Any 650 alp owners near southampton-help!!

[tramp]

right now I`ve got your attention

did a service 3 weeks ago and fitted new plugs[4] and pipercross filter and removed airbox snorkel and made 2 15mm holes in front of Airbox.

now getting 57-59mpg on the motorway at 65mph but have developed a vibe at aroung 4-4.5k in the rev range, bike pulls like a train at 5k .

NOW before I reattach all the moded bits or attempt to balance carbs , thought if anyone could meet me at the weekend on their bike we could swap to see if either bike is smother, or ride mine BUT DONT DROP IT .

what do you all think

[Lutin]

I would think that with all the monkeying about with the airbox that your next job would be to balance the carbs. It doesn't take long and the benefits can be dramatic.

[StumpyFingers]

I agree with lutin,
When I changed my filter I had to balance the carbs to allow for the better volume of air they got.
I did not modify the air box as the filter is freer breathing.

In how much of a hurry? Get yo ass to Ryka's one Thursday when the sun's out and there's a man who might, but I'm not saying who...

cheers, squire

would like to get it done asap as its giving me a numb right hand after only 30mins ride , somewhere nearer would be best.

will give me local mechanic a call and see what he wants to do the job, but could prob buy a twin balancer for the same money and do the job myself.
