I have an 81 special. pretty stock except pod filters, stepped up the pilot jet to a 47.5.
I havnt adjusted my cam chain or valves yet, I know I know, shame on me.
All that to say, I think the problem I'm having isnt tuning. Basically when I really get on the throttle the bike will pull good until about 4k rpm (don't have a tach so I'm guessing) and then it almost feels like its popping out gear. The motor keeps reving but no power to the wheels.
Similar thing happens when I take off quick from a dead stop, After I fully release the clutch lever it still takes awhile for first gear to feel like its fully engaged.
Anyway, help me out if you have any ideas
