I didnt buy a OEM air filter, I just cleaned it as above : http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,14567...#msg164707 so ---- the only thing that's not right is that the posts are not being read
:lol
I just cleaned the air filter alas this did not sort the problem so I've ordered a K&N on good advice from you+others ; however, my bike is running lean so because I've ordered a K&N which will make it run even leaner, I have also ordered a carb pilot screw adjuster as I've just burnt my freckin fingers trying to piss around under the carbs with an operating temp heated bike :evil . I wanted to check/set the idle mixture on each carb as the plugs colour indicate a lean mixture certainly in #3 and to a lesser degree on #4 - I've raised another thread about pilot screw adjustment in case anyone searches for pilot screw/idle mixture http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,14571.0.html I could have easily included it here though but I'm fairly confident I wont do the right thing and someone would complain that the topic is getting confusing, or I'm mixing up subjects, or I should split the thread - you cant win !
