TEST RIDE #1

<< < (6/9) > >>

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.

El__burro:
Sorted one issue..
I have cleaned and synchronised the carbs, set the floats to spec, adjusted the timing, adjusted the valves gap, I've gone for a ride and..
GREAT, no more struggle at half throttle.
My other issue is still there though, steering is a bit stiff/wobbly.
Tried to loosen/tighten the head race, tyre pressure is ok, front wheel is ok..
Probably replacing top and bottom bearings could be a good idea.
Any suggestion? (how many balls does the top bearing have 18?)

Thanks

hairygit:
Far easier to use taper roller bearings than separate and fiddly balls! Not a good idea to replace just the balls, the tracks/races would need replacing as well to do the job properly, otherwise it would be like fitting new shells to a knackered crank, a lot of work, that wouldn't last long!

El__burro:
I am trying to find out what "tracks/races" are exactly.
in the meantime I have put a set of roller in my basket.
Thanks

hairygit:
The tracks are the bits that the balls run in, a sort of half circular ring of metal, but the roller bearing set you have ordered contains everything you need to do the job.
