Riding with unbalanced carbs - damage?

!!!!!GEMMA'HERE FORGOT TO SIGHN DAVE OUT!!!!!!

well the day has come i have taken ownership of my trike, in the end i did not convert my sv as it would have been very costly to get one with a proper made suspension.

i now have a yamaha dragstar 650 trike, this is my question

dave picked it up on tuesday and said that its running a bit rough, possibly the carbs need balancing(dont ask me the technical stuff)

i have two days off and my bike will be in the garage possibly from after 1 tomorrow, i want to go for a ride

WOULD IT CAUSE ANY DAMAGE WITH THE CARBS NEEDING BALANCING IF I TOOK IT FOR A SHORT RIDE OUT TOMORROW
(weather dependent, i aint doing my first ride on a bike/trike in2 years in the ****ing down rain)

advice please
gemma

no. Enjoy

Ooooo good, thaught so he rode it back from manchester fine he just said it was 'running rough'
fingers crossed for nice day then i want to go and show my mates lol

If it fires up, go girl, carbs'll survive one more day

This.
My old ones were full of crap and I'd about 1000 miles on them in that state

Come on Gemma, pay us a visit I could do with a good belly laugh.


PS, when did you start listening to that big useless streak, you call your husband anyway?

well been out today for a good three hours,

I'M IN LOVE!!!!!!! I CANT BELEIVE HOW MUCH I HAVE MISSED THIS.

My grin is definatly from ear to ear, few kinks to iron out, such as need brake lever moving round so i can use it properly(i got little hands)

The Trike which i have named"Temperance" is now in the shop being checked over, due to very loud backfire when i roll of the throttle, made worse by straight through pipes, also just to check nowt else up.
Depending on what garage say when they phone my later i will drop round to see you tomorrow
Mr wilky if you are in that is!!
and after two years and no bike riding and also the last one i rode was 125cc and this is 650, the saying is true it really " is just like riding a bike".

Temperance in Samuel Street, well I never. However as Preston is the home of Joseph Livesey it shouldn't be an unknown concept locally, despite Dave's best efforts to demolish any connection between Preston and temperance.

So I suppose it will make a change to spend your hard earned on fuel instead of Carling.

PS, out for Sunday lunch. But will be back by mid afternoon.

ok well lets hope alls well at the garage

Nice one Gem, so glad you're chuffed with it after all this waiting! Have to pop round ours for a brew an' a bimble
