Could someone do me a favour

[StormingHonda]

And make a short video of their rev counter ticking over when the bike is warm, I just want to compair it to mine.

I know its a wierd request but i would appriciate it, 30 seconds of it would be great

I'm not that kind of bloke and never ask me again.........regarding the rev counter, mine holds dead steady with the rev's.....can't video 'coz I dropped my I-phone down the crapper

if your rev counter is up n down you need to balance the carbs.
after fixing the vacuum leaks, probably from perished vac tubes.

There's not much point in having someone video their rev counter as they will all be different. At one stage mine was spot on at the set idle speed, now it drops below and back up a bit as my mixture is not set up properly. What's yours doing that's causing you concern?

Blip test:
1. Start by warming the bike up to normal operating temperature.
2. Blip the throttle up several thousand RPM's or up to redline if you so desire.

As it comes back down to idle one of three things will happen and these are the three results:

1. Upon return to idle it hangs. Where ever it hangs in the RPM's it is running lean. Even a slight hang just before returning to idle means it is running lean at idle.(Must return directly to idle without popping,lag, or hanging).
2. Upon return to idle it goes slightly past and below idle then returns back up to idle speed momentarily. This is a rich run condition.
3. It returns directly to idle w/o any lag, hesitation, or going below idle you have a perfect a/f mixture and run condition.

Carbs have been balanced by shop, they checked all this ( supposedly ).

Thanks carl but before the workshop day it was ok, somethings happened then to make it not idle as it should.

strange one this - maybe it's what happens when a Teal one tries to ape the powerful character of a black one by being so close for so long in Grain. No help at all I appreciate. hope it gets explained mate

Good point there boy wonder! The boredom of sitting next to a replica of a coal hole has bored the poor little green one into submission. The only possible cure is to spend time with your bike next to a cool blue bike. come for a ride up'ta ta norf, on the 21st
