Ok I've tried tuning this thing for a while and I know I'm not getting all I can out of it. It is still impressive (minus the leaky front bearing...but that was fixed) but everyone says it has more.

Is there a special RB tuning...thats what a few tell me, but I keep trying the same ideals of my XTM and other engines.

Please enlighten a RB novice...

Ty richening the low speed needle, leaning the high speed needle, and putting heavy springs (1.1's) in the clutch (3 shoe type), if you have a 2 shoe clutch, get heavier springs than you have now and lighten the shoes.
With a rich LSN setting, your engine will load up more at idle, so you might have to raise the idle a bit, and you will constantly have to keep the engine cleared out or it will die. Once cleared out the low end will hit hard and stay consistant. Don't be afraid to lean the HSN out, the engine has plenty of fuel inside from the rich LSN setting. With this tune the temps will go way down, allowing you to properly lean the HSN setting.
This is a basic "RB Race Tune", not a backyard bashing tune. On the track, you will love how your engine runs if you tune it like everyone does here on this forum. Dig in, do some reading. There's lots of great info.
