NC30 nasty flat spot!

Post by ibby4585 » Tue Jul 20, 2010 11:15 pm

Right been out tonight for another good ride! But the last two times ive been ou ive encountered a problem. Same thing has happened twice. Whilst im going full tilt in 6th at around 9 to 10 k revs i have a huge flat spot!! its obviously really noticeable as your riding quite fast. when i pick up the speed slowly its less noticeable!

Im running a ignitech cdi plus 2 standard map, RO road needles ,120 dynojets all round, drilled slides, a full Ethos system with Mercury twin stack!! any ideas?? only thing i can think of is upping the jets to 122's

any advice would be appreciated!!

Kris

Yeah, sounds lean. If it's that noticeable I would go for 124's.

What sort of filter are you using??

Its a standard filter , was thinking of upping to 122;s when i first set it up, but you reckon 124's?

My money would be on your carb rubbers not sealed properly.

If the leanness is that noticeable it needs quite a change in jet size, hence not much point in trying 1 size extra (122's) I would say go a bit further, it certainly won't hurt anything (power or economy etc).

I use 124's on my roadbike, standard filter, slight induction changes and it pulls like a train. Lower jet sizes were too lean. General info would say fit something smaller, but they were too lean. The mystery of the nc30...

Definately not the carb rubbers!


Ive just ordered a set of 124's dynojets to try.
