Not sure yet Brad. I know my partner is going and I will probably go along with or without the bike just cuz I love the rides at the casinos in Primm.
The bike quit running in a very strange way but I am going to look into it this afternoon. Maybe someone on here might have a clue cuz I don't. I overgeared a bit this race expecting many full throttle sections. I had to hunt for the hard pack and stay out of the shallow sand in order to pull peak RPM. Honestly I was worried about seizing the entire race as the bike was having to pull 300 lbs. below peak up long sandwashes. About 20 miles into the race going up a slight hill it just started to "bog" and then finally just stopped pulling altogether. After about 20 sec. I kicked it and it fired right up, no smoke or blubbering. Tried to get back in the race but it just wouldn't pull me away from a stop. After 3 or 4 more tries and letting it cool for a minute or two, it wouldn't start at all. Back home I pulled the plug expecting it to be fouled but it doesn't look to bad. Darker than it should be but not black, sooty or oily or wet. It always ran good and crisp down low, it just wouldn't pull up into the last quarter of peak RPM's and finally at WFO it just slowly bogged almost like running out of gas but smoother, until finally just coming to a stop. Any ideas from the "collective" ?
