 Well, I left the 14 on and also turned the timing back a tick. Retarding the timing was supposed to help pull more r's according to another thread about lengthening the power band of the k5. Its true. And its not like other changes, where you get help in one place and lose it somewhere else. I still am going to drop the reed spacer, but haven't pulled it apart, yet.

Have you thought about using a MX holeshot device? I have, and think it would be the ticket in certain situations, it would keep the bars out of your face and allow you to accelerate up the hill.

 Against the rules here Don. So is the new slipper clutches. You're right though, they work. Guess thats why guys protested them and made the rule.
