    it is easy to keep up if he can't get his started,

    I agree with sleepy it's lots more fun to ride a slow bike fast then not ride at all cause it's broke or won't start.

    the All Balls starter was originally what I was gonna buy, got several friends with them.
    My crankin pressure is a little high. And I don't know how to change it in the power commander. That's whats causing the starter clutch to mess up.


    Talkin about Tech Cycles starters.

    The Tech cycle starter is suppose to be for bikes with up to 15.1 compression ratio.

    Don't know, I was told I needed to take some timing out man. That's causing it.
    That is in the computer.....The Power Commander V is what's controllin that too.
    Wished the Thundermax would of been out when I needed it.

    i am not sure that is the problem......i would research a bit more. your less than 10;1.....the timing may be off a bit, but not the compression or pressure as your calling it...

    If'n I'm right you can control the crankin pressure with the timing some.:rant:

    On a carbuerated bike you can control it with the timing coil. Right.....

    Its done with the timing man. The timing is controlled by the computer.
    I don't know how to change timing in the computer.
    I would have to go to Independence who knows the PCV and have them to pull timing out.

    If you got the right tuner on yer bike it makes it easier. But HD keeps changin stuff to mess the after market up.
    Then we have California wantin to sue companies who sell things to alter EPA on bikes.
    They demand it says not legal for sale for on roads vehicles in California.


    California has a lot of things messed up.:gah:
