clivew1965 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hi all, DT feels like its missing between 3 to 5 thou and isnt crisp at all, very spluttery. Engine is very quiet with no knocks or rattles what so ever. It will still pull to 65 but it dont like it. will clean carb but whats standard settings Also have the same problem with this bike as 175. Cant get driving lights to work? All other light function. obviously i have the bike running and have checked fuse but now joy:o( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the reed petals arent curving upward at the ends, they should be seated at the end and a small gap in the middle section. Have you checked the bulb filaments with a multimeter?
