Carbs balancing or more?

[TheTengTheory]

i guess might had a bit of mucking around trying to hook up the vacum guage hows it running know.

they whould given air cleaner a blast of air too and few other things, did they change the oil ?

In the old days gave you checklist of things they looked at chain filter etec cables

No, I only asked them to balance, check the plugs and repair my rear tyre. No checklist. I might back just to clarify. Feeling abit short changed

Ducatil: Changing the plugs improved somewhat but it still has a few coughs here and there at idling. Nothing major though.

According to them I should change the bike and get something newer. They say the engine is doing well for its age, most 250cc bikes have had it by 66k odo.

That's good that the plugs helped.

A Hornet is no way near had it by 66k, it just needs preventative maintenance, they are the most reliable 250 you can get and most will do over 100,000km with ease.

If you're interested in getting some spanners out have a look at this http://cbr250.com/forum/thread-8449.html

The last Hornet I did and all the MC19 and 22 CBRs I've balanced have had vac tube fittings on the intake, and even in the odd case that they don't they can be retro fitted easily and as I mentioned earlier you can bench balance them to a certain point (only works when the valve clearances are in spec)

I wouldn't put my trust in anyone who cannot balance a simple bunch of carbs
