Does anyone know if i can safely run the original 204 front and a 207 rear....? :confused

re-early models.....

Mine is a 02 model, so it`s doesnt look like Honda have sorted it.....
I must admit..the blow back / missfire is not as bad as when i first had the bike, but never the less it still happens....and yes..it is mainly at low revs.. :(
