    hi there,ive finished my sr project at last,its come out pretty good,im having problems with the fueling,i have removed the air box and replaced it with a conical air filter(got it from wemoto for an earlier sr mine is 2000 reg) the carb has a 102 main jet as standard and i was told to increase this to a 120,it ran terrible on full throttle so i tried a 110 it was better but still wasnt right,it runs ok with the 102 jet,i have also modified the exhaust,there was a smaller diameter pipe inside the outer pipe which i have removed and i have fitted a universal slashcut muffler,could the exhaust be the problem for it not running at full throttle? i was hoping to get a bit more perfomance,have i gone to far with the exhaust!i will put a standard one back on if i have to but they look so bloody ugly,please help,its my first project and its gone pretty well other than this

  4. hi kevinsr125 and oldgitonbike,thanks for your help,i"ve got a haynes manual coming next week,going to have a good read of that,im new to biking,but i"ve got the bug!!!!! pretty mechanically minded,so im going to have a go at sorting a few bits to the engine,eg.valve clearanses,the bike runs pretty good for its millage 30,500,but last owner has"nt looked after it,gave it a really deep clean,took wheels off and got em" sparkling!! took me 3 days,lots of rusty spokes!!! i was thinking of fitting a power air filter,would it make a difference and would the carb need adjusting,
