Hey, I’ve been working on this 80’ ssxl for about a year. It’s my first bike and obviously I’ve been dealing with a learning curve. I got it stock in ridable, but not wonderful shape. I’ve since put the noi metric Polini kit on it, with the treats brn head as it was running way hot. Got the Polini pipe that mounted up pretty nice. Put a slightly larger 16 SHA on it but with the stock intake. Thinking of porting that up to open it up a bit. My problem was over the summer it was getting way hot, like 375, jetted up to 88 and retarded the timing pretty much all the way back. It calmed down. Not really getting over 330. Seems good, but my main problem is, I’ve got virtually no acceleration if I start off on even the slightest of hills. Which can be pretty sketchy in traffic. I’m in Brooklyn and not really hitting any serious hills. I feel like it should be getting a little more oomph. On flat ground or once up to speed it starts really tearing ass. I don’t wanna have to start messing with gearing as none of the hills are like Colorado or San Francisco for fucks sake. Just feel like I’m over looking some thing. Any advice, greatly appreciated.
