[QUOTE="Steve in Phx, post: 1390821, member: 19242"] Something I've noticed out on the open road. This is hard to articulate but hopefully someone will understand. I am not an aggressive rider and never hit redline so this isn't a big concern, just curious more than anything. If I slowly open the throttle to wide open, the bike pulls strong until I hit about 80% throttle. When I open that last 20% it feels like I'm losing torque. If I back off the throttle a bit, it pulls stronger again. Don't get me wrong, it still pulls like crazy, but not as strong during that last 20% of throttle opening. So I get more power if I don't open the throttle all the way. Not lugging it, but let's say this is consistent between 4000-8500rpm. If this was my dirt bike, I would guess new jetting is needed. Is this something the Barbarian Mod would help with? I bought the bike with 8K miles on it and it's at 26K now. The previous owner didn't modify anything. When I purchased it, I unwound one rotation on the spring and did the G2 throttle tamer mod. Nothing else has been changed. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
