Subject: Idle-Speed problems


Hi Atic's,

I have increased the power of my baby from 50 to 60 PS by changing these
unbelievable expensive rubber parts. The result: total satisfaction! I
couldn't believe that increasing the power by 10 PS results in so much
fun...
If anybody else wants to do this: it is much cheaper just to remove the
plates in the ducts between the carburettor and the cylinder-head than
buying these rubber ducts.
But, nothing is perfect: I do have a problem with the idle-speed of my
baby. With 50 PS, the idle speed didn't vary at all. Now, the idle-speed
varies from 1100 rpm to 1500 rpm max. from stop to stop. It's not that
the idle speed is running up and down while waiting in front of a
traffic light, but it changes from one traffic light to the next. Can
anybody tell me whether this is normal or is something wrong? I've
synchronised the carburettors, the valve clearance is ok, no leakage
problems at the ducts but I have noticed that the connecting part to the
vent-hoses of the air cleaner box isn't really fixed, so leakage may
occur here.


Ciao,
Holger

P.S.: A few days ago I wrote that one of my friends (the unlucky one,
crashing his bike without these bars) wanted to sell his MOTAD
crashbars. These bars are sold, really!!! Thank you for all your mails,
but I'm not a dealer, I just had one set...
