Swapped the exhaust over today, and put in the 90+ shock with remote res. Seems to turn in a little better now, and doesn't run wide on corner exit as badly.
The new pipe sounds great, didn't realise how much of a difference it'd make from stock.
Went for a run with it jetted 118/115 and didn't have any issues. I'm still running the stock headers, so perhaps I don't need to go up to 120/118?
Also, my A/F screws are currently set to 1 & 6/8 turns out. At 2 turns out I was getting a rich idle when it was hot. I tested with the new exhaust and the idle was steady and didn't hang on return to idle when revved, which indicates that it's not lean. This is a bit odd, because 2 turns out is for factory setup, so running leaner should not work well with an open exhaust, but it does
Also; when you guys are setting your A/F screws, how far are you supposed to screw them in? My old Bandit was running Mikuni carbs, and if you screwed them in far at all you'd fuck the passageways that the tip of the screw goes into, so you just had to lightly seat them.
Is it the same deal with the Keihins on the NC30? Or should I be bottoming them out as much as I can. I have been stopping when I feel too much resistance, which means that they could be screwed out further than I think.

Me? I don't touch carbs lol. I've tuned cars on aftermarket ECU's with fuel injection, but carbs to me is nothing but gypsy magic!Swapped the exhaust over today, and put in the 90+ shock with remote res. Seems to turn in a little better now, and doesn't run wide on corner exit as badly.

It seems as though the method I was using was correct (gently seating them).
So they're still at 1 and 3/4 turns out, this is fine at 80 degrees and under, but when I get up around 90 the idle lowers and gets a little bit lumpy. It doesn't die, but is a little bit more difficult to get going off idle.
This is indicative of a rich idle right? (idle drops and becomes a little erratic when hotter but is fine when colder). So it seems as though I need to turn them in (leaner) a little more.
I'm just a bit worried that I am going quite a bit leaner than the factory recommended setting for the screws (2 turns out). Has anyone else had to run them this lean?

Did you look into that air filter? Not a bad thought has that is very very lean, suggestive that it really isn't getting air! What does that air filter look like?

Also...I have a new project....
30000km, imported in 1995 and has been sitting since 2000! stock except for the fibreglass front fairings and cut rear. Tossing up between swapping the fairings over from my current ride eventually, eBay or yahoo japan auctions :-). Needs brakes overhauled, probably forks done (contemplating rick Oliver internals while I'm there), battery, front wheel bearings, seat lock (likely a matching lock set) and carbs overhauled. Oh and new tires and chain - sprockets look perfect

trademe, parnell. My trailer fits a vfr just perfect :-D (had to trailer my daily ride a couple of weeks back after a flat too!)

Cool. I don't recall seeing it in my emails. I had to jump start my bike to get to work on Friday and then after starting it to go home I stalled it and couldn't start it gainGot the workmates to help push 20 meters up the road/hill and the bike is actually really easy to push start in 2nd.
Forum whore
that it is :-) Good haha I'm not certain it was a steal, but I'm reasonably happy - will keep me busy this summer, here's hoping I don't find any gremlins that I'm not expecting!

Here's the question of today, does anyone have a spare indictor relay laying round? Mine killed itself on the way home last night

Looks tidy all things considered, what year is it?
Will you be putting it on the road or using her for a track hack?
