Re: torque needed tv 3
been scratching my head about this,so here we go i am presuming its got a tv175 box in it as its a muggy 185 with standard sprockets the final drive ratio is 4.84 to 1 and with a larger rear spocket of 47 teeth the ration changes to 4.91 to one. i do belive the higher ratio gives lower top speed and...

Re: torque needed tv 3
forget what i said about the 46 tooth basket, i think thats the standard one, so your 47 is better, a smaller front spocket would increase your pulling power and lower your top speed a bit, a clubman should improve tourque, but im not sure it would be a good match as you have bridged ports, i know t...

Re: Plug chop and plug colour help please
hi, i would say that your running very weak, either jetting is too small, or an air leak, or fuel starvation caused by fuel tap, what does it ride like, do the revs take ages to die down when you close the throttle ?

Re: rear hub removal problem

Re: water cooled twin
