See if they do an equivalent slider for a Honda. It's more likely to be engineered to last the distance.
These Suzuki things just aren't built for the Melling lights.

It looks on the surface to be a good idea, but I'm just not sure of what problems you'd face throwing sidedraughts in a system that's designed for downdraughts. Fitting the airbox would probably be the least of the problems.Originally Posted by crazybigal
Yep - the way I see it, if the old ones lasted for 100,000 kms then I should expect at least 50,000 out of the next ones. And at that stage there'll be a few other things to worry about as well, so it will probably be time to move on to the next one.
And Fatjim - the next time we meet at Melling lights - your bike is toast. I'll have the carbs from an RF900RV Manta Ray Special on there. Might just advance the ignition a tad too while I'm at it. Better bring the Bayliss and not the hairdressers bike...
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

These Mikuni carbs? That's like saying These Dunlop tyres. There are probably more mikuni carbs than any other single make & half squillion different types. Your Vertigo probably has Miks (or maybe Hitachi). This guys issue is just of jet measurement (which can't be answered as mikuni run both flow & drill size jets & as usual he has assumed that everyone is a mindreader).
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Oh ok..... I just spotted the thread... saw it was the same brand as Riffer's...

So thought ahha...... someone on here could help him out....

Got the carbs sorted thanks. Just requires some juggling of the next month's finances a bit.

Believe it or not Jim, I've never actually balanced carbs in my life. I will be needing to though when I get the new ones, as they will be set up totally different.
Perhaps someone with some skills could run a clinic for a few of us guys.
