Step 1: Get The Air Flowing. Torque is the force that launches you from a
stop. It is the conversion of chemical energy into mechanical energy that starts
your flywheel turning and sends power to the rear wheel. The more torque you
have, the harder the rear wheel turns. To build torque you need two basic
principles, air and fuel. To improve airflow open up the intake and exhaust.
Scooters offers a variety of street-legal high flow air kits and exhaust
systems. Then we can adjust the fuel by reworking the carburetor or remapping the EFI
system.
Step 2:
Camming it Up. Once you achieve the air
flow needed to wake up your beast why not open the valves
to take advantage of the new air cleaner and pipes.
The more air and fuel you ge into the combustion chamber
the more horsepower you’ll build. Horsepower is the
motion produce by torque over a distance. Ideally, you’ll want to launch hard
from a line (torque) and keep the momentum going as you accelerate down the road
(horsepower). Cam timing, valve train and ignition play an instrumental role in
balancing the force of torque with the velocity of horsepower. We also would
like to introduce you to S&S gear drive cams which
elimate cam chain lash and increase valvetrain accuracy.
Gear drive cams also eliminates the troublesome
cam chain tensioners.
Step 3: Displacement. Don’t waste increased air flow with stock
displacement, increase the cylinder bore. We want as much air and fuel into the
combustion chamber before it’s ignited. The bigger the chamber, the more torque. Scooters is capable of upgrading 883cc Sportster® Evolution®
engines to 1200cc, V-Rod® Revolution® engines from 1130cc to 1250cc, and Twin
Cam engines from 1450cc up to a whopping 1856cc (113ci).
Step 4: Put It To The Test. We’re pleased to announce the installation of a Superflow Dynamometer (Dyno)
to our service facility. The
purpose of a Dyno is to precisely tune performance modifications. By measuring
torque and horsepower we are capable of eliminating flat spots during
acceleration on carbureted and EFI equipped motorcycles. It also accurately
illustrates the power produced from your performance parts and
modifications.
Now that we’ve covered the basics of performance upgrades, the
next step is to consult with our Service Department for pricing and engine parts
details. Stop in today and spend some time with our Service and Parts pros.
