what have you done to your "bike" today

[VTRDark]

I have a proper mixture screwdriver turning up at my mates hotel in the states. Well not his hotel, but they are on holiday. http://www.motionpro.com/motorcycle/partno/08-0229 I'm looking forward to getting it. It even clicks at every 16th of a turn

nice . will you have enough clearance to get in to the front carb as the carb rubber clamp is in the way

i just made one out of an old speedo cable (not pretty but works ) and it was free
they do make it a lot easier to change the setting

[VTRDark]

Should be as I have moved the clamp round a tad as well. I have a similar screwdriver at the moment from carbtune but the clearance height is more. A bit like the cheap angle carb screwdrivers the bay sells. This one should do the trick nicely. I also asked Motion pro tech department as well, and they said as long as it's not the D type then it should be OK. I have searched high and low for a screwdriver that works with such small clearances and apart from the £250 Honda tool that particular motion pro one is the only one that will work.

the honda tool is crap it dont fit in the space i know as my honda spanner man has one .
he rounded the head on the front carb trying to get it on

Thanks for that mate, im deffo going to have a play around with them and get to know what's what hands on.

Iv got a carb balancer too so that will come in handy, already fitted my hoses in place for ease of balancing.

Once Iv stripped them down for the first time I wouldn't mind, like you say, and start experimenting with different jets, I have blue flames on and wouldn't mind eventually getting a piper cross/k+n filter.

I have a a k&N for sale 30 quid delivered mainland uk mate, just needs a clean

Sent from the Bat Cave via Cup and String

That sounds good to me mate, will I need to get anything else (other than re-jetting) to fit it?

Hey dude just seen the for sale thread. And it needs the rubber bits, so I'll leave it for now mate and don't need it yet anyway, thought it was a complete job lot filter :-)

Are you sure you are reading the right post or not misread it. http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... 34#p213619

Sebs saying he has the rubber blocks required to use it.

Fitted a datatool digi gear indicator (im always trying to change up to 7th lol).

Waiting for my bargain airbox so i can fit a second long stack. It also comes with a k&n so may have a dabble with that. Not bad for £20 delivered

Looks very nice TonyW.

Wrong colour, but the exhausts look good

I seem to have suffered a bit of corrosion... Very localised... Just the baffles...



Other side seems lose too

Don't worry, this "corrosion" didn't happen to my original cans, only to the spare set I have... Which I've decided to swap over to for some reason...
Yes, had to try it after swapping just one... F*ck me it's loud even on tickover... Can't wait to swap the other and take it for a spin.
Now where are my ear plugs?

Oh, ignore the hammer on the floor, nothing to do with anything.

Good job Tankslappa, you will be more than happy with the aural experience I'm sure.

You should get down the toolshop mate, looks as if your in need of a bigger hammer!

As expected, the other baffle was just as badly corroded...

Sounds f*cking great though! Maybe a little too loud (is this possible).

Normally toddling in traffic I might get the car in front moving over to let me past, now I get the next three cars moving over!

Lovely off throttle burble too. Just gotta tidy up those rough edges inside.



Found a Mac sized hammer too.

Much better.

[VTRDark]

I didn't think it would take long before either you done that or bought some aftermarkets.

Good job
