    OHH NO.. Far from that . I probably know about 1/4 of what you guys know, but i am learning. When before it stuggled..and i literally mean struggled to get up to 80 at full wide open throttle i am now slapping around at nearly 100 and it still has little bit left. I probably could have gotten close to 110ish except its pretty windy right now and the crosswinds were getting pretty rough even at about 97 or 98 MPH. I had to back off to be safe.

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      What you learned is the important part, that you can understand it, do it and get it right.

      Now go fix some more carbs.

        LMAO I got 4 more to do the carbs, valves, timing, and syncing on. I got lots of practice bikes to supply the rest of my summer with tinkering..

            When and where did i ever , in any vain of sincerity, claim to be a carb expert?? Thats just laughable!! By the way, if you read from the start to the end every post you would have seen this is my FIRST crab TUNING experience.. I can tear them down and reassemble jut fine. It was the tuning and trouble shooting that was confuing me. And coupled with that, i didnt know all the terminology so i could logically form a question or explain what i wanted to know. And youll also see that once it got untwisted that i went back and made the appropriate acknowledgemnets and apologys. Welcome to the GSR and i promise not to remind you of your FIRST post when you are sitting there ready to pull the top of your head off so the steam can escape. Have agreat evening and keep a stiff upper lip.
