kevin10529 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Got my new bike the other day and it all good apart form when am doing slow speeds <30mph. it seems to not like slow speeds at all. Sounds chuggy and makes strange noise in all gears when slow. Anyone know what the problem is? Thanks kev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted May 3, 2009 Moderator Share Posted May 3, 2009 Hi Kev, get yourself a carb synchronising gauge and set the carb balance....Thats my guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks kev. ride it faster :lol: :lol: as O,g, says sync the carbs may help, change down a cog and up the revs a little may smooth things out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_B Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Mine is similar to yours and I'm putting it down to having a standard exhaust fitted after the carbs have been setup/re-jetted for a race can/sports exhaust, if you know what I mean. What kind of exhaust you running? What was your previous machine? ie can you tell if it's making the power it should? I couldn't when I stepped from Aprilia RS125 to my Thundercat. . . which in its self caused me some problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin10529 Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Its got a Remus Viper can and pipes on it. Sounds good btw!! Whats a carb synchronizing gauge and is it easy to carb balance? One of my mates recons that's what the problem is but he dont know how to sort it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_B Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Here is a link to the sort of thing they mean = http://www.carbtune.com/ It helps you tweak the carbs to ensure each cylinder gets the same amount of fuel/air mixture. Never used one myself but I'm sure someone around here will know how to use one!. I think you attatch a little pipe to each carb from the gauge and then, I would assume, you adjust the mixture screw on each carb until the gauges read the same?
