Thanks Gary! Tried it and they lift
You could always machine short alloy "velocity stacks", and install them between filters and carbs. You have plenty of space, judging by the pics. A longer intake tract may even give you more mid range torque.Question about the UNI filters: one filter keeps popping of when I try to tighten the clamp. I've tried every degreaser I've got but can't get it to hold....
Any tips? Maybe sand the flange on the carb or something
I am a caveman and I did it. Mine run great!There is nothing wrong with 34's. So easy to get them running good even a caveman can do it.
1+ on the narrower clamp.If you still want to clamp the filters directly to the carbs, you could try a narrower hose clamp (jubilee clip) The clamp needs to be 1-2 mm narrower than the length of the stub on the carbs.
Your pipes are huge! I'm going to fit mine from the get go.Went out for a testride today, can't seem to dial in the idle. Running stock engine, semi open pipes, unis, 138/38/jjj 3rd clip, mix screws 3 turns open.
With the 3 turns the throttle doesn't hang anymore, and very quickly goes back to idle, throttle feels very responsive. Idle is around 1200. However after riding for about 30min, the idle is very low at around 900, riding away from a traffic light the bike sort of wants to stall. Opening the idle adjust screw raises the idle but now leaves the throttle "hanging" if a blip it at idle. Put the idle adjuster back and drove home.
Weird enough when I got home the bike was idling fine around 1100rpm. Tried to open de mix screws to 3,5 but it didn't increase the rpm.
Any ideas?
They look even bigger. It was just a thought. As you were.Don't know what you would consider massive? I did my research and settled on 37mm ID or 1,45". Ran these pipes for years. Can't really see why this would affect my idle.
