barrybaines Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 (edited) is the bike as it came from the shop... if so then take the flywheel weight off and fit a white throttle tube. Make sure the carb is cleaned and set up correctly.http://www.kdmototrials.com.au/Tech_MIKUNIFix1.pdf may help. ... I have the carb float bowl extension on mine and a V-Force reed kit on the way... but as it stands i ride better and find it better off the bottom end than my 300 gasgas i had previous. flywheel weight off high compression head factory front pipe quick action throttle diff reeds ... this from a man who throws his 250 rev3 over his head very frequently, and he still has the black slow action throttle on !!!!! well its just a list of optional extras!!!! plus my problem isn`t a power issue just one of over commitment oh just about too order my new bars and with it will come a quick action throttle tube! Betarev3 Posted Today, 06:46 AM Heath, what do you think to the V Force reeds and if good where can I get some Cheers As far as i`m aware he hasn`t yet got them, but should be on the way soon Edited August 10, 2006 by barrybaines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 as far as vforce go I have them in stock and can sell to you or your dealer.. have him fax me I have 50 sets in stock ron Beta Usa sorry for the earlier post did not know you were restricted.. Vforce will help .. take off flywheel weight as described.. White tube throttle also good idea.. not sure head pipe will make that much differance but high comp head will ..
