Quick question so i have a 11oz ffw and flex bars and the the dome and the 40 power jet set up on stock exhaust what good would the governor spring mod do or have you done that. I dont mind the little snappy part of the bike my gearing is 13/49 right now was thinking 13/51 as i ride slow whats your opinion on gearing and the governor mod.
@JasonHamborg2 күн бұрын
@cliffordmcgraw8740 I ride 13/51 gearing! It's great. Pv mod will only fix the hesitation from low-mid range on the yzx. No more power really... if you don't notice the hesitation, don't worry about it. Also yamaha fixed the issue in 23, so if you have a 23 or 24 also don't worry about it

It's great, but I'm a big guy, (tall and fat) so it needs suspension work, and I need to go back and find your video on set-up. I need those foot pegs that sit back and down, and I think there's gains to be had in the jetting department. I mainly need to work at it and practice.
