Keith,
No doubt that the 4 speed trannys whine at high speeds but they should do
better than 80...been there :-)
Actually...the bike takes on a new personality at that speed. Really starts
to hum. I love it :-)
Regards...Ian

Finally got my bike back after 9 months at the shop (work/winter storage). Bike ran great, much better than when I brought it in for service. Only thing I noticed was that she would knock/ping at around 60-70 when accelerating or when under load. Then also noticed during the 2nd ride that under hard acceleration, there seemed to be a miss, full power, then as if the spark was cut out or fuel was cut out, then back, then off, then back. Can this be plug related? I'm going to change out the plugs anyways and give it a try. Also have some fun electric stuff to work on, i.e., blinkers/flashers work when they want (think this has to do with the rear blinkers I installed), left blinker indicator on dash is out (probably bulb as mechanic said it was working a few days before I picked it up - he gave me a new bulb). BTW, what type of speed are 4 speed stock Ambo's running? She seems to scream on the highway at 70 mph in 4th gear, though she keeps pulling. Keith Ruff 71 Police Amabassador - NJ |
