Hi and welcome! Did you remove and clean filter inside carb? Float height correct? New spark plug? Change the ignition coil and spark plug cap? And adjust the sync on the carb?

So can you ride it around at low revs/ speeds ok? Like on 30mph roads? If so i had a similar issue and have just found that removing the snorkel and a DNA air filter fixed the issue for me so was running too rich and not breathing right.

Thanks rock !

Sorry forgot to mention, yes I changed the ignition coil and I've tried 3 spark plugs, 2 old 1 new.
Everything inside the carb has been cleaned and replaced with new parts. float height is set to manual specs at 26mm.
The sync is set per manual as well, 5mm on the first carb just as the butterfly valve is rising on the second. mixture screw was adjusted for 3.5 turns out and then altered once the bike warmed up to 4 - 4.5 turns out.
Both slides operate freely and smoothly.
Also the gas tank is completely free of rust and is clean on the inside.
All the hoses that connect the carb parts to each other are clean and in good condition, same with the fuel line to the carb.
I will try a new spark plug cap tomorrow, since its 23:00 ...don't wanna be a dick to the neighbors ^^

It's the opposite I can ride at high revs, but misfires and throws tantrums when I attempt to cruise at 2000-3500 rpm, that is if I am lucky enough to get it off the line without the choke.
It's not that andy, definitely sure on that since, you can see the bike is running without the side covers for the airbox.

I tried the manual specs at 2.5... that didn't work for me, it may be because of the aftermarket exhaust it's basically a straight pipe. But yeah it seems to work better at around 4 turns out. You are right it is 7...might need to come back to that one

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
