Subject: velosity stacks
ok, i really dialed in the stg7. the bike was
fine as things go, noproblems. then i tried out my velosity stacks under
individ. filters idea. this is ABSOLUTELY what you want if you want FANTASTIC,
smooth response from IDLE with the stg7. if you act now you will also recieve
as an added benefit, the most OUTRAGOUS FAT MIDRANGE TORQUE. this simple mod.
will brake the stock clutch loose on even a modest 5th gear rollon from
4,000 rpm, so send for your double D or heavy duty single (PCW) clutch stuff
now.
what i did was to take a set of stock
rubber stacks out of the box and trim the top flair back so that it was
about a 1/4" roll over. install the front ones in stock possition(facing
forward) and the rear ones facing each other . now resynch the carbs . now,
take them back off and rollthem in on themselves and stick them up in the
filters.( when you get them almost down to the first flange ring they will
relax and go round)
now the way i did it was to put the solid
toped ones (kit possition, rear) on the front with the wide part of the filter
toward the front. pull the filter up the stack just to where the crossover
holes ( and outer ring) are exposed. take some ellec. tape and put a couple
raps around the stack to close the holes off. drop them on the carbs and
tighten up.
next, put the former front filters on the
other to stacks with the stacks and wide part of filter facing one another.
pull the filters up to where you can measure 1/2" between the bottom of filter
ring and the top flange ring on the stacks. drop them on.
what you get is the front two about
1-1/2"-- 2" above the back ones, which seems wrong since you have more filter
exposed in front than back but since you have the top holes open it all evens
out. and the fronts being higher lets more air pass to the back which get more
because they are sideways. this all fits perfectly under the lid with no
binding. the other thing i did was to take the baffle out of both scoops (just
bolt the screens back on) this supplies ALOT more air to the center of the
carb stack.
anyway, this has made a HUGE improvement
in the total range performance of my bike, try it and let me know if you
agree......steve#1131
