If it's that flat on throttle, then your really have to pre-test by raising the needles. As it's is very easy to stick a motor when lean in the midrange, especially on a dyno. So that needs to be done first.

So here I'm thinking it's another goof ball who buys a fast motor and is clueless.
My appologies! A hand made frame and tank, USD forks, etc.?
What the story Cabbie; what a stunner; well done.
Sounded fat to me from the video but hard to tell with a very ported motor, barely reving, vide camera, etc.
Based on what Chris and Gary had been building for race motors, you should be able to stand that thing on the taillight when sorted (with a slick).

Nice bike Cabbie but I really like your H2, stunning bike. As for the reed setup you have, it was developed originally by LRE, I didn't have much to do with it other than run it when it was finished. FWIW, I have about five sets of these reed boxes that were part of the last run Chris made last year.

And I am clueless when it comes to Mikukis, sorry but I wouldn't be able to give you a good starting point. You might visit with Redline and see if they have a baseline setting for them.

Thanks Bill, sent Redline a message to see if they can help with basic jet set up, I'm sure Mark will get it dialed in ok I just wanted to get it sort of close thats all.

cabbie the engine was built by me based on FBG stage 3 and thats how i ran it for 1 season i believe it had a lock up clutch on it when u got it from me ? i ran lectron 40mm carbs on it i know what the settings are for those BUT chris converted it reeds for you and then you are running 38mm flatsides so i am afraid its a suckit and see situation , also not sure what pipes you have ? i cant even give you a ballpark area to start

all i can say is when you get it dialled in its gonna be bloody fast mate what does it wiegh 290lbs ?
