Hello all!
Still trying to get my 500 running properly...
After rebuilding the top end this winter I was pretty excited to go out for a ride as last summer was quite disappointing after having all sort out of problems with my engine... so this winter proceeded to fix it. After fitting everything back to normal and having my first ride again... second disappointment bike sounded fantastic but had to play up with the choke while driving to get some acceleration power... when I rebuilt the carbs I did it as per manual with the stock configuration but of course the bike is running pod filters and drag pipes completely unrestricted!!
What size jets should I put on? Any other ideas?
Also my gears keep slipping I did put EBC clutch springs..
Thanks in advance!
