I'm sorry(and that's why I call myself Bonehead). I was referring to just the 3 carb mods.

Why would you want to remove and dis-assemble it 3 times ?? :roll:

Yes, they probably should all be done at once. :cool:

You're probably right, but being an auto/diesel/heavy truck mechanic I really don't mind trying one thig and seeing how that turns out and then moving on to the next. But if all 3 need to be done at the same time, I will do that, thanks.

i am also into auto diesel but can u tell me were i can get jets??

Bought mine at the dealer. Mikuni small round and just get the orifice size you want to install, ie, 130,140,145. Other cycle shops should have them too.

WOW!!

I bought my bike just to ride it! Wanted to do some mods to this bike cause it could be good but mostly cause I'D FELT LIKE IT! :twisted: Most of all, I'll do the the 16T and change nothing else, then I might change the air filter and again change nothing else, then I'll do the carb mod and change nothing else. In fact, maybe I'll do nothing and challenge you scamps to a 1/4 mile race just to prove the point for the kids on here. What do you think? Any challengers? :poke2:

Be sure that your life insurance is paid up if you plan to put in a high flow air filter "without changing anything else". It will cough and sputter and almost refuse to run at all.

For a demonstration, just take the air filter OUT and go for a short ride.......best NOT to do that in traffic though !! :shocked:

So......what was the main point of your post? There seemed to be several points mixed in there !! :poke2: :biggrin:

It's your bike. Mine is a hobby. Mod it. I can qualify the changes. Stock mine struggled to pass 110 k/hr after mods 120 k/hr is easily reached even up a grade and 130 k/hr is acheivable in ideal conditions . I have a tach 130 k/hr is 8000 rpm which is the power peak for this engine. The epa regulations force the engineers to stifle the engine performance. Why else would we have 1800 cc to do what 750 cc could do in 1965 ????????????????

I have all the mods done to mine.Traveled all over maritime provinces.Average speeds 115 to 120 kms.No problems.
