·Now that spring is almost here I'm thinking of tuning up the M900 for the new riding season. During my random thoughts of what to do first I keep thinking "MORE POWER"
The bike is a 99' M900 whic I bought at the beginning of last season with under 10K on it. THe bike was is in unbelievable condition with a bunch of bolt-on mods. On top of that the original owner was a 50 something year old guy who used it for leisurly highway rides. I can't help thinking that this bike is not tuned correctly since it seems low on power for a 900. I've never ridden a 900 monster other than this one, but it seems like it should have some more. I would think that the bike could at least get it's front wheel off the ground without too much effort, but my attempts have produced nothing but extending the forks :
I'm not a wheelie person, but my 18 years of moto-x have gotten me used to have the front wheel in the air. My R6 could pull wheelies, although too quickly at times, without much trouble. I even went to a 14T front sprocket on my M900 to see if it would help, but still not enough.
The bike is a B#@ch to start in cold weather, and the last time I pulled the plugs I noticed they were black. So I know it's running rich, but don't know what jet kit the guy put in it. Does anyone have the baseline jetting specs for a 99' M900, and possibly some input as to what jetting works for your bike?
Much Thanks
