I purge my bike longer than most though, I have a touch of OCD and make absolute certain the cases have been flushed, lol Quote

If i was a track guy racing heads up.. I might consider changing plugs. Only time I change my plugs is while i'm getting heat readings.. after I get the motor dialed. I'll keep using the same plugs unless I make a change in tune. Then I'll put a new set in to watch. Quote
RadarRacing Posted February 18, 2012 Report Posted February 18, 2012 Alky is easy to tune and makes power even really rich. I keep thinking about making a banshee alky tuning vid to put on youtube. I could do , needle setting , powerjet and mainjet settings. Whatcha guys think. Would that help? Quote

Video would be very helpful, and appreciated. Quote

87sheerips Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Just make sure there is raw fuel spraying from the piped, then ly the HAMMER DOWN. Honestly I have always run very rich with great results. Love alky. Quote
