hey guy i went on my first ride in my new joyner yesterday and i could use a little more torque not to much but a little.
My question is what is the stock slider weight? I would not like to loose to much top end how low of weight could i go on the rollers/sliders and not loose top end? Which one will help the most with out hurting top end?
also should i get the springs too?

ok another thing i was thinking about getting was the trail tech vapor those of you that have it i have a question for you. How is it working? have you had any problems with it?
How was the install easy? do you have to make any mods on the install?
how does it tell the engine temp? my dad an i are wondering that because it seams that the normal sensor on my joyner just flips on at a certain temp when the fans are on is this true?

you could go with some 18 gram rollers. that will not hurt top end to bad. I have not installed a vapor yet. but I have read the instructions. its not hard to do.

ageekwithabuggy,

I have the trail tech vapor on my Joyner 250. I use the speedo only. I haven't installed the temp sensor yet or the RPM's. I will one day.

As far as attaching the speed sensor, I used the included bracket to mount the receiver and used liquid nails to attach the magnet on the wheel. I attached the Trail Tech Vapor with hose clamps. I will try to take a picture later...

@rt

I will try to make it to the bash...it all depends on my schedule...which changes frequently.

Here are some pictures of my install of my trail tech vapor...




If I remember the bracket was too long or I had to make another hole to accomodate the receiver.

The stock roller weights are 24 gram rollers. I usually recommend 17-18 gram sliders. If installed in combination with a torque spring this will increase your available torque performance considerably. I have not noticeable a great deal of top end with this combination.
