2007 M8 Service Question

Hey Guys,

Hope everyone had a great season, I know I sure did in Big Sky, Montana despite it being a less than average snow year.

I've got a 07 M8 with about 1300 miles that were almost all put on this season, I noticed that towards the end of the season I was only getting around 7600 RPM's out of it where I was close to 7900 at the beginning of the year. I know that it was quite warmer at the end of the season, so I assume a little less hp, but since I've got some time this year to do some maintenance, and a few upgrades (clutch for sure). I was wondering if there are some things that need to be replaced to get it closer to where I was (7900 RPM) or more ideally, at around 8100, I have the SLP pipe kit and that is recommended by SLP. Hope there are a few guys that have some ideas about putting a little more spark in my sled for next season to get it back up to "par". Thanks in advance.

New springs in both clutches

Might be time for a new belt as well...

I would also check your exhaust valve cables. If one is broken or out of adjustment, that will lower your RPMs
