Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted March 6, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 6, 2018 1 hour ago, Rod Johnson said: What’s with these fucking 850’s? Why not just go to 900 I may be wrong but I remember reading something about an 850 twin being at the limits of a standard crankshaft. Once you pass 850, they have to counter balance the crank shaft to soften the vibrations. The added weight then slows motor so the gains are minimal. There were several articles about this back when the Fusion 900 (855) was having its issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
