Re: standard cans or scorpion baffle wanted

Re: standard cans or scorpion baffle wanted

so far Ive updated below. will have another look tomorrow for other points You are on the wrong track, my friend. It's not cans, back pressure etc. they may make a slight difference in full power running, or even tickover. But it won't stop the engine starting normally, or fairly normally. So these ...

Re: another starting problem

CCT's were changed and timing checked /reset ok. can do the valves, just a pain with the front one. any easy way of doing it?
battery was changed at same time as reg/rec. spark is ok, plugs just seems dry after trying to start for a while.
will take battery down before it starts.

Re: standard cans or scorpion baffle wanted

have posted in workshop, but I think we have covered most things to change or replace apart from cans I think changing to a K&N filter will use more fuel , and as new carbs dont think its them as same result. possible back pressure lack is latest theory

Re: Sorry oil again but different lol

CBC? I would use power1 in a CBR125 without any problem, could be overkill, a normal HiLevel or cheaper oil would be just as good
