Precise tuning

#1

Post by Mrirbic71 »

Does any one have any tuning tips besides timing,carb syncing, plugs etc?
I want to be able to have a crisp throttle and performance to boot. Any tips?

Being happy ain't nothing but having something to look foward too..
No matter what I'm doing I'd rather be riding.

Thanks for that file. While I haven't looked it over yet, I see it is for the 1000. Would it mostly apply to the 1100 as well? Or is there a similar publication for the 1100?

Not sure where I got that one from but just uploaded it for the first time. I have not seen one for the 1100 but it should apply to all 1000's (except for the idle drop procedure of the Emission Control Carbs) and in principal to all the 1100's as well.
