    That’s the only shitty part. The mph wasn’t printing on the slips that day. I kept forgetting to look down lol

    Hey veebooster, I made 5 runs at grand bend motorplex today. I was able to run 12.2 ( mph wasn’t working on the tree). My launch is pretty slow I think, but every run would pop the front tire slightly. Which it wouldn’t do before the muscle kit was installed. So I feel the mid range pull has...

    Well I think I got it pretty damn close. Thanks for your help Traumahawk! I did the shot gun treatment even though I had the carbs off and cleaned. Went back down to the 152.5 mains, stage 7 needles on the 3clip from blunt, A/F screws 4.5 front and 4 rear. Nice idle, crisp throttle response...

    Update : I now have the a/f screws at 4 1/4 turns out and needles still at 2.5 clip from blunt. Running pretty good through entire rpm range, but pretty raspy/popping during deceleration. It did feel like it pulled harder up top with the 155 mains though. So I’m confused now which way to turn?

    So I took the afternoon and removed the carbs, swapped back to the 152.5 mains and I’m on 2.5 clip from the blunt end w/ 3.5 A/F turns. Having a hell of a battle getting it to idle and the rpms hang slightly after blipping the throttle Some what frustrating, but I know there is a light at the...

    Thanks Traumahawk I’m going to swap the 152.5 mains back in today, and start the tuning all over from base line. What are your thoughts on the stage 7 springs? Should I keep them in ( slides are drilled). Or play with that PA2 jet and go up to 177 ? I’m in a crunch right now cause I’m...

    I did do a sync after swapping in the new jets. Now I’m thinking of going back to the 152 main? But up top it pulls so nice.

    Ok, I’ve now adjusted my needles to 2nd clip from blunt end and my A/F screws at 3.5 turns. The bogging down at mid rpm is gone . But now it wont idle for more than a minute or so without dying and exhaust pops like made when deceleration. Also my mileage has gone into the tank. Hitting reserve...

    I should add it doesn’t do it all the time. Usually after it warms up

    Hey all! So far been loving the muscle jet kit. The fun factor is drastically improved lol However, since the warmer weather has moved in I’m wondering if I have a rich condition now . I tuned the bike when it was about 5°C outside . Now that it’s about 25°C it feels like I’m losing a...

    New set up , fine tuning

    Ok guys, I swapped in the stage 7 springs and went out again for another road test. It felt better in the mid but still something was off. I came back home and moved the clip on the needles from 2 to 3 clips from blunt. Went out again= she pulled hard right through, but slightly hiccups off...

    Thanks Veebooster! I’ll give the springs a shot, see what changes.

    So, I apologize for being quiet so long. We just broke out of the deep freeze here in Ontario. I was finally able to road test the Vmax after the Morley’s jet kit installed. I’m hoping someone with more carb knowledge can chime in. Starting off, it takes full choke and on for quite a while till...

    With the carb upside down. Measure from bottom of main jet block to bottom of float. From what I’ve understood, that’ll get you almost bang on.

    Starter clutch question

    I had a noise on occasion with starting, but not all the time. So I thought aww, I ve had this problem in the past. I’ll pull the starter clutch, must be loose/worn? I have it apart now, no real grooving on the flywheel, no cracks in the starter clutch and it wasn’t loose. But the tin looking...

    I was going to keep the 152.5 main, but my plugs are ghost white, and I seen a few others running 155’s, so I thought I’d try it. I really have no clue haha, going off trial and error I wish I could ride it to find out, damn snow!

    Thanks Sean! I forgot to say I originally had the a/f at 2.5 turns and it just idled down until snuffed out. I turned it to 3 and it idle ok, once warmed up. I guess I’ll have to wait patiently now. Woke up this am to fresh layering of snow on the ground
