It's sad innit? I changed the pilot jets 2 weeks ago but have not had a time to test ride the bike without waking up kids etc & aside from dirt bike rides etc etc.
Finally did ride it with the pilot jets changed (down from 45 to 40, didn't have two 42s).
. . . And it's really quite good!
Took it out to warm it up properly, it ran well & is pretty good on low throttle positions. So maybe I went too far so I tried the richer 5.5 slides rather than the 7s. Made it worse. Hmm ok so 7s back in & tried winding the idle mixture out a turn (had wound in richer as 2 size jet change. Went out on warm bike. Instantly better. Could negotiate turns & whatnot. Still not perfect but I've certainly ridden worse jetted bikes.
I'll take it to the dyno one night & try correct mainjet for the CEL needles I'm running & might fool around with the ignition curve now its running well.
Finally! All it took was an engine that wasn't coughing water as well.
Need to get the speedo going again, not sure why that's stopped but the rev counter is working properly now with a bit more filtering. Then put it together for a proper ride with a fuel tank fitted instead of an oil tank, a bit weird riding without something to grip onto under brakes.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
