Bikers...

It had been a while since I've been on here and the first thing I noticed tonight is the 8 million (approximately) references to Grampsizing !

What in H E double hockey sticks  is that ??

Thanks...obviously in need of an education..

"Grampsizing" is one of the preferred methods of reaming out the air intake system on the 800.  It's outlined over on the RussWolf pages, along with it's counterpart, "Scooterizing"...  (gotta love these names)....

Grampsizing, (and scooterizing, for that matter)  basically, is getting rid of the non-productive pollution stuff, and cleaning up the air system (increasing air flow), along with increasing the jetting, to make 'er run better....   Grampsizing basically leaves it a more stock, or "sleeper" look, while scooterizing is more visible.  Both involve increasing air flow and jetting (quite a bit).

Thank you for the education.. lol
Normally if something is working well I like to take it apart to see why. In this case, I may just leave well enough alone !

Thanks
