Have done about 30 miles on the new top end now so on the way back from its MOT (which it passed yay!!) I gave it some beans.
The bike was jetted in hot weather last summer and was a bit rich but as it was really warm and muggy (which is unusual for the UK)I was happy with what I had.
When I gave it some tonight it felt really rich and wouldnt rev out in 1st, 2nd or 3rd then went good when I went up into 4th and 5th.
the question is (now I know what the site says about any mods afecting jetting) would a new top end, mains and crank seals affect the jetting this much?
I didnt pull the plug when I got home as it really wouldnt have helped but the cans are really quite wet..

Well it did have seized rings and shot seals so I would hazard that a re-jet may well be in order. _________________ If I have to take the carbs off once more...
I'd guess you now had compression where you didn't really before! _________________ MC21SP Plaything

Where would be a good place to buy said jets....and roughly how much are they each? _________________ MC21SP - Roth-tax

Allens Performance, they're a couple of quid each, you've got the smallest jets I own (other than a pair of stock 128's), so you want some 130's, 132's and some 135's, and (if you feel brave some smaller than stock sizes too).
Steve, didn't your '18 end up leaner than stock? _________________ Please do not PM me technical questions, if you can't find it on the Forum start a thread
I bought a kit from Ebay last year which ran from 120 - 140 and only cost me about £20. I have searched for the dealer but they're no longer doing them.
I'm currently using two of the lower ones, so you're welcome to borrow the bigger ones if you like? Will PM with the sizes I'm using. _________________ MC21SP Plaything
