        That's what we all want. Heaps of power with total reliability. Greed is what upsets this balance.

        Your next move is to tune it. Plug reads for ideal spark advance and dialing in those carbs to the pods and the 4-1.
        By using the DJ kit, you should be half way there already.

              The '82 850 has the advance curve built into the ignitor. It's a good unit, there is no benefit to changing it unless it's broke.

              Next mod I recommend is teflon/stainless brake lines. A FET R/R would also be a good mod too. And Progressive fork springs.

                Very good! Ease of installation and operation,otherwise install and go riding and not worry for many years of riding.

                  Kind of like the stock unit.

                  I would buy some decent shocks.

                    Brakes or suspension upgrades.

                        I went to the auto parts store and bought 2 really long 7mm wires and made my own.

                          id also like to get a dyno run in and see if he can tweak anything for more power

                            Put in a dyna ignition and nice green dyna coils. If you can't hear your valves when it's at idle, you might want to check the valves and adjust so that your running kinda at the loose end for piece of mind. Out of curiosity what kind of jets are you running for you main, air, and so forth?
