Re: i need help
You previously mentioned you have a K&N airfilter and Remus cans - has it been rejetted for these changes as the K&N will flow more air and require more fuel - usually done on a dyno with a dynajet kit. Net result will be significantly higher fuel consumption and possibly if not tuned correctly a hard to eradicate dip at the lower end.
You might want to put a standard air filter in to see if things improve - do some plug chops or book it in to a workshop with a dyno for sorting out.

Don't know jets size but I booked a dyno run for nxt yr
but bike was running fine before i fitted nipple for balancing so....might try to adjust mixture and see if any change is made and going to try the standard filter to see if more improvement is made

Re: i need help
If it was fine before you touched it I strongly suggest you undo your work and put it back as it was before, then see if its ok. If so you know its definately that and you can eliminate things like mixture, costly dyno runs etc.gabi81 wrote:Don't know jets size but I booked a dyno run for nxt yr

And deffo try an original air filter, the K&N's cause more problems than theyre worth.

+1 and if that don't solve your problem then it's time to open the carbs and have a play. Carbs are fun and these carbs are a pleasure to work on.If it was fine before you touched it I strongly suggest you undo your work and put it back as it was before, then see if its ok.

Re: i need help
Good news...you managed to get the mixture about right then. What's the rev needle like when blipping the throttle at stand still. Nice and smooth with no fluctuations hopefully. Just in time for nice weather as well.

One of the mixture screws was seized and carbs wanted a clean
Needle sits still at idle and to be honest when riding it it feels totally different now much more responsive
my next bit is to sort suspension
