So are you organising an OOF bike ride then Tunnie?

We do seam to have quite a few bikers here, thing is finding someware central, i did 90 miles on Sunday and was getting close to the limit i could do on the bike currently.

So that means i can only go 45 miles from here....  :-/

Wimp

[Darth Loo-knee]

Need to chop a few inches of ya legs Tunnie so you can be comfortable on it

[Elite Pete]

Last Sunday was good, did almost 150 miles over the weekend on my new toy  8-)

Maybe an oof biker meet is needed!

sounds good to me

Yep  

Might have to borrow a bike then, I haven't got one at the moment

Can get on the back of mine

Kind offer :-/ :-/ But a NO NO, last and only time I rode pillion I was 18, never ever again........... I am bad enough as a passenger in a car, with some drivers

Just close your eyes and think of England, again  

Is that what Pete says?  

No...He makes more excuses than the whole Parliment put together  

I aint daft chap, I know how you got the Loo Knee nik name

Shotstick? Pal........

BTW, anyone any good at balancing carbs?  The ZX10 is quad carbbed, and they probably need tweaking...

It has been known.




I have one of these........................................^^^^^

Not sure if it'd fit the intakes without a different adaptor...

Kevin

Hmmmm, might have to pop down one day

[Marks DTM Calib]

It works equally as well by ear!

[TheBoy]

I'm guessing being tone deaf isn't going to help though!

[Kevin Wood]

This is true. Length of heater hose in your ear and compare the sound of each choke.

As Chrisgixer said, it it most noticeable as a lumpy idle because when there's only a very small throttle opening small differences between the throttle angles make a large difference in airflow.

Kevin

[Marks DTM Calib]

Yep.....being carbs the venturi and jet whistle varies a lot with small changes in air flow and hence easy (and often more accurate) to tune by ear.

Of course, they will be out of balance within 100 miles!

200 miles one day, 200 the next, on a 100cc bike

yup  

Also Tunnie reckoned that it smelt a bit rich when I was showing him how slow his bike is - and yes, that was after I'd turned the choke off

Thats easily achievable.

I noticed by the fidgetting that Tunnie has a limit of 90m before needing a break for an hour or so.  So he probably could cover a few hundred miles in a day without issue, with breaks.  I would imagine as he rides more, the numbness will not happen so much
