Can anyone recommend a dealer/independant specialist etc. within 25 miles of Alton?
I need my carbs re-jetting (bike has been running rough through the winter and now has a Micron race system on). I'm not sure if this kind of job is more suited to a specialist (JHS in Bristol for example)?

Would appreciate your recommendations.

Anywhere with a Dyno machine will be able to 'set you up' properly ;)

Re jetting isn't a hugely difficult job (I assume you have a Curvey SV 650, not a fuel injected bike needing a re-map) and is just a case of replacing some brass jets. If you put up a full list of what's been done, year of bike, whether it has standard airbox & filter etc people should be able to recomend new jets saving you a fair bit of cash. Other than that as long as the dealer has a Dyno and knows what they're doing it's a common enough job.

It's a 99 SV650S, with standard airbox and filter (probably in need of a good clean) and shiny new Micron full race system. Everything else should be standard.

Yup, get a BMC air filter on it, new jets & get it Dyno'd & watch the BHP figure rise :twisted:

Cloggsy me ole bean, its not any old BMC filter you need, its the BMC RS filter, which is rare as well running KTM apprently.

Other than that, carry on :D
