2003 SV Powerband problems

[tigerblade]

I know I've been into the red a few times and haven't bumped the limiter.  Really couldn't *feel* that it was still pulling up there though so I've been shifting a little earlier unless I'm holding a gear between corners.

My 2003 has a stock engine with M4 race pipe (not the high pipe) running pump gas. Mine easily pulls past 11,000.

Shift at 9k?

Bob (and everyone else running an SV),

You should always upshift at 6K on the 03 SV's...


 ;D

Hmm.  I've got the same pipe.   :-/

On our endurance bike [03] we run a mildly ported head, the rest I can't tell you. M4 exhaust[low].
We shift at 10k, the tach is off by around 1k from the factory.In the draft I have seen 12k
Bob, you guys are close, but really look at the RRW article from the GNF.Use that timing as a starting point.
With the soft limiter, you will never be bouncing off it like the 02s.

100 % stick with the Power Commander & VP fuel. I have yet to test anything that works as well.

The only thing you have not mentioned a change with is cam timing

As SD stated start there. I would have to look at my notes for cam timing we have used. I know one set of #'s gave us more midrange and the other set more top end.

I would not be able to check or degree cams till after the AMA Road America

6K?

On my 2000 I used to shift at 8500.

Must be that big bad a$s superbike engine of yours.

Any notes on cam timing would be great. I don't recall him saying he did anything with mine..

I'll get the most recent dyno numbers, and post them.

Thanks for the ideas!

Bob, if you do not have adjustable sprockets, you can't change cam timing.If that is the case,it's not your problem.

[Super Dave]

But upon assembly, if the sprockets were not put in correctly, the timing would still be off.

As for Power Commanders, yeah, they can work...

But when you're doing AMA Superbike and they fail, it really doesn't help for any kind of qualifying, etc.  That's why they came off.  

As for testing anything other than VP that was better...I haven't had any of you guys ever buy any Power Mist from me to test...so I guess you're not testin' everything, are you?  LOL!   ???  

Ah, the motorcycle industry...

Hey Dave, i hope to be back at 4&6 the week of 7/12
If things are going ok, and they have time, maybe we can do some tests.On the SVs, if you put the cams in wrong, your not going to make it through 1 dyno run, let alone race.
