You pull the battery,....and then see what else I haven't been in there yet, but it's plug and play, once you get to it.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #597871 jd750ace (User) Front toward enemy Platinum Boarder Posts: 18763 Re:1700 ecm on 1600 4 Years, 11 Months ago   You end up having to loosen a good part of the harness on the left side under the cover. It's mostly a patience deal. I was in and out in 20 minutes, but I had to take pictures to make sure I got it all back in right!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #597878 brown91redcam (User) Another Day In the Wind Platinum Boarder Posts: 2498 Re:1700 ecm on 1600 4 Years, 11 Months ago   texasscott1 wrote: I just went through the 2004 tech update manual and there isn't any mention of the advance curve changing. The additional power of the 1700 was accomplished by the changed rocker arm ratio and the increased working angle of the cams. The cam lift is the same as the 1600. And of course 68 more cc's of displacement. Has anyone ever used 1700 rockers in a 1600 for the increased valve lift or is that not possible,its common in cars all the time but wasn't sure about motorcycle,just a thought   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #597880 texasscott1 (User) Two of a kind Platinum Boarder Posts: 4486 Re:1700 ecm on 1600 4 Years, 11 Months ago   I'm pretty sure that won't work. The pushrod angles are all different. On cars you can buy rockers with a different ratio. The 1700 Road Star is a whole different animal than the 1600 as far as the valve train goes.   Logged     My 99 Standard Test Mule Scott B.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #597884 brown91redcam (User) Another Day In the Wind Platinum Boarder Posts: 2498 Re:1700 ecm on 1600 4 Years, 11 Months ago   texasscott1 wrote: I'm pretty sure that won't work.

Has anybody done this? If so can you explain it to me? You didn't think I would lie about something as important horsepower......would you? Thanks again for lunch!

I had more questions and since I didn't have access to you, I did the next best thing.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
