    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.

Some times the bike runs very fast, some times it feels slow

More specifically. after lets say for riding for an hour straight, i go in the house get something to eat for like 20 minutes. the moment i start up the bike it sounds different, much more responsive and the revs rise and drop instantly, and when i ride off the gears the bike felt a wholeeee lot faster and im not hallucinating. however i did realize i was on reserve and i was down to my last bits of gasoline. after riding on the bike returns to its usualy (now slow feeling self) the bike's sound changes... and wait a minute as im typing this the term "valve adjustment comes into my mind"... did i just answer my own question while typing it? lol
 
Hi Gabe,

Yes, valves should be checked, especially if you've never done them since you've owned the bike. Another thing that comes to mind is an air intake leak. Have you replaced the intake boot O-rings? Is the vacuum hose good? Petcock? Float height? Check the simple stuff first. I'd hate to have you start shimming the needles on your carbs just yet. But it could be that the jetting is not yet right for your intake/exhaust.


Thank you for your indulgence,

I replaced the air intake boots, im using pod filters. Petcock good. Float height might be screwed up and im running 125 main jets. I may have to step it down to my 120's.. more testing is comming!!
 
This is probably a very general statement, but I think Dynojet says conditions that worsen as the bike warms up are more often due to a rich mixture and conditions that improve when the bike is warm are due to a lean mixture.
