I have standard cans at the moment with the baffles removed so i now really wana get a nice set of high rise cans and have it set up i am in leominster so only u the road from lee motorcycles in ledbury were ...

Good news. If she's sounding better and runs better than before then that's all positive :thumbup: Even more positive is the lessons learned along the way and having a better mechanical knowledge of what's what and how it works, what tools are needed etc. Even the simple things like removing the ta...

I have just been informed by my mate that the bike is now running properly again the vacuum pipe was put back on the wrong place now he has changed that it is all running sweet apparently but I will be the judge of that when I go and see it tomorrow :) but this is sounding better now to see if it re...

What?????

Don't shot the messenger. I'm only trying to help mate, and have given you precise instructions on the correct way to set the valve timing, or at least check it. If you're confident the valve timing is right now, then that's all that matters. Chris. I'm not at all mate I'm just meaning it's not tim...

Ok I contradicted myself the timing was 180 out coz bike wAsnt reving past 7000rpm this is why I went to do the timing in the first place it was running spot on up to 7000rpm I was meaning No I don't need to do the timing again coz the timing is now correct All you are telling me to do is do the rev...

Yes sorry he did just tell me sorry. I just thought if it is the jetting then how come it didn't run properly when I put the timing back to we're it was when I was riding it around. I changed timing 180. Then didn't rev out but went I then changed timing back and now exact same problem, which is str...

What mains, pilots and needles are you running? That's my thinking too ! If it's been set up to run 180' out then the mains will be way out . If you don't have a carb kit fitted you should have 175 front mains and 178 rear mains with either 45s or 48s pilots . I did think about this but as far as i...

[quote="sirch345"]You should have turned the engine over 450 degrees not 360 degrees anti-clockwise. Have a look at how to set the timing correctly here:- http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=8326 Sorry if I'm talking rubbish, but I'm in a hurry so will get back later, Ch...

You might get it from only removing the side cases
