So what does a stator do? And how much MPH is 1 Horse Power?

The stator provides power for charging the battery and lighting. You can play around with calculators like the one below if you wanna try and make a guess at how many MPH one HP will equal. May not be accurate though. www.wallaceracing.com/Calculate%20HP%20For%20Speed.php |

Is it possible that a bike loses performance late at night when it's cold?
I forgot how my AC was, but my LC loses power and speed yesterday when I was riding late at night for 30 miles. I can feel it was cold because my hands were freezing.

Maybe it's a little lean for cold nights when tuned for summer?

Hot and wet weather and high elevations require less fuel. Cold and dry weather and low elevations need more fuel. Usually a cool night won't be too bad though, unless your tune is really on the edge.

Summer= Downjet (run a little leaner)
Winter= Upjet (run it richer)

So my crankshaft from Top racing and Naraku bearings will be here next week...
How hard is it to take the engine case out? And do I need to disconnect everything?
THrottle cable, fuel / oil hose, cylinder head, carb, etc?
Yes, someone will help me to split the case and put it back together.

You'll need to disconnect and wires and hoses that go from the engine bits to the frame and remove the rear brake or disconnect the cable. Prob easiest to take the carb off vs disconnecting the cable and hoses. Find a way to support the scoot safely. Remove the bolts for the mount and the shock. Then the engine should be able to come out.

Sai,I was wondering what kind of goals are you looking to achieve with all of the upgrades? I am interested in your progress and have been watching your build for some time.

So I'm wondering, when my bike was still AC on the top speed, I can hear and feel the engine just work so fast to the point that I barely feel any friction or revving and this for me usually means I'm about to seize it. (trying to describe as best as I can)
Now that I'm on LC, do I need to worry about this still? Currently using a 93 main jet. My friend said that this is even too high for Colorado as he uses a 102 in CA.

With my experience in soft seizing a LC cylinder.... it gave me no warning at all .... Nothing like an AC cylinder anyway,,, just make sure your plug chops are good and you should be ok!!!! Just my 2cent....
