welcome aboard nice to have another Brit here.
You say you balanced the carbs do you mean statically or in action with a carb synching tool,
As a matter of interest how are you so sure it is a US model bike

Re: buckaroo bike
thank you. The frame numbers start 3HHE, acording to haynes manual it's US 1995. I balanced carbs using the vacume dial gauges. This did make a differance as the bike only did 120mph b4 balenceing.

Re: buckaroo bike
Ok so may be a set of Euro carbs without the sealed adjustments might be in order?bigginge79 wrote:thank you. The frame numbers start 3HHE, according to Haynes manual it's US 1995. I balanced carbs using the vacuum dial gauges. This did make a difference as the bike only did 120mph b4 balancing.
the bike should be capable of at least 143mph like mine ( santa pods timing about 3 years ago.) & that is as far as I can tell bone stock.

Re: buckaroo bike
Wouldn't top end be affected a lot by things like sprocket gearing and ride stats we don't know?yamaha_george wrote:Ok so may be a set of Euro carbs without the sealed adjustments might be in order?bigginge79 wrote:thank you.

Re: buckaroo bike
i'm happy with top end 140 now, it's the lower revs which are the problem

Re: buckaroo bike
I guess my question is, why are you trying to go WFO at just off idle? Why the HELL are you trying to go WFO at 2250rpm in 6th gear ("every gear")?
These are high-revving engines; part of that character is that they carburet like crap off the bottom, and you have to use your left foot to keep them in the proper engine rev range. If you're turning 2250 in 6th, drop two or three gears and feel the magic!

Re: buckaroo bike
+1. If it seems to run perfectly now after carb cleaning and syncing above three thousand rpm, then I say just keep it above there. If your rpm's are dipping that low, it's probably time to change gear.DonTZ125 wrote:I guess my question is, why are you trying to go WFO at just off idle?

Re: buckaroo bike
yeah so your bike must really "buckaroo" alot for you to complain aboutit right? you dont need to replace your carbs to get past those covers to the idle screws you know. just carefully drill throu them then you can tweek them and have the bike running perfect foryou

They are tamper proof plugs (bungs) get them outa there, also I have a raped set of UK carbs (for spares), if the Jets you require match UK specs (I think they will) give me a shout. I'm talking postage and packing + £1 to cover paypal fees e.t.c.
