Working under the tail of my 2000 cyclone, I noticed 2 odd things: 1) The computer under there says LIGHTNING across it and 6800 RPM Rev-Limiter. Is this stock on the Cyclone? Seems odd. 2) There is some sort of breather tube that ends right above my rear tire. What is it??? I don't like anything breathing oil onto my tire! | ||

Mike -- 1 -- you may have the famous race ingnition (in fact, I'm almost certain you do) -- it works fine on your bike . . . 2 -- that's the breather hose for the primary/gearbox -- it'll blow spooge is the primary is overfilled, get's water in it (careful when washing the bike), but should otherwise be pretty irnorable | ||

Famous race ignition eh? What kind of gains are to be found with this ignition? | ||
| Bomber |
any gains will be found to the left of a decimal point -- the chances of it's being measured, much less felt, on a strett scoot are nil to nada | ||

btw, Mike -- you seem like a nice guy and all, but I ain't going under your tail again, OK? ;-} (Message edited by bomber on January 17, 2007) | ||

So was that ignition box originally for an S1? (no. Not touching the tail thing) | ||

Nate -- I don't believe so -- the race ignition module for my MaDuece (correct p/n and all) also had a lightening bolt and the word lightening on it -- part of the pro series branding at one point, perhaps? | ||

Most everybody says they can't feel the difference with the Race Ignition, but I could have sworn mine ran different. Just seemed to rev quicker. Not much, but perceptible, and seemed like an improvement. I don't think this would show on the dyno, and according to the chart shown in the Dyno section here, it doesn't. But I guess it depends on the exact configuration you're running, what cams, heads, pipes, carb, etc. Probably everybody is running something slightly different. | ||

Man, now I'm curious what else is done to my motor! When I bought it I thought it had a slip on muffler, k&n intake, and was rejetted to match. Now I learn the previous owner put on the stainless braided brake lines, the oil cooler, Race Ignition, full exhaust system along with the intake, and I'm still assuming it's just a jet kit and not an actual performance carb. I don't know about cams/heads. | ||

The guy I bought my M2 from swore the dealer jetted the bike for the K&N Race filter, and the Vance & Hines muffler it had. But when I finally pulled the jets, they were factory stock sizes, according to my parts manual. (195 Main, 42 Low) Changed to 48 Low, so far that's all... |
