re carb and cam tuning for the rt
Posted: Sun Jul 24, 2005 5:38 pmHi folks, at long last i have tuned both the cam timing and the carb using the Kano motorsports tuning kit I got.
First things, i blew the head gasket due to a 150 kit that had a faulty sleeve. Apparently there has been an issue with this. The sleeve isnt quite seated correctly and rocks ever so slightly causing gaskets to blow and coolant to leak into the engine.
Anyway so I am awaiting another kit but due to long delivery time I needed to get back on the road so put my 125 block and pistonback on. However this time i advanced the timing using the cam kit and then changed the main jet to a larger one whilst removing the airbox snorkel. After dialing it all in properly the bike runs better than it did with the 150 kit. It now has real grunt power and i am loving it.
Anyway if you have the basic know how I would highly recommend the kit fromhttp://www.ksportmotorcycles.com/
