Check the pilot screw on the carb (unless it's sealed). It adjusts the fuel mixture. Maybe when you took the carb apart, you changed its position.

Thanks for your input! I'm by no means an expert, but i enjoy working on my own on the bike. I'm learning by doing. I've fiddled with the pilot screw before, after a mechanic (!) messed it up. And...

Thanks for your reply. Do you think it would be possible that the simple fact that it's gotten a lot warmer outside be causing some sort of change in the way the bike runs? I mean, are these carbs so...

What causes mixture to change suddenly?

Hi everyone!

Any idea what could cause my bike to suddenly behave like it's running lean and too hot? I haven't touched the pilot screw in over a year and it's been running great.
The only thing...

Yet another (big) oil leak - what to do?

Hi guys. I was riding today and during a stop I notices the engine block was dirty and oily. So I wiped it off and kept riding and saw oil bleeding out through that gasket. I happens mostly at high...

Re: Brake pads shape

Sorry for being completely retarded. I took the caliper off the bike, and what do you know? The pads were what everyone's been telling me they should be. Dunno why I saw them as something else when...

Re: Brake pads shape

I will do that, but just by doing a google image search i can tell that my caliper is genuine, and so are the pads.. I just don't understand if more than one pad shape fits in that caliper, or if...

Brake pads shape

Hi all!

I'm in need of a brake pad change, so I went to a local parts store and they said I need a type which differs in shape compared to the ones I have right now. I'm confused. Even searching...

Re: Strange leak at cylinder top

Cleaned it up a little and it seems that it's coming from the exhaust flange. However, it's not oozing or spitting all the time. I'll put some wd-40 on those rusty screws and see if they budge. I'm a...

Re: Strange leak at cylinder top

Thank you for your replies! The bike is from 2004 with about 20.000 km on it. Could this leak be related to the fact that I adjusted the fuel-air mixture the day before?
The pilot screw was only one...

Hey guys. Found this after a long ride today. Any idea what it is and why it's leaking? From what I can tell there are no real gaskets up there. Only silicone ones. Bike runs absolutely fine by the...

Re: Normal to have slack at the rear sprocket?

Would changing that rubber thing in the hub be an easy task? I have a feeling mine is all but gone judging from the play of the sprocket.

Re: Overheating causes high idle, normal?

I'm quite sure it's the mixture that's causing this. But I'm simply afraid to do something about it. :) For one, it's an incredibly tight space to turn a tiny screwdriver when everything around your...

Re: engine noise

Mine sounds pretty much the same. And I too was worried about the noise and have been to several mechanics. Bottom line was that it's just a loud engine.
I have this rule now: If I hear a noise and...

Thanks Raul! I suspected something was off with my pilot screw. I was afraid to mess with it so I wouldn't make it even worse.

Re: Overheating causes high idle, normal?

It doesn't. It's not the throttle cable being too short or anything. It's definitely related to the engine temperature. Or perhaps the carb becomes somewhat hot and that affects the mixture. But i...

Re: Where to order parts from? Please help!

It's present all the time. I usually listen to it while stationary that's why I didn't catch this earlier. So basically whenever I pull the clutch (riding or stationary / in gear on in neutral) the...

Re: Where to order parts from? Please help!

It is a barely noticeable constant clunking. More noticeable at idle or low rpm, and a bit louder when it's cold. And it's not the valves. I fixed that. I'll know more on Monday when I see this other...
