This is my theory for guys looking to gain extra performance out of their Buells. Please correct me if I am wrong. I have a vast knowledge of snowmobile racing but none with any performance relating to bikes. I have a 08 XB12Ss but have no intentions of trying this mod. The purpose of this thread is to talk it out amongst the Gurus of this site and see where it leads.
Here's where my theory comes from...
On Arctic Cat EFI firecat 700's the fuel can be reduced before it gets to the injection system. The sleds are pretty rich from the factory and being fuel injected can't be leaned out as easily as carbed models. I am not sure how Buells come from the factory but I am thinking rich due the smoke coming out of mine during start ups and the amount of oil I have to keep adding to keep it topped up.
BMP or Bikeman performance makes a mod for the firecat to reduce the amount of fuel read HERE.
This should be pretty much self explanatory. Now what do you guys think of this on a Buell. Any guys like modding their bikes and are interested in trying this or am I out to lunch on this idea?
