- August 13, 2022, 13:25:30 PMOkay fellas I'm still fighting this thing. I put a new battery in. What is happening when I start the machine, it ran for 12 minutes before the mixture got extremely rich and choked it out. Previous to the new battery it would run for 7 minutes before it would choke itself out. I'm gaining on her. But I need it to stay running to ride it. Next check is for the Inlet air temperature sensor. I really need some help here guys. Thanks in advance.

I had the opposite experience. Lots of issues with popping, decel backfires, etc. Added the box and it immediately corrected the issues. That was about 19-20 years ago... still runs strong.

- July 12, 2022, 17:50:04 PMI run the same Baron's unit on my "1600" Drifter with dual longshots and reed valves capped. No programmer. Engine runs smooth and quiet. My personal opinion is that the programmers are over-rated and cause more issues than they are worth. Had one on the bike when the original engine was in. One day it just started dumping fuel into the cylinders through the injectors...dropped my mileage down below 20 mpg and it ran like crap. Pulled the unit and set it back to stock but with the Baron's Air and the longshots. Ran better than ever, so I set everything up the same way on the new 1600 engine. Burns clean with a light charcoal colored coating in my exhaust tips.

- July 12, 2022, 08:33:46 AMi guess I'm not 100% certain its oil. It looks like oil and feels like oil on my fingers... but when you wipe it out of the muff with a paper towel, it appears sooty.

- July 11, 2022, 14:14:59 PMWhat makes you think it's oil? A rich mixture mixed with condensation will look a lot like oil.

- July 11, 2022, 08:01:18 AMso i put 30 miles on and it ran well other than the high idle... i started her up 4 days later and its back to running like shit. runs choppy, blows oil out exhaust. i was sure the reed valve vac system was the culprit... now i just dont know. anyone have any ideas?

- July 05, 2022, 11:13:28 AMA QUICK UPDATE- i now have the machine running correctly.
NOTE- If you choose the Baron's Big Air Kit, do not install the reed valve delete blank off plates. Instead, use the marble technique and leave the reed valves alone. Baron instructions say to blank these guys off... the engine will not run properly.
currently running PCV tune .39- muzzy 2-1 and baron big air kit... the bike idles a bit high (1235 RPM @ 1% throttle). I think the dyno tuner will fix that... will update in a week or two.

- May 09, 2022, 09:27:06 AMthe 02 mean streak 1600. I did not test run the parts individually however all accounts say an exhaust swap alone will not need a PCV

- April 27, 2022, 13:52:52 PMA couple of questions if you don't mind High.
I realize that you did many things at the same time. Do you have a sense of whether you would have needed the power commander if you had only changed the exhaust?
HardKrome does not list the Sideburner as fitting the 1600. They only show the 3" Big Straights and the American Classic II. What model bike did you choose to get the Sideburner that fit the Drifter?
thanks much

- April 26, 2022, 10:25:23 AMSo I went with the Baron's Big Air Kit, Hardchrome 2-1 Sideburner exhaust, and a Power Commander V. Still playing around wit tunes... but there is a huge increase in torque and noticable increase in power.

Wow!
Now I can understand the reason why you yankees are so far ahead with customizations...

- December 18, 2021, 09:17:05 AMnone so far...registration is for two years at a time here in Oregon....plus they only check the VIN on the frame for title identification. I also don't have to go through emissions testing in my county....to rural. I would expect it to pass if I had to....
