81 pod filters, open pipes. 140 mains stock pilots at 42.5. mix screws at 3 out
Took it for its first ride today. Starts up on the first kick, new plugs, fuel line, fuel filter.
Comes off idle pretty smooth- idle is pretty smooth too.
seems when I get to about 1/2 or maybe a little past the rpms seem to go up but not the speed or power of the bike- starts to vibrate a lot too. No tach or speedo on it so couldnt tell ya any of that unfortunately.
So my first question is the 1/4 throttle is the mix screws, 1/4-3/4 is the main and after that is the needle setting? correct me since i feel im wrong.
Second question is what is causing the issue i posted above? I know these bikes vibrate pretty bad but it almost feels like my hands are shake right off in higher rpms.
Third it seems i have to shift pretty early. In that I mean in first I shift pretty quickly to second once i get going. pretty normal i think. but once in 2nd i might be going like 20 have to shift to third up to 30 maybe shift to 4th up to 40 and i was probably going about 50 maybe in 5th.
Now i was wondering should I sync then tune mix screws then do plug chops once the previous is set or ?
