    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Well, the carbs on my bike have finally reached the point where it's no longer safe to operate at low speeds.


In a left hand turn...going slow...revs at 2000 rpm and doing about 10 mph. Sudden brief power loss...power back...power gone again...power comes back...power cuts out again...decrease lean to make up for loss of speed...roll on throttle to try and correct...power FLOOds back...revs shoot to 4000 rpm sending me straight at the curb!!!

*proceed to crap pants*

Snap back to senses...grab clutch in all the way...HARD lean to the left...don't hit the brakes...don't hit the brakes...don't hit the brakes!!!
Remember last time!!!!

Narrowly miss right side curb by 1 inch or less.
Pull over to side of street and sit on the curb while shaking like a leaf.


I go over to the bike and turn it back on and rev it up. From idle to 3k rpm spotty soggy running....from 3500rpm and up smooth as butter.
*shake head*

I've got to get these mixture screws set right...
:(

Ahh.. that's scarry..

Glad you make it out ok though.

Adjust those float levels dude!!.

Mix screws have little or no effect on 2000-3000 rpm range.
They are mainly just for Idle and slightly above.

All things fixed hehe.
Replaced my knackered floats with a set of stock ones (pre adjusted) and also replaced the 132 dynojet mains with 122.5 mikuni mains.

No more horrible gas smell out the exhaust and the bogging and hesitation is gone as well! WOOHOO!!! I'm riding!!
