Great pics Druid cheers

OK these are some pics that are on my camera phone clearly showing that my bike doesn't have that bit of rubber





Why is this rubber so important ?

I have checked Lings and David Silver Spares and neither stock this part online so where can I get one ?

Not sure on snorkel yet will confirm tomorrow

David silver spares don't have a full list as they only list 'stock' items, they will order in anything else.

Put in the part number or phone them up.

Where are the rest of your carbs??? That little rubber flap restrict the air flow to allow the correct amount of air get to the bike. It's a well documented fact that runing without that little rubber flap will cause all sorts of running issues.

Try and source one from e-Bay or ABRmoto, Graeme France (FranceandLiAsiaTrading), Rick Oliver or even a wanted post in the For Sale section.

Ahh rest of me carbs are taken off I was curious and having a look trying to take em off to give em a good clean but only got that far because I couldnt find the front two screws for the inlet rubbers

Thanks again mate for the sources I'll check em out

Getting the flap and snorkle may no solve your problems, like i said my rvf runs without them but has been setup like that. Was the bike runnng when you brought it? just seems strange that its been removed if the guy before you had been using it as a trackbike but then again he may have been having the same problems as you and couldnt work it out so sold it on.

I have only had a couple of goes on the RVF since I got it and yeah this is how its always run, lots of tell tail signs of it being a track bike though

Sure it's actually a track bike and not just been used on track? I mean my wifes NC35 has been on track (and crashed twice too *ahem*) but is very much a road bike.

Ahh I think just been used on track rather than track bike

Trouble with such stonking handling little bikes is that they are *so* much fun to take on track that you're getting lucky now to find one that hasn't seen at least one trackday.

Not that I would worry about it, condition is everything and TBH personally I'd prefer a pampered track toy to a superficially shiny bike, reason being is the owner of the track toy will have worried about everything being mechanically sound, the shiny bike owner just worries about it looking good...

I have just put a factory pro jet kit in mt NC30. It is not running right yet, to rich I think according to the info on the Factory Pro website. Woundering if I shrould have stayed with the stock set up.

Has anyone used the Factory Pro Kit? What jet size and needle settings did you use? Did they improve performance?
