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
Hi, may i ask:<br><br>have you got some movement in your wrist?<br>-if so it might be possible to convert it so that a smaller twistgrip movement has a much greater movement at the carb's butterfly valves. there are a couple of ways this could be done.<br><br>also:<br>Could you use a left-handed twi...

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?

tuning the head
ok, so if Im going to take the engine apart, what things can I do to improve the torque and power?<br><br>1) clean up the intake and exhaust ports with a dremmel<br>2) fit new valve oil seals<br>3) lap the valves into the head with some paste<br>4) Swap the cams for EXUP or FZR750 items which have m...

raising compression/skimming the head
Anyone know how much I can skim the head and top of the block in order to get the last few HP ??<br><br>I dont want to take it too far so that Id need to run on AvGas, but there must be some reasonable amount like 20 thou' that can be safely removed ?<br><br>Im pretty certain that such a small amoun...

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...
