First ride... Not quite a tragedy...
Having somewhat recovered, I went out on the V-Raptor today to get some oil - I intend to use fully synthetic to help the cooling as well as the lubing of the engine and FS oil has definite benefits. I went in to Grantham and returned with a trip along the Great North Road in order to see how it ran... Quite badly was the answer! It ran very lean and hot - so that confirms that it is running lean and it wouldn't top 80kph.
I had a reply from Skyteam about the jets used and their man Charlie said that main is 110 and pilot is 50 in the latest models! so probably mine has different jets as it's a couple of years old. I need to strip the jets out to see what are in it and go from there. Let's hope they are marked. Other than that, I enjoyed the brief ride and will post some photos asap of the carb and the bike.
