When I bought it, the bike had a k&n filter, chopped can with the carbs stock.
I adjusted the valve clearances. With my feeler gauge skills and the shim supplier sending me the wrong shims I'm 80% sure they're within spec. I can hear tapping now at least.
Cleaned the carbs, shimmed the needles up 0.5 and turned the mixture screws out 2 turns from seated. Main jets are still stock. Float height 5mm. Needs a bit of throttle to start and obviously a lot of choke when cold. Smells pretty fuelly.
I made a manometer and attempted a sync. Haven't properly checked to see if air is getting in anywhere it shouldn't.
The po reckons all 9's sound this way at idle but I don't know. He said the bup bup bup as I turn the throttle is because of the extra air.
Looking at getting a new can because, dare I say it, it's too fuckin loud! Sounds awesome but I'm a considerate guy :) The Supertrapp tunable exhausts look alright.
A decent jet kit might be need. Others say shims and bigger jets worked for them.
I'm not looking for max horsepower yet, just a healthy running bike.
Any thoughts?
