    Do you have a way to adjust your slide needles to make it leaner in the midrange? If not, try taking off the airbox and see if that improves. A rich condition is what you're describing, I think.

    The OIL thread. All oil related questions here.

    If you look at the back fine print, you'll see a listing of approvals. If you see JASO MA or similar, this is an indication it is approved for use in wet clutch (motorcycle) applications. If you see "Energy Conserving" anywhere on the oil STAY AWAY as it will ruin your clutch.

    Carbs!

    Thanks! I got a carb body from a vendor and all is well. Consider this thread closed! :)

    Front brake lockups

    My guess would be that the master cylinder return bleed hole was clogged. That would prevent fluid from returning to the master after the lever is pressed, pressurizing the brakes and never letting them relax... I hope your new master cylinder eliminates the problems. And good to hear you're...

    Time to ask the experts.

    Yeah, I'm just trying to help out anyone who may read it quickly and start second guessing how they installed the plugs. In other words, I read your text and saw the photo and interpreted it as the two circled areas need a plug. Maybe others will interpret the same way...but if you're not...

    Time to ask the experts.

    That pic messed me up. You may want to circle the two that ARE supposed to be capped rather than circling two holes, only one of which should be capped...

    UFO Megaphones

    Where did you source the Holeshot cans? I agree they look like the hot ticket.

    UFO Megaphones

    That's kind of my next plan if the megaphones don't pan out. I think the HMF slip on sounds really good so I'll be looking for a set of those or something similar. It's still winter here so I'm not in a terrible rush. And worst case I ride it as is with earplugs and deal with the dirty looks...

    UFO Megaphones

    I've seen a few posts about longer mufflers that are more of a "can" style for sportbikes. That's not what I was originally after but it seems that's all the options available. Too bad, because a full system like the UFO is so nice and well built. Just way too loud :(

    UFO Megaphones

    Does anyone have UFO (or new mfg. name) megaphones for sale? I have the UFO slashcuts on the 4 into 2 and it's just too harsh for me. I even ordered the quiet baffles and just can't do it. I don't want to go back to stock pipes so I'd like to see if the Megs are quieter. Thanks!

    Carbs!

    Thanks guys! I've contacted all suggested vendors. I have at least a week until I'm ready to purchase the replacement carb body, so if any other people have parts or whole sets please let me know!

    Carbs!

    Got it, thank you. I'll see if anyone bids on them before the close. Are 1988 vintage carbs going to be similar enough that I can swap my parts over to one of those bodies?
