Arrrrghhhh!
I don't mind answering questions at all, don't misinterpret this, but read read read!

I must get 4-5 emails everyday asking the same general questions...."What jets at this rpm? What jets at this speed??? My bike runs bad when I am in 5th gear??"

Setting up carbs is done by using the throttle position! DO NOT use a specific RPM range or a certain speed. They will do nothing but get you confused and possibly into trouble.

Read this CVK Tuning guide (same as ours but a larger carb - STILL the same) AND the Mikuni Tuning Guide for reference on how to actually use the throttle with small pieces of tape for markers.

It's not rocket science (unless you want it to be). If I can do it, so can anyone else just by following the steps outlined in these pages.

Throttle position is the secret!

Ok, rant over, and it's beer thirty.


A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice. Pat
