heres a pic of that tach u can get a matching speedo too

oh my aint that purdy,rest of bike looks pretty nice also! im gonna say as far as your overheating issue id definately run an oil cooler .youve basically got a healthy dragbike motor that would be fine a 1/4 mile at a time with a cool down between passes ,but stop and go traffic with those cams and carbs is going to keep it loaded up causing your overheating issue.

i only took it to the track once so far and i suck and dragn didnt even burn out tire and i got a low 11 like 11.30 or 11.20 thxs for the comment

depending on what youve got for a rear tire low 11s aint really bad for not knowing what youre doing,just practice getting down the track in one piece and the times will improve with practice ! id be willing to bet if you dropped down to the 29-31mm area in carb selection youd be pleasently suprised with the improvement in drivability and your luck at the track

i have a old maxxis on it now. im going to switch to a pirrelli sport demon soon. 130/90 16inch
i acutally just dropped the slide needle on and made my carbs richer on the mid range runs even better i should have done it sooner.:side:

Adding fuel mixture, cools the motor temp. In my opinion, I would rather be spot on at a idle and a touch, rich wide open. It buys me a safety zone!

You may also try retarding the timing. If you fire the motor at a later time, the motor has a longer cooling peroid.

Gear ratio - Every motor! electric or gas, has a speed that it likes to operate at. At that one speed, everything just clicks, the flow, engine temp, timing, fuel mixture, etc.

The age old trick, is to find that spot?? Gear ratio and riding style, affect engine temp.

Then, if you adjust to the problem and reduce the heat, buy an oil cooler, they look cute.

PS- If you lean the mixture, temp goes up. If you advance the timing, temp goes up. Wrong gearing, temp goes up.

I guess all you can do, is reduce cylinder temp or reduce cylinder pressure.............Take it for what, it's worth!

thxs man for all the info. for where my bike likes to run it likes to cruise around 70 to 80 all day i do have a 530 chrome x ring chain with sprockets to match, z1 enterprises recommended it to me for less weight im pretty much as high as they go on the front and rear that they sell. still tops out around 140mph not 160 but not bad.

are you going by oil temp or head temp?

oil temp
