The 9 tooth sprocket for the SBP shift kit came and I put it on but I didn put on the new Shimano 34-11 Megarange cassette yet since I wanted to see what 1st gear would be like with the new 9t. Much better gearing for trail riding and hill climbing!!!! Also much better off a stop sign, no real need to pedal or burn the clutch. The steepest hill on my daily dirt ride I still have to pedal but I dont have to help much, I think the new cassette will do the trick having a 1st gear thats 2 teeth bigger. Also 8th gear is now usable but barely.
I will install the new cassette in a day or two, that should give me a real low 1st for serious hill climbing!
I also finished the first gallon of fuel for break in(20:1) and I mixed up a gallon at 32:1. I put in a new plug so I could read the plug and saw what I suspected, too rich. After a couple test runs and plug reads I ended up going to the smallest jet that came with the RT carb, a 6.5. I may need to jet back up one step if I go to a leaner mix like 36:1 or 40:1 latter on. The thing definitely runs better, and its a noticeable power increase.
I also replaced the plug wire with a carbon core wire because the ignition was messing up my digital speedo, its good to have a working speedo now!!! My top speed so far on flat ground on dirt is 32.4 MPH and 35.6 MPH on street. I was surprised to see that much difference between hard packed dirt and street! Maybe there is a grade that just isnt visually noticeable.
I am having so much fun dialing this thing in! Still need to go get my M1 or M2 license.
EDIT a couple days later: I put on the new cassette and 1st gear is lower but I had to swap the new 8th gear out for the old one because the new one was a tooth smaller than the old one and that would have been too high. It will take a few rides to really decide if I like the new gears all the way thru the range but 1st is certainly a keeper. Also the ratio difference between 1st and second is better, before the two ratios were too close.
Also the lights came.....
