Hi,

When I balance my carbs, do i keep the air filter on or off. I think the Haynes book said to take it off.

I balanced them with the air filter off and the bike seems to run poorly at around 4-5k revs, almost like its misfiring. I can't think what else would make the bike run badly as theres no way of fiddling with timing.

I've also got fairly bad vibes through the pegs and bars...after about 1.5 hours my fingers are a bit numb. What could be causing this? The bike is due for valve clearance check.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jim
