    Carb tuning

    Hi.

    Still having problems....

    Where is the gs 550 tuning guide? I remember reading a post that talks about this?

    I am pretty sure it's to do with tuning, 1 plug is rich, 1 is very lean.

    Also, still on a hunt for an expert to visit me in gatwick, west sussex ;-)

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!
