Guess it needs a bit more fine tuning.

On a side note...after doing the above, went for a test ride. Thought it wasn’t as smooth at high revs and making noises so gave it some wallop (not that much). Get to a roundabout, guess who pulls up next to me? The old bill, asking to pullover. Got done for doing 88 in a 50. So at least 3 more points to be expected. Got the other 3 about 2/3 months earlier ����*♂️one expensive test ride

Bummer

Have the carbs been balanced?

Here's my old Carb balancing page,

No, carbs yet to be rebalanced (synced?). Thanks for the link R1FF, will check it out.

Also still need to check for air leaks as had no WD40 at home. Will get some today.

Don't wish to put a downer on it but I'd hold off doing too much to the bike. You have 3 points already and now a band C ticket. That's 6 points or a disqualification, and a hefty fine.

Cor downer indeed! What’s a Band C ticket? Can still ride with 9 points, no?
