johstoncounty banshee Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Is the bike low on compression. What are your motor specs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2otoofast4u Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Going from a 14 to a 15 is gonna make it worse! That is gearing it up by quite a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c.carroll Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I think it's a 421 I am running 110 gas I might need to check the compression and yes that 15 didn't help none lol it has 40mm lectrons on it I played with them some today a little better but still not right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johstoncounty banshee Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Something is way wrong if its a 421 bogging with just some bolts in the tires. 40 mm carbs are probably way to big for your motor if you are just running race gas. Was it running on alcohol before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c.carroll Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 No always been on gas I don't think it has enough power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johstoncounty banshee Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Naw that's definitely not the problem. Something like tune or low on compression more than likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10dmbanshee Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Depends on how many bolts and what size they are. We use to race at Busco on the weekends with studded tires but have since moved to the 300ft drags. If the motors up to par it shouldnt bogg.

10dmbanshee Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Try less air pressure. It will let the tires fold a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c.carroll Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Yeah it runs real good after I get off the line I was thinking if I put more air in tires it would make it spin more but I need to try letting some out what kind of compression should it have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
