i have a mk2 with 14/48 sprokets and it will still do 90+ as standard, make sure your carb is set up right with the right jets and a clean air filter , if some one has drilled holes in the air box it will weaken the fuel mix, if you are getting ready for new rings you will lose power also make sure ...

i found this on the net , makes good reading,

this explains what you should do and why its got to be right,

i think its the fact that the fuel in the carb is a very tiny amount like a egg cup full, if you were to throw that amount on the ground with in a few mins it would evaporate, so over a week or two the octaine in the carb must get weaker because there is air ports above the carb bowel so the fumes (...

sounds like it could have a weak charge to the plug, what happens if you run it with the lights and winkers and brake light on,

dose it get worse?

ride along with it all off and feel what it is doing then put them all on,

maybe you just flooded it, if you leave them standing for a week or two they can be a bit hard to start with out flooding them, mine is , i think it could be the petrol in the carb gets weak or can weep in to the engine , so make sure you swich the fuel tap off every time you put it away, this helps...

knackeredMk1 is right on his coments, if you can afford to get new parts or refurb the old ones it is a better option than cheap fixes, cheap fixes will only help to keep the bike on the road a bit longer untill the part can be replaced or up dated, most of the cheap tips i give are to help get part...

i konw that some of the form members think that i give cheep fix options on bike faults, but if its old and worn, sooner or later it will have to be replaced at a cost, a lot of us only use or bikes as a toy for the week end, so if you can find a cheap fix that gives the results you want on a part t...

if your fork springs are old worn and sagging through age and use, adding more pressuer throught using washers will at best bring them up to a closer new standard condition, which is better than the old worn sagging condition that they are now, providing you do not add lots and lots of washers, 1 or...

thicker oil and more oil will slow the rate of movement damping plus washers will make the spring stronger, over all it will give you the firmer results you are looking for, if you were to put a stronger or longer spring in the fork it would do the same as a old fork spring using washers to make it ...

just change your fork oil to a grade thicker and add a bout 30 mils extra in each leg, i do not know if you can add washers on the spring tops to make the springs firmer on the crm , ive not looked whats the set up is, but it can be done on some forks very easly, you will have to look what the set u...

to be honest with you if the snow is soft studs / spikes will not make any diffrence with grip, the track has to be frozen solid packed down hard like ice for them to grip, if your riding on a frozen lake then they will work fine, thats why they use them on frozen race tracks, and have to keep addin...

if you use your bike on the road more than off road, what i did is add an extra 100ml of fork oil in each leg, this will stiffen them up, it stops all the ducking and diving under braking, use a 15 grade or 20 grade when adding to your old oil in the fork legs, i know it a cheap fix but it makes all...
