Default We have oil pressure!

Well we are experimenting a bit with a product called a Krankvent (Krank-Vent.com). Pat ran one on their SV650 with good results so we're putting one on my 51.

What it does is create a vacuum in the crankcase which in turns frees up hp.

I installed it very close to the valve cover and next to the frame. I really hope it will clear the airbox. If there's time, I'll find out tomorrow.

I've left the stock air horns on the bike.

I did fill the bike up with oil and water, disconnected the coils, and cranked the motor over until the oil light went out.

So with the trickle charger on the battery, I cleaned up the throttle bodies and installed the injectors. Hopefully, I'll be able to install the airbox and TB's tomorrow.

I hate it when the dealer has only 1 plug in stock ... LOL Could drive you crazy!!! Happened to me too...

Also, did you by chance change the air horns on you're throttle bodies? If so what lengths and what did it do for you??
