  • Turns out that GPX600R was the guy’s wife’s bike. It’s gone and I’ll probably never see it again. Sad bike noises.

    Massive issues with the pumper carb on the DR. I think I messed up and damaged inside when trying to adjust the main jet needle. Idle hangs at 2k then drops to 1.5k on its own accord. Weird lean/airleak type hang, but not.

    Pumpers are a bitch.

  • I’ve got the same on the Duc when it’s hot at the moment. You have to stall it down with the clutch, then it’s fine. I suspect the pilot might be a touch lean. It’s annoying for sure!

  • Infuriating.

    All I wanted to do was adjust the main jet needle clip to try resolve the flat spot until I get some new jets (it’s running lean) and I think that I damaged something in the carb. It was a ballache to disassemble and some parts were made of stale cheese.

    I’m away for a few days so thinking to put the CV carb back on next week when I get home, and then think about next steps.

    Maybe I was spoilt by how dead simple the PWK28 is on the Sherco, that I forgot how messy the Mikuni’s can be if you don’t act like a surgeon.
