Ive just restored an 89 500 and rode it first time yesterday and it felt weak and gutless. The bike ran fast but was like riding a smooth 250. The motor has been fully rebuilt, carb serviced, new Boyesen rad valve, moose torque spacer, new stock exhaust etc.
I have checked the KIPS is working and it seems to be. The over closing mod has not been done so I will do this. Removed spark plug and its very wet and not tan at all after a 20 min session. Could jeting be the problem?
all stock settings
168 main
58 pilot
1.5 turns on air screw
New fuel shutoff valve and floats set to 18mm.
Bike starts well. Took a while to clear out but does not scare you at all. Starting to acratch my head now so any help is appreciated.
