re:pads

thanks for the recommendation. Do the EBC HH pads wear the disks quickly or is that something I should just expect from more powerful pads? <br><br>ade <p></p><i></i>

noise

Is it a fast clicking noise? Mine sometimes does this under certain conditions, I think its just the fuel pump. <p></p><i></i>

throttle adaption

If you wanted to try the first one, well its possible to get motocross twist grips that are for different ratios, (quarter or third turn I think). Also I seem to remember my RGV250 had a wierd link box with a pulley so that the throttle cable not only actuated the 2 carbs, but also did the oil pump ...

throttle

tuning the head

cheers, so what kind of gain can be got by dialling in the cams and basic cleaning up of the ports?<br><br>You mentioned the jetting, my bike was running a bit rich, probably because it had a dirty stock air filter but its pulling really cleanly from low revs. <br><br>Is the DynoJet kit any good?

cam timing

Whats a DTI?<br><br>I thought you could perhaps measure the diameter of the cam around its narrowest point (its base circle??)and subtract that from the cam "diameter" between the tip of the lobe and the circular part ? This would surely give the amount of lift generated by the lobe?<br><br>So if yo...
