But as cylinder 1+2 were very close together it wasn't an issue thankfully. 3 was off somewhere by itself completely out of sync with the others and 4 was just a little above 1+2
The adjustment itself was easy thought getting the correct values was difficult. It would have required lowering the idle too much - the bike was already having issues with keeping itself from stalling when warmed and stopped at lights etc. Increasing the idle, only by about 100-200 rpm was enough to prevent this but obviously pushes the carb values above the recommended...
Ya...similar type problems here. Just got things the best I could. I guess after ten years, there is going to be wear and tear plus little bits of shite in the carbs ect ect that will make getting things spot on an impossibility.
In fairness, my lad runs well on tickover and on the go. If I had a gripe, at times there is like this hesitation or the feel of a lack of thrust at around 1,500 rpm when negotiating at slow speed in traffic. It is more noticable in 2nd gear but you can still get it in 1st but not so pronounced as you probably are getting out of the range more quickly. Probably carbs need a clean but i'm not going to go there unless I have some other serious issue. It's livable at the moment.
