Carb balancing? SWK?

sweller yik-yakked:

As Pip says - Glasgow. So hardly neighbours!

 

sweller yik-yakked:

Gay bike and a porridge wog? **** me, I'm done for.

 

Beav yik-yakked:

That's far more realistic, never mind " leaving it for a week".

 

Beav yik-yakked:

Yup, sorting out the dyno place as we speak - the original was dyno
too, but I just thought they were taking the piss. Unless there aren't
many Dyno places up here, so they push their luck.

 

Yes, sort of knackers my idea. It should have been no more than a half
hour job for me to do.

I'd suggest taking it to an independent one man band type workshop and
simply asking him to balance the carbs. £30 tops - probably less.

 

sweller yik-yakked:

That would have been very kind. I'll plan to buy you some beers, but of
course won't as you're too far away. Or else I'll buy them, but drink
them myself whilst waiting for you.

Now, some have said shove it on a dyno - worth it or not? I'd have
thought balancing might have been enough, but what the **** do I know?

 

I'd say the dyno would be a waste at the moment. Just get them balanced
and see how it runs.

Did you read my OP?

I'd had straight through pipes put on as part of a rebuild, and a Stage
1 kit to help. However it turns out that Dynojet kits for this
particular bike at least are total cunts to set up right. So the engine
runs as roughly as ****. That I noticed. So I asked advice on what
should be done, and roughly how much it should cost?

What bit about that makes me a twat then? Anyway, I'm a **** so get it
right FFS.

 

sweller yik-yakked:

Ta, that's how I was starting to think - at least get them set up half
decent and take it from there. Ta, I'll do just that I think, unless
someone points out that that's total fuckwittery!

 

If your in Aberystwyth pop in and have a brew and I'll do them for you

Pip says...

Which explains why it costs so much. All Scottish dealers are fucking
rip off merchants. I haven't heard anyone ever have a good word to say
about any of them.

If someone is looking for a guaranteed money earning business
opportunity, open a bike workshops in central Scotland and give
mediocre service at slightly inflated prices. You'll make a fucking
killing and the porridge wogs will love you to bits for it. It'll be a
**** sight better than they are used to, no matter how bad or expensive
you are.

Downside is you have to live in Scotland, which is probably why no-
one's done it so far.

 

Heh.. I like that. Like people that take the air boxes off old GSXRs and
just change the main jet to 'tune' it.

I'm building a oxygen sensor indicator thingy that I can bolt onto the
handle bars to show me how the engines state of tune in real time. Just
need to dill a hole in the exhaust for the little sensor. :/

 

Lozzo yik-yakked:

Oi. Easy, tiger. There are [checks census] three of us here [checks
again - two are sheep]. ****, sheep run the Dealerships. Explains it
all.

That's why I wanted the advice from here - they are all cunts ( IME )
and not to be trusted, so a twonk like me who doesn't know could easily
be fooled by them saying " it's yir XXX that's went, laddie that'll be
twinty bawbees" or whatever.

 

BORG yik-yakked:

Top offer, if I were 400 miles nearer. I appreciate that but, thanks!

 

Heh..

 

Christ yes.

I remember a CB650 I once owned. Utterly stock, but jetted by Honda
amazingly lean (for US regs).

The bugger ran so lean above 6000rpm I feared I might hol a piston.

All the conventional wisdom said "Go back to stock settings, air filter,
exhaust, etc etc". But the bugger was already 100% stock.

I went up, not one, but *two* sizes on the main jets, and it ran like a
dream (not a Dream). Go figure.

 

What he said. Unless they're faffing with jets and needle settings as
well, in which case it could take two or three days.

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Beav"

If it's loud, it might affect your herring.

 

The Older Gentleman yik-yakked:

Ahh, the VS is like that for US regs apparently. Although there were
different body styles for Europe & the US, they kept the engine
settings the same for emission controls apparently.

I'm still tempted to get them balanced first, then see if they need the
full Dyno treatment. Or is that stupid?

 

I'd Dyno them first, to be honest.
