  1. Sometimes, you just got to know! "...and knowing is half the battle!" I've had bad experiences with name brand levers too. eg. motion pro, brake master  I'm sure some were my fault and some may have been manufacturer differences and quality control.

    None of the aftermarket stuff for old bikes is being made in USA, Japan, Germany, or UK. So, I had to check them for myself. There are some top quality stuff being made that will fit for top prices by bigger name brands. Just have to cross reference fitment. Like I believe some of the SV's fit our bikes.

  2. I have a Bandit 400 with FCR carbs. It has a super hard time with starting when the motor is cold. Once I practically kill the battery and it starts; then it's okay when the motor is warm. Here is a video of it finally starting and warmed up. Where should I focus my attention for cold starting adjustments? The video has a description of current settings and I have a video series of 6 different attempts to tune the carbs. I usually focus on the air jet on the air box side of the carb and fuel mix on the bottom of the carb.

     

  3. I'm sure most of you know the early R1 throttle tube will drop straight in to your oem housing and give you a quixker turn throttle, Motion pro will also make you a Rev-2  throttle kit for your oem cv carbs or any after market carbs.  I previously had done the R1 conversion and now switched over to the Rev-2. Motion Pro was really good with communication and getting the product to me. They sell replacement cables for the oem cv carbs, so I'm sure it would be very easy for them to match up an existing kit. The following are some pics from another post I used as a "how to..." and saved on Pinterest.
