Night Rod a little faster
I have a 2008 night rod, super trapp muflers with k&n filter and a power commander, its nice and fast. I have 3 friends i ride out with with the same bike but thier bikes are faster, just a little bit, i think its because of the wight. I just wonder if there is a way to make the night rod a little faster without playing with the engine. Thanks

either way with out resorting to major engine mods change the pulley bigger rear = more top end smaller rear = more accel at the detriment of top end

Re: Night Rod a little faster
Have you had the bike dyno tuned or are you using downloaded maps from the web?Custom maps are always the way to achieve the best from your combination.

Re: Night Rod a little faster
hey guys im sorry for the late reply, i work in the airlines and was away for 2 days in Genieva.
The difference in wieght between me and my friend is 20kg , i need more horse power for top end, but i dont want to loose the torque. My bike was dyno tested and yes it is faster than before... its just that i need that little horse power to pass my friends.... Thanks guys |

Re: Night Rod a little faster
Well im looking for 10 to 20 horsepower....
I keep thinking about the message you posted earlier regarding the pulley, would it also have a high top end, you wrote that a smaller pulley would give a stronger acceleration.... that sounds interesting , you think the top end would be the same..... ? |

Re: Night Rod a little faster
with pully change you would lose some top end .. as it would rev out faster as the gear ratio would be different .. more accel = less top end and more top end= less bottom
