thats right.....i have a pattern filter in there at moment looks as good as original,fits well ....iam thinking of treating it to a k+n,but a few more things to check before i do that
One, is never going to be enough.....

more garage time this morning.......carbs,checked the mixture.......4 turns out :eek .....as ive stated before i`ve owned the bike for 10 yrs,9000 miles when bought now on 40000,carbs not been touched in my ownership and main dealer service records before that :\
standard mixture settings should be 2 turns out :eek i was going to richen by 1/2 turn,but left as is and re-fitted
1 1/12 hrs this morning,struggled re-fitting the carbs this time :\ ....untill i realised its a lot easier mounting onto the air box rubbers and securing with the julibee clips and then sliding into cylinder head rubbers ..........i know that already,senior moment as iam at that funny age

Definitely recommend the K&N as well Got one on mine but having replaced the entire exhaust system at the same time I can't comment exactly on it precisely - the entire system has been running like a dream though. Can't wait to get mine back tomorrow

I've got replaced stainless down pipes and a what's virtually a race can, and it's always been just fine, but the K&N has made it noticeably better :b (not including the latest hiccup obviously)
Sounds a tiny bit different as well.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
had an afternoon with mumsy today as 80th birthday,good day ,quized her and her elderly friends on the stutter problem and all i got was blank looks :rolleyes ........bike fired up a treat this morning no problem.....inlet shims were fine,exhaust i increased by 1 size (0.05 mm) did`nt think i would notice the difference,could not have been more wrong........top end is as quite as something very quite .....not a single rattle or knock,even on first start up well pleased with that 8) tick over is a bit lumpy now so will re-balance the carbs...need to do a bit of homework on this to understand ....HG :o .......as dont know what this is yet....but i do know its quite crucial to getting the best from the bike
anyone know about this HG thing ?..........................
