My bike has been pinking at low revs. When started it gets warmed up for a couple of minutes then when it is idling will cut out so I reckon it is fuel starvation because the bike was not used by the previous owner for a while and the carbs/fuel lines have some crap in them. Although it could just be a combination of the race pipes that came with the bike and a performance air filter that I fitted so I am putting the bike back to stock and changing the oil/filter to see if it will run better. If they are the cause I would think a Dynojet kit would cure it, if not has anyone used that Redex stuff? or something else??
Also it seems to vibrate... quite a bit, which should be expected for a V2, but I wonder if carbs need setting up again after four thousand miles? I was thinking the miss fires might have thrown it out.
Another Carb question

Most likely just the carbs out of ballance. Start there and pull the plugs and check what colour they are. A nice tan is what you are looking for.
Changing the air filter may make it run a little weaker, K&N filters are known for giving you a hole in you power curve around 3 to 4k rpm.
If you have race pipes on it already someone might have put a dyno jet kit in there already, I would check before you go spending your cash.
If they have, spend it on getting it on a dyno and having it set up properly. You'll like the results and it might stop you loosing some valves if it is running lean.

Someone suggested to me that I want to change the spark plugs for Iridiums. They reckon on a TL normal plugs can last only 3k. Anyone else heard of this?? I would have thought the Honda would use NGK that would last a fair few miles. He said even if they look fine, swap them and you'd be surprised by the difference.
Got Iridiums in mine
