The carb clean yesterday and changing the fuel appeared to give much smoother midrange but the power band wasn't anything special .. I put that down to mostly the fuel I'm using to flush the tank (91 octane) but after cleaning out the tanks tubing and pump and refilling with TTS, after a warm up to clear out some of the old sh*t the improvement is huge! Well worth doing
The exhaust tips are still dripping with excess oil so I assume the expansion chambers and power valve are swimming too - so probably be a good couple hundred ks to really get the sh*t out but already even on 91 the bike has more power every where.
Couldn't figure out the hand pump idea - I twisted the throttle 100 times to no effect so ended up connecting the manifold tubes back to the pump, kicked over n took her for a gentle 2 min ride. Stopped but continued idling pulled one tube of the pump and gave a squirt on the throttle and we struck blue oil
Just want to monitor the oil reservoir over the next couple of days as the excess oil burns off to ensure everything is running as it should - then I'll double check the plugs to ensure they are still sweet, fill her up with some decent juice n find some decent twisties
Oh ... One more Q, I'm almost 90kg and the back end feels like it's set pretty light anyone know a good setting?
Cheers
