Alright coolDrunkn Munky wrote: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.code2006 wrote:well thats wot i thought but i couldnt figure out how to take the needle off the slider to put an extra washerDrunkn Munky wrote:For what its worth ive always found a extra 0.5mm washer and hrc slide springs work a treat on rvf carbs to sort out the midrange on engines with standard tune.
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![]()

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
Will have a look in my haynes manual
Took carbs off and done up the screws, fired up the bike and it sounds a lot better :)
Lucky I can take the slides off while the carbs r on the bike
Thanks for your reply

Re: rvf carb service
You use a bolt in the slide cover to draw it out (it's held in place by an o-ring), a bolt from one of the slide covers is the right size.

Bigger main jets could be good for the Tyga system (112 might be ok); have a look in their site, I think there's some reference to jetting the RVF on there; a quick check on the floats heights is also a good idea when you next get the carbs off, as well as a clean up.

U mean the tyga site ? Most ppl on this forum recommend 112's so I will stick with them.Speedy wrote:Cammo wrote:You use a bolt in the slide cover to draw it out (it's held in place by an o-ring), a bolt from one of the slide covers is the right size.![]()

The carbs were clean inside compare to the set of carbs that came with the bike lol
