Post by: rascott on August 12, 2008, 05:30:43 AM: i assumed "redline" was a theoretical rpm limit.
wind it up past that and things could scatter.
i will run |removethispart|@4000 rpm when climbing hills, slightly over sometimes when running the gears, but thats about it.
little motors have to be run up in order to keep up w/the big boys, but not because they like it.
just a thought.
mabe.

Post by: Amilla on August 12, 2008, 09:28:01 AM: 3000 to 3500 is my shift point if I'm just cursing, but it can go up from there....
Gears and tires really wiped out my high speed....
but thats they way i like it ;D

It depends on my load & road conditions.

Post by: lowrider on August 12, 2008, 06:23:36 PM: Cool I'm running and shifting bout right then.now all I need to do is adjust my valves so that ticking noise it has will quit. My dad never had it done when he had it

Post by: SafetyGuy on August 12, 2008, 07:40:49 PM: When adjusting valves, it is sometimes good not to get rid of the tick completely. When you here ticking, you know the valves are not to tight. Over tightening can cause burnt valves. Remember, a little ticking doesn't hurt.

Post by: Skyhiranger on August 13, 2008, 06:45:44 PM: Just adjust the valves to spec and don't worry whether they tick or not. If they are adjusted correctly, they won't be too tight and burn valves.
