My lady is getting on me cause she wants her BIGRED to run a little better and smoother. First off what carb changes have you done? Our's has a Cobra pipe and a Uni airfilter with stock airbox and lid. I am thinking of taking the airbox out and using a clamp-to-the-carb K&N filter. Anyone done this? It has some hesitation if you nail the throttle off idle, I think it may need some needle and main jet adjustment. Also, I just installed a new clutch and it seems kinda hard to shift. I played with the 'freeplay' adjustment thingy and it really doesn't change things much. I used 10% heavier springs than stock...I'm sure the old ones were worn so it's now probaly 20% stiffer than it was before. Is this the extra stiffness I am feeling? Has anyone changed the carb all together? Thanks to all for the good info.
