TEST RIDE #1

<< < (5/9) > >>

El__burro:
Latest update
I have followed your instructions and have losened the nut as suggested, went for a ride and I felt a better handling unfortunately I could also feel some play in the tree area going over speed bumps.
I tighten it a bit towards a stiffer ride for now.
How loose should it actually be?
Thanks

Johnwebley:
loose enough for easy movement,but no play !!



  can you raise the front end ?? so you can turn from lock to lock,and also try and lift op and down the forks ,see if you feel any movement,

El__burro:
no improvement on the 2 issues.
A) The engine struggles on the second part of the throttle
B) The bike seems a bit too stiff on the front end.

a) I have changed the airscrew mix setting of the carbs a few (hundreds) times but its not getting better.
I should mention that I have replaced the (stock) air filter with air cones.
The spark plugs are carbon fouled (see picture in previous post).
Is there anyway to check which carb is at fault. I have managed to sync the carbs.
b) Probably best solution is to replace top and bottom bearings, any advice on shopping?
Ps I have mounted clip ons.

Thanks

Johnwebley:
the plugs read over rich,try it without the aircleaners on,

also,check the ignition timing,it could be retarded,

 the air screws on control the first 1/4 of the throttle,

 as for the front seeming stiff? heavy ?
 check your tyre pressures,

 try thinner fork oil,remember,with clip-ons,you won't get the leverage of wider normal bars

El__burro:
I have probably mentioned a few times before but..
I replaced the stock air filter with some pods.
could this be the cause of the poor running.
(when I pull the second half of the throttle).

I have adjusted the timing (which was ok)
I will be sincronisyng the carbs next.
I was just thinking about re jetting.
Could this help?
Another hint is that the 2-3 plug look very close to perfection
while 1-4 look very carbon fouled.
