Interesting! I must have been lucky so far to never run across a bike that needed it lol. On my bikes I usually replace or clean the filter as soon as it has any visible buildup on it. Which is usually after one ride if it's dusty at all. Anyway the slide in it looks like new, I cant even see any scratches in it and definitely not any that you can feel. Same with the needle, appears new

I have not heard of replacing the slide as a wear part before. What is the reason for this? Does it actually wear out and let air through? I find it hard to believe the metal slide would wear out before the cast aluminum carb body, or even wear at all considering is constantly covered in oily fuel. Obviously I'm missing something here

Yes correct, the slide is designed to wear out before the carb itself. The slide is made of Zinc Alloy, which wears out before the alum carb body. It usually takes alot of hours to wear a slide out, but it also depends on the maintence on the bike. If someone is bad at replacing air filters, etc. Or rides...

Give your slide a good look. If there is any wear, marks, etc. Replace it with a new one. Possibly your needle as well. Consider both of these pieces wear out parts.

All the mods you did really increase the bottom end of that bike, except flywheel weight. I'd go back to stock reeds (or boyesen reeds in stock cage) and go with a longer silencer, I run the turbinecore 2 on mine and love it for track and trails, or powercore 2. Also, do the power valve mod to make the...

There's more than just tracks out here to ride on. From San Clemente you're 2 hours from Ocotillo Wells, and about the same for Big Bear.

I have an older version of this bike, 2014. I have my forks about 1mm under flush, 105-107mm rear sag depending on the track. Rear wheel as far back in the sider as the chain will allow. This bikes the bike nice and stable at speed. But with this set up it really likes you to be over the gas...

Chat GPT, re-write this in a more understandable format: I hope everyone gets their belongings back, but having a court case doesn't guarantee that you will. Unfortunately, our legal system isn't particularly favorable to victims. I was a crime victim myself. The criminals claimed they were addicted to drugs and suffered from anxiety, which the lenient judge sympathized with. The judge suggested I hire an attorney for restitution, but that's a tall order for a truck driver like me who can't afford the $15,000 fee. There's only one attorney in this small town who handles these cases, and he refused...

You both need to run a longer fuel line to start. Get a better fuel line, one that is thicker and will hold shape better. Also, Either run a longer fuel line and do a loop to get the kink out, or go to a hardware store and get a small spring to insert into the fuel line to hold...

I get Steves point but he was pretty bad at explaining his stance. There is definitely something not positive about creating a landscape where you try to gain fans on the basis of your birth place compared to your main competitors. Especially when every single event/race is in said country. You can't compare this situation to for an example F1 where they race in what, 20 different countries? There is nothing wrong with being patriotic. But when you try to use it against your competitors it gets dirty and it's not a road i would use. Imagine if the Lawrences...

You must be new to the Internet. It’s a wild and magical place that has a long and storied tradition of allowing people to express disdain and malcontent for no good reason.

Plug and Play. But buy new copper washers for the head bolts, and inner rings for the head. Might as well change those if you are changing the head.
