K&N Air Filter

[positron]

I have sandybikespares stainless steel pipes with standard exhaust, and I had some issues with bike not revving past 7k or so (there's a thread here about it), and ended up replacing what appeared to be an ancient air filter with a K&N. No other changes. Bike now has more power than I ever wanted. It pulls away like a train and by around 10k the power is still coming on strong that discs in my dodgy lower back starts to protest from the sheer force of the meat-sack that I am getting pushed harder and harder against the seat.

With standard air filter mine ticks over between 1.6-1.8k which I thought was the norm? Rev wise easily over 12k all the time!! Still wanna fit a k&n tho

Doesn't really need to be that high, around 1250rpm is average.

TPS should be set on the 5000rpm mark, plenty of info on here mate.

I've got a set of carb  gauges but haven't used them yet, is setting the tps just using the rpm  meter to show  it's in range?

you set the tps so it reads centre (think its 3k but I could be wrong - there is a shop manual in the downloads section on this forum, tells you in there about setting TPS); the rpm needle moves up/below 3k [whatever] to tell you whether to rotate the TPS clockwise or anticlockwise.

Yes clayt74 5000rpm on meter is correct.

Seriously, why would you bother writing that if you don't actually know what you're talking about?
