Hay guys

My 01 929 doesn''t seem to have full power. Its my first 929 and thought it wasn''t as strong as it should be, so i let acouple of friends who had 929s ride it. They all agreed with me, there full power isn''t there. I''ve been told just doin a roll on in 2nd, the bike should come up. I''m clutching in 2nd at 5,000-5,500 and even then sometimes it doesn''t come up.

I''ve put a new set of plugs in, along with a new air filter. the clutch grabs, the tires not spinning.......and i''m stumped.

any ideas........i''m just scarred to do a compression test haha

thanks

Do it and get it over with, or who knows maybe you just got a lemon. If comp checks out good, maybe take it to a dyno and see what its truly doing.

really hard to say for sure but i offer this; i thought my 929 was getting slower too but i was just getting more comfortable and faster with it.
