On The Edge
So I have only had the bike a few weeks and not been on it much at all. When I had taken it for rides when I really got on it, it felt like it would kind of studder at higher speed/rpm. Almost like it wasnt getting enough fuel maybe. I took it out a few days ago and today and noticed that it seemed like the right cylinder was missing at idle and low rpm. Riding it still had a the studder at lower speed and rpm than before, didnt really get into it much but now it is also backfiring when I would left off sometimes. The other thing I have been noticing is a tick coming from the top end of the motor, seems like valves to me. Is it normal to tick a little? I know these bikes dont have shims and I figured my valves just need adjusted. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking to have it jetted at least. What else? I would love the help. 79 and it had drag pipes on it when I got it, I cut about 20 inches off and they end right about where the mid controls would be. Would this make a difference in jetting?
