Well after comeing back from visting family in WA state i make it back to Rapid City SD to spend the night well decide to go for a ride with a friend well leave a gas station and my bike begins to knock
so i hobble it back to my freinds place and take it to the dealer the next day i'm preparing for the worst but hopeing for the best he tells me it's a possible main or rod bearing that has gone bad
but he cannot tell me for sure unless he tears my bike apart so i asked him if they would consider doing an overboar kit if it is minor well he dosen;t wana tackle that task so my plan is now to just get my bike and reasearch what to do weather to fix or buy a new bike this is where some suggestions and help would be greatly appricated i had earlier plans of doing a small turbo setup on it before this motor problem now i feel i'm better off doing a overboar kit if for the most part the block and case is salvagble i like to keep it for long riding and in town but wana have the extra kick of power for when i do run across the smart ass on the 1000's i'm a big guy 300lbs so i could use alittle more umph to cream em so this is what i have thought about doing i still wana keep milage and reliabilty so i figure doing a 1397 overboar kit with cams,head,and throttlebody work, and adding a 40 shot of Nos to the setup running 17 42 gearing and adding the overdrive gear setup i saw awhile back that makes 5th and 6th higher ratios if i do it that way i feel in 5th and 6th it will seem i have the 17 40 gearing? or am i off on this? that way i think it'll give me plenty of umph on the lower side and if i really need a kick hit the nos but then when i'm traveling across the highway i can have a bit of econmy yet and if i plan on just doing a all out travel like i just did then i could put a 40t on the back and mabey get hella god milage i have the 17 42 right now and on my trip of 3500 miles i avearage about 34mpg doing about 80 most of the time i'd like to up that some get it closer to 40 anyways thats kinda what i was thinking. please suggestions and opinions on this setup are more then welcome and greatly appricated as for going turbo still doubt it would be cost effective i kinda wana keep the budget under 7000 or else i feel i just as well buy a new bike and wait another year for a turbo setup cause goal on hp is 200 to 220 on motor alone the Nos is just for kicks but i want it built to handle it when i decide to play with it
thanks again
