I removed the air cleaner and took a look at the servo cable it was a bit loose so
I took all the slack out of the cable. I then whent for a ride, I tried the 5500 in
third and drop to second, and pin the throttle I can feel the boost come in but it
is not all that strong. could the servo cable be to tight?should there be any
slack?I also heard that the air cleaner is to small for the bike and that the top
cover shoud be removed has any one tried this? What is the story of the full power
vmax sold in canada?
