Hi all, I have a ‘92 Gen 1 with standard brake setup. My brakes have always been crap with the lever coming pretty much all the way up to the bar. I have just overhauled my master cylinders and calipers, all new pistons and seals, also fitted braided lines………you guessed it, they are still...

Hi all, Having an absolute mare trying to synch carbs. No 2 pot is non-adjustable right? So I try to synch 1,3 & 4 to 2. First I synch 1 & 2, but when I then try to synch 3 & 4 it screws up 1 & 2 and they all go out of synch. Surely only one column at a time should be moving. 🤷‍♂️. I’m using...

I’ve spent literally hours and hours and hours…….not to mention £££££££’s trying to remedy this issue - bike coughing and farting and running 💩💩. Someone mentioned about the mixture screws so I bought 4 kits from Fowlers and it now runs like a clock. 👍👌

Evening all 👋 Does anyone have any experience of using the Gunson ColourTune kit for setting fuel/air mixture? I know they have been around a long time as I remember my dad using one back in the '70's. Also, does the standard 14mm kit with a 12mm plug adaptor fit down into the cylinder head or...

Evening all 👋 got the carbs stripped down and considering a rebuild kit off Fleabay. Obviously the Chinese shite is excluded from the get-go, OEM prices from Fowlers or CMS.NL are absolutely eye-watering. Has anybody tried the NAPCO kits? They are quite a bit more expensive so just wondering...
