Hey guys!
I now got the paint, going at it this friday.
I also had the carbs apart, looked really nice. The main jets were 130, and I was expecting more like 140+ (because of the 2-1) I first couldn't figure it out, because the bike is not running lean. Then I saw a pdf on the german site that clearly stated that stock mains are 125 for my carbs. Phew!
haha, too much internet knowledge and too little garage time evidently.
Anyhow, i decided I don't want that (IMO) ugly air-box back on the bike. So i ordered some pods and a few jets.
the pilots are really hard to come by though, all I can find is the other kind.
the one for the bs38 model. Will it be total failure if I run my 42.5 pilots with pods and 2-1?(as a rule of thumb it's 3up main, 1up pilot, right?) I kinda know the answer, but still asking. any european sites where I can get pilots?
I also bought a crankcase filter (I have a rear fender hardtailed77
so no need for religion
) and a new smaller battery locally. (12v 3ah) hopefully that will hold up since i'm running kick-only, no gauges, headlight, indicators and led tail light.
There is always something new that needs to be done...
be back this weekend, hopefully with pics.
