How badly does altitude lower the performance of our bikes? The supercross is in town this week. A walk through the pits discloses a lot of information. I snuck in on "official service business"...lol
Anyway, a common theme was jetting issues and lack of power. My bike is a slug....not enough for the double..etc.
The altitude of SLC ut is about 4000 ft. The outside temp is around 60 degrees. Probably closer to 70 for the race.
How much power are the bikes down compared to a seal level environment? Are the 4 strokes hurt as badly? Is there anything a person can do to help get some of this power back?
