True Classic
As some of you may know, recently Kristy and I moved from suburban Denver to the mountains. My old commute featured approx. 300-400 feet in elevation change and all suburban streets, my new commute includes 3,000 feet in elevation change (from 5,300 to 8,300) and many miles of twisting mountain roads. I know, poor me right?!?!? :mallet:
Well, this change has revealed some inadequacies in my X.
1) The current jetting is fine at 5,300ft but off at 8,300 feet,
2) my current suspension settings are not quite up to mountain road standard,
3) my brakes suck!!! :censored:
So Xmas is coming early for the barn find in the shape of a wideband AFR sensor/gauge to sort out the jetting (which will be even more crucial once the new engine is installed), changed spring rates and adjusting the Konis to suit and then tinkering with ride heights and camber settings, and an upgraded front brake system (from one of our vendors).
Fortunately our new garage is well insulated. BOOYAH!!! :headbang::headbang::headbang: I get to play with my toys...errr...I mean tools and then take the X out for some test drives. :grin::grin::grin::grin::grin:
