Re: Jet recommendations / carb work

Here’s the old plugs, looks like they had life left in them but I had a new set. Left is the front, right rear https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230325/1dc73c12ff3e208d398473ef8dc6cee9.jpg With modern fuel you can't read a plug like you used to so looking at them like that is of no good, although ...

Re: Jet recommendations / carb work

Back to the popping, is you pair system blanked off ? If not the bike will pop and bang when cans are fitted.

Has anyone ...

You can work out from the ma figure and the battery AH how long it will take for the battery to flatten from a set good voltage, 12.9 would be a g...
