Post by code2006 » Sat Oct 02, 2010 11:14 am

hi guys i just changed my jets on my rvf and now i want to drill the slides useing a 2.5mm drill and put an extra washer 0.5mm on the needle but i can't figure it out how to take the needle off the slide
also i read somewere that its not recommended to drill the slides ?
also im following cammos diy guide and im not sure if i should adjust the pilot to two and a quarter turns out or 1 and 5/8th i think
my rvf is standard except i have a tyga carbon twin can full exhaust system

Well..

Don't do it. The drilling etc is for NC30 carbs only.

Stop fiddling dude... :o

well thats wot i thought but i couldnt figure out how to take the needle off the slider to put an extra washer
just re fitted the carbs and pannels and i forgot to turn the screw under the carbs that emptys the petrol out so i have to take the carbs off the bike again :x :x
will take the carbs off 2moro but it would be nice if there was some info about removing the needle
on the nc30 carbs theres a screw but i dont think there was a screw on mine :?

IIRC you remove the needle the same way as you do 30 carbs, philips screw driver inside the slide then twist. Im sure theres pics in the haynes manual. I always go up a jet size too if using a can or system. DONT drill the slides. 30 & 35 carbs are different beasts and using the 30 guide to mod your 35 carbs is going to end in tears.
