havins]

We've been on the Interstate for the first 100 miles.  Two-up and 75 pounds of "stuff."  Traveling at 75mph (80 indicated).  Calculated mileage at 37+ MPG.  Things are much, much better.

Thanks for the input!

One thing wrong with using the timing marks, you assume that a prior owner put the flywheel back in the right spot, it will fit in any one of 6 positions.
This can easily be checked with the rocker cover off, all the engines I have messed with the valves rock at TDC on the exhaust stroke (exhaust closing while inlet is opening)

Good point, Roy.  Long day in the saddle today.  EV ran very well.

Stopped to eat lunch.  Elevation 8600+ feet.  Bike idles very slow (<1000 rpm).  Faulty barometric pressure sensor or just really thin air?  Otherwise mileage has been very good.
