Tune and Micron issue

[stuboy]

My Rd350LC's Build
Stage One Tune
31K Carbs
Reed block spacers
KN style filters
Boost Bottle (leaks due to bieng loose in reed blocks !)
Micron Exhausts
Outcome
idle to 6k pulls very average
6k to 7k very painfull spits , sputters and best way round to downchange
9k Brick Wall
To be honest my bog standard LC of 25 years ago would piss its self laughing as it left it behind !!
Is this just a jetting problem ?
It also seems to run hotter than I remember them running.

I would lose the k+n filters if they are the type that have the metal ends on them amd replace with foam filters, go uip on the main jets. You want to make sure that you replace the boost bottle as the last thing you need is an air leak whilst you are sorting a jetting issue out
I assume the carbs are clean inside and the plugs and battery are all good

Is the 9k brick wall created by having a stage one tune ?
I remember having my old Elsie off the rev counter and the speedo.
Even though the power band ended I seem to remember it carried on revving.
Also I cant see how having a bigger vacum on the balance pipe can make any differance.
The reed block rubbers are good but the boost bottle is slack in them and the clips are slack as the boost bottle does not spread the rubber.
How far up the temp gauge should it run ?
Can you still get balance pipes as the previous owner lost the original.

The tune should not stop the bike revving, there are lots of reasons why it will not 'rev out'.

I would look at sorting out the known problens, get a fresh balance pipe, this may be causing an air leak which would cause the bike to run lean and this could stop revs.

sounds like you're having fun, if you need a std balance pipe I think I've got a spare you can have, pm me your details
