>It's the equivalent of posting dirt rally cars in a daily driver thread.
no it's not, faggot

My bike is lean as all fuck at idle. It shows 15 to 17afr, and sometimes goes off the scale lean. Hanging idle when I rev it. When I adjust the idle screw down to get it to stop hanging after a rev, it will just die after a few seconds of 900rpm. It seems like it wants to idle at 1400rpm +, or not at all.

Then, on the other side of the scale, at cruise, Im seeing 10 to 11 AFR on my wideband.

It should be almost 100% on the pilots during idle and cruise, so why lean as fuck for one, and pig rich for the other?

Needles ARE raised to the highest clip, and even have two washers under to raise it further, in an effort to richen the midrange.

Diaphragm springs are cut in half and then stretched back to original length for stiffening, to keep the slides from flying open, in order to richen midrange once again.

Had this problem before I raised the needles and stiffened the springs however.

At least my mains and float height are dialed in pretty well. It only has a tad of a lean hole in the midrange at WOT,getting to about 15.5 AFR, but quickly, gets to 12.8 to 13.3 AFR once I hit 6k to redline.

I copied a well known jet kit, researched the proper jets for my elevation and region, and even got a hold of actual needles from the jet kit. The dude doesnt sell them a la cart, and charges like 300 bucks plus. F that.

The carbs are immaculate, Ive taken mikunis apart literally hundreds of times. I have 3 suzuki bandits after all. None have ever given me this hard of a time. They warned me bout those pod filters bro.

It's just that they're more for recreation than anything. Not exactly something practical for DD.

>>14694289
Still would have seen more road action than a dirt bike.

>>14694267
Also it pops at idle, and lean sneezes. I have wasted many cans of carb spray and WD40 trying to find an intake leak, or even an exhaust leak. There isnt a living mosquito within 5 miles of my house.

The bike ran PERFECT with the stock airbox and a stage one jet kit on it. The pod filters have been a nightmare.

>>14694280
Ive had the screws turned from 1.5 out, to a tad over 4 turns out.

I got the bike to idle with a set of #20 pilot jets, and 4 turns out on the idle mixture screws, but it should NOT need that much pilot, nor that many turns out. Even then, it was idling at 14+ AFR.

This jet kit ( a holeshot stage II ) calls for K&N pod filters, 140 to 155 mains, stock #15 pilots turned 2 to 3 turns out, and holeshot needles on the middle clips. It should run at least DECENT like that.

>The carbs are immaculate, Ive taken mikunis apart literally hundreds of times.


However, I am not positive that some of the componets could not be worn out. That is my next move. To start throwing money at it. Aside from the obvious carb rebuild kits ( containing basically only an o ring for the idle screws, at least thats the only thing pertaining to the idle circuit) what buy?

>maybe ditch the pods then. ive never seen a bike run better with pods vs an opened up airbox

Thats the thing, this holeshot stage 2 kit is raved about on the forums. It makes a no-shit 18hp over a stock bike when included with a slip on.

The thing is that since I didnt actually buy the kit from the dude, I cant really ask jetting questions there now, I'll be blacklisted.

And I would have to buy new intake boots to be able to fit a stock airbox back in the frame. Might be my next move honestly. Im honestly just trying to get the bike running perfect before i undertake my next mod to it, a draw through turbo kit sitting in a box in my garage.

But I dont want to give up, either. Something is funky in these carbs, or something.

>also how many cylinders

inline 4. Its a bandit 1200, basically a 1995 GSXR 1100 with a steel frame and non USD forks.


>and have you blown out the idle circuit to make sure some shit isnt stuck in there?

Yes, multiple times. I know how to do it, too. I disassemble the carbs and soak them in carb dip, then blast them out with an air compressor.


>and lastly have you tried running different gas in it? all my bikes run much happier on ethanol free

It is literally unpossible to get that here. I could get race gas I guess though. worth a shot.

Just a wild possibility from half-reading your posts. Maybe your floats could be sticking or something causing too low fuel level at idle then once you get going it bounces around and the fuel starts flowing in making it too rich.

depends on what kind of classes your mini racing league has. I know some have stock XR100 classes. Some have 150cc air cooled an water cooled classes. I hear the CRF150R dominates the water cooled class and CRF150F dominates air cooled class.

Or if it's not too specific just get whatever is cheap or whatever the local guys have so they can help you out with it.

Is there any way to safely ride in icy conditions, or at least make it so I won't die horribly?

eh, maybe, but Ive checked them multiple times. They are all set to the perfect level, 13mm, and operate smoothly.

>>14694456
On normal tires? Go slow, dont lean over barely at all, hang off the inside of the bike, and be REAL easy with the front brake. I didnt have a car for two years. I rode a HD roadking in 4 inches of snow, and my bandit in ice. There basically is no turning, or stopping.

>>14694480
>studded tires won't fare well on dry pavement

>>14694456
dont ride on the ice. not really sure what you're looking for here. there is no giant wheel heaters that will melt the ice, or any other way to get rid of the hazards. just watch out for it and you'll be fine, although your chances of wrecking go up by a lot.

i had to take my bike to work the other day as my truck was giving me issues, it sucked. it was icy and about 20 degrees F. i slid around a little but nothing too crazy, i think it was more so the cold road and cold tires giving up traction more so than patches of ice, although there were quite a few of them out there. just ride slow and upright, and the road surface and you will be alright.

>>14694496

nice. I ride 2 up all the time with my wife on the boulevard in the video (805cc) and it handles it just fine. It's pretty comfy and likes to cruise. I do agree with you though that VTX1300 isn't exactly the most comfortable bike in the world though. If I was able to get a good enough deal on one I would pick one up and order up either a Corbin or Mustang seat for it and put some highway pegs on it to make it a little more comfortable.

People always complain about the sound of the VTX but I quite like it. It's very distinct.

Thanks for the info senpai. I'll keep them in mind. The only thing that I would miss is the volume of the OEM bags.

Fucking P plates..... I almost want to kill that little cunt for putting me in this situation.

im scanning craigslist for hours every day, cuz i need to get a bike that can be reliable enough to commute ~22 miles a day for work and any other errands i need. will be my on wheels. right now i have an air cooled 2 stroke but we all know what goes down when you're riding constantly at full revs.....especially in the 115 arizona summers :x

Seeing a suzuki DR200 within my price range of 1500 (im searching for 1500 but will talk them down like a bawz)

Also lots of decent rebels and ninja 250s.

I just kek too much tho at the pieces of utter shit people post up for sale and how much they ask for it.....all the while the add right next to their POS scam is a very fairly priced, sub 15k mileage bike thats been taken care of.

im 6ft 1 tall, 190lbs. Do you think something like a suzuki DR200 would be just a little too small for me, comfort wise? Havent gotten the chance to check it out yet but its well maintained/low mileage/fair price/four stroke dual sport that really gives me a raging boner.

thoughts? looking at DBT and CL all day is getting me so fucking excited again....love this feeling....but FUCK man i cannot wait.

>>14695355
No idea, only quad bikes use thumb throttle.

>>14695338
>I think
Doubt it.

>>14695356
I know, Why would you want to go to a thumb throttle on a motorcycle?

>>14695361
Maybe your wrist is fucked or something?

Dunno.

well quad bikes are girls bikes, lets assume girls want to ride real motorcycles, they would require the thumb throttle.

>>14695364
Might get a bit rough on your thumb after a while. Not sure if thumb levers offer the same amount of fine control either.

>>14695364
I guess, It just seems like a slightly pointless mod.

Apparently its safer than a twist throttle, quads are death machines and its easier for a twist throttle to get stuck wide open on one.
same reason snow mobiles use a thumb throttle, if you fall off you dont want the thing taking off without you.

>>14695378

honestly I would tear that up desu senpai

>>14694697
He does, the brand is called Pivothead.

>>14695378
god damn that rear

girl is good too

>>14695394
She would tear you up*
I bet she would be in control, that is the face of a woman who knows exactly what she wants and what she wants is to fuck the spirit out of young boys like you.

>>14695355
>>14695361
>>14695364
Yes, my wrists get sore sometimes. I can still use twist throttle though. Mainly just curiosity.

>>14695391
If you're concerned about that you can get safety killswitches that you tether to yourself. If you fall off it pulls out a little thing and kills the engine.

>>14695394
me too id ravage that beauty. might be a little awkward with that girl there tho

>>14695410
you have never ridden off road have you lol?
that would get pulled out every 15 seconds without you falling off the bike..

>>14695414
obviously the tether would have some slack so it doesn't pull after every bump

I'm looking to upgrade from my 250. I'm looking for something that's reliable, easy to work on and comfortable for long highway rides. Open to all suggestions.

>>14695418
post your chicken strips then ya poof we can all compare ours to yours.

>>14695414
Yes, in fact I have ridden off road with one of those kill switches. It's a rather long winding cord (the kind that scrunches back in like a spring) and it takes quite a bit of a pull on the cord to rip out the switch..

>>14695433
Yeah nah i think the thumb throttle on the 4 wheeled death machines seems better

>>14695391
Main reason for thumb throttle on quads is that you basically have to hang off to get the thing to turn at speed. It's much easier to operate a thumb throttle in that situation than a twist.

Not a meme, anon, Hayabusas are actually pretty comfy on the highway, go sit on one.

Should be reliable too, if you don't abuse it.

>>14695509
>actually caring about the opinions of /dbt/
just get the bike that you want to get. everyone is brand biased. pick a bike you've always wanted and get it. the more you listen to /dbt/ and follow their advice, the more you become a meme

Guys! holy fuck, guys.... what if... what if fast all the time? fucking 24/7 fast. What if....... you slowed down? holy FUCKING SHIT. Physics.

It's official, the ruckus has been dropped off at the dealership. Now I wait for it to sell and save up for a Guzzi down payment.

>>14695552
Seriously don't bother. You're paying too much for the harley badge on it. You're much better off getting a v-star 650 or shadow 750.

If you want to go with a Harley the minimum you should go is the 883, I'd still go for the 1200 if you could though.

>>14695561

Speed wobble?

>>14695562

I think it looks pretty cool desu ;_;

>>14695573
he is right you know, the low capacity harleys are not worth their weight in dog shit.
