Valve clearances checked,as per MFolks?

And how did you clean/rebuild the carbs, a little more detail there. Did you take the floats off 6 times without breaking a tang? Impressive. Or I am just not that lucky?!

And as Antiq said, are you running the stock airbox? Those boots must have been replaced sometime, or you would be cursing the very day they were invented time and time again.

My mechanic lets me sit in on my bike work. I redid the carbs twice and it ran good: he tsked me and spent two hours polishing and cleaning and it was amazing the difference.

Have you really pulled the floats off 6 times??!!
