Hi @ folks,
just a few statements to the "shooting discussion" ... :-))
A possible way to check to correct fuel mixture is the following: drive to a
car dealer next to you and ask him to measure the exhaust gases. What he
does is the following:
He puts a "sensor" into your exhaust (looks like a hose).
Then the values of your gases (your bike's,not yours...) are displayed on a
monitor nearby.
By opening the throttle, you can check them also at higher rpm's.
A friend of mine told me the following: it is much more better to be on the
rich side because you lucrate a bit more power with that - on the other
hand, the fuel consumption raises...
You can test this the following way: dismount the airbox and close ONE pane
of the original air intake with some pieces of old clothes. (If you find a
better way to do this, feel free to try it ... :-)) ). Now your engine
definitely gets too less air - so it has to be to rich. Therefore, your @
should have some extra horses now!
I have to state, that I didn't try out what I described above - because of
the following:
I drilled up my airbox on the left and right side (take a look at Raymonds
HP), and I totally closed the original air intake - because my @ got air
from the extra holes.
The only thing you risc by trying this is to use some extra liters of petrol...
greetings,
Achim Muehlberger
