hi chaps got a mot booked for friday so i thought id get my finger out and sort the bike,
on idle is sort of goes brr,ding ding, ding ding, brr, almost like a miss, left jug if your sitting on the bike, tried a br8 plug just to see if it the plug, still does it but not as bad, seems to rev really nice when warmed does spit a bit ofblack smells like fuel when reved out of both spannies, right jug is very happy bog stock 4lo 31k carbs reed spacers allspeed pipes float hight is good 21mm or so 240 mains 27.5 idle 1.25 air screw,
any ideas

i dont know about sizes for which bike, every bike is dfferent, what does the plug say? bog is nearly always lean, doest it sound raspy? or does it crackle? 4th from bottom is very rich, or some one it trying to mask a lean setting, i always jet from a base setting, get some fresh plugs do a run, do a plug chop, read plugs, thats the inner part of the plug, 4.bp.blogspot.com/-j0zzs4Ml8NE/TgNu2KPVUAI/AAAAAAAACt8/Z--jY0NwoDs/s1600/Spark%2BPlug%2BReading.jpgclip in the middle, check float height, start with pilot jet, get it to idle a little high, use the air screw to achive best idle, as in when you get to the point where turing the screw does nothing, more than 2.5 turns you need to go smaller, same when you get to mains, most bikes i have tuned have always had a rough transition going from pilot to mains, this is because they move the clip up or down the needle to conmpensate for bad jetting, get it as for tubes and needles, this is where i started all-offroad.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/jet-chart.jpgdont listen to the book, ie: whats your elevation, humidty, octane of gas, whats your pump doing, lots of oil means lean mixture, when i do premix bikes, i jet for the ratio of oil. say 50:1 then jet hope this helps you

well it has started, and i can see the light at the end of the tunnel, total POS when i started, got most of the info from this forum. was unsure of which way to go at first, then is spotted this forum, and i liked the whole hybrid thing as i like to fettle things, engine, stock, a light port, rehone, new rings, a new set of hd clutch springs. front end: rgv250, wheels and disk with brakes. rear: rgv with wheels and brake. wiring was a bit of a mess, so a new loom it was on the cards mods: 31k carbs, reed spacer, dna filters and a set of allspeeds seat was a mess so i recovered that, body work was ok so i repainted it, Subaru blue, think it looks good i still have to fit the yamaha badge and the allspeed decals for the spannies hope you like!

lol sure dry seat: leaving the rings dry, problem is honing now days is so fine that it doesn't take much to seat rings, in the old days, showing my age now honing was very rough hence having to take it easy when running in,
so i de-burr the barrel, lube bearings and wrist pin, lube case bearings, complete build, with ignition off kick it over 50 times, start engine, do a heat cycle, allow to cool properly, another heat cycle, re torque head and rip!
hope this explains dry seat

could be lean on the premix, paradoxically if you add more oil you run leaner, i would rejet using 40-1( 88 ktm 500 50-1 loves this ratio as long as you jet it correctly, 100-1 on the new strokers ie snowmobiles and they run flat out all the time, i used to run 32-1 on my 500 before rebuild and it was sluggish, now it wants to kill me) 300 sounds way to big, hence the hesitation just as your coming on the pipe
the balance pipe, is properly sealed as a leak may give you a false reading and you may chase your tail, check for a leak!
you could mark the throttle in segments and this may help finding where it starts to miss, as in coming off pilot onto mains
saying this, your engine might be tight? give it some time and see what its like
cant help you with needle choices, im still learning the bike, my first rd to date, had plenty of other smokers,rg's cr's, vj21-22, rs's, gt's, 500mx's, kr1's, tm's, gasgas's
i dry seat my rings and have always had mega comp on my engines, always lube everthing else, kick her over around 50 times, then go back your the ratio you have always used
good luck

so the pv motor is the best option then a big bore stroker kit?
as it stands ive got allspeeds, 31k carbs, reed spacer,
was looking for a bolt on option as my motor is just touching 13k , so low miles for its age!
