    So results.

    To those that said it would make no difference,

    It seemed to make a large difference to the mid range. I didnt really think it would make a difference I could feel. But it did. Theres a steep hill round here i go up and she was 1 gear up. Acceleration is better and the bike is noticeably quieter.

    All this started me thinking what else my little bike could do, yesterday pods were fitted and carbs re-jetted. More powa again!!

    So its worth doing, at least on my little beast. I only rode it twice stock wrapped but there is an improvement.

    Lol, no. Top speed when I ran it up was the same. But it felt a little sluggish right up top compared to before. I think that was down to jetting.

    Since I did those runs ive done the pods and jetting and top speed has come up 6kph. But weather was against me and the run was short. She was still pulling hard so more to come in better weather.

    In theory if you are getting better scavenging now, the jetting issue could be more pronounced, thus causing not the extra 25

    Also, when you say you've done the jetting, do you mean swapped in some recommended sizes? or done the tuning to make sure they are right as well?

    SME motorcycles who I got the pods and jets off gave me 1 and 2 sizes bigger in jets with the pods over the factory listing. I found when I changed the jets they were 1 size down on the listing. I did a run on the 1 size up and checked the plug. It was showing signs of being lean so I went up a size. Have not checked plug since ive got back. job for tomorrow. I have jet drills so can keep going if needed.

    Nah, twin carb single cylinder. So has a primary small choke carb and a bigger choke secondry carb. Also has twin exhaust ports so thats why I had extra wrapping with twin exhaust systems.

    Hmmm I was just wondering if I had some more main jets you could have. I've only got 120+ and 96/98 I would have a look, but, I can barely read them.

    I have some CVK36 (I think, I forget) you're welcome to have if you want to set it up with a single carb on a cool manifold, or even twin carb it I have three good carbs, one has a cracked pilot screw housing.

    Thanks for that but I think I have to be carefull I dont go to far on it. Pretty happy with it now. Sounds mean with the pods. I can drill jets for size now. Think that it is close.

    you can drill them, but it's a bit hard to undrill em! Good luck, your carb setup sounds very interesting, honda used to do some weird and wonderful things before they just started putting more Rs on the end of the names instead
