    Bike would stall and be jumpy at slow speeds so had to get bigger carb to make it predictable in traffic

    A bigger carb wont make the bike more predictable in traffic, bigger carbs are for more top end with the sacrifice of bottom end torque......

    It would pull of but i had to pull in clutch and feed it if i over rev it stalled i road my lf 125 for a year without stalling but this bike could cut out when clutch was out and power on. Tighten clutch cable ran a leaner mixture that helped but uninspected stalls could have killed me on crossroads bike also droped speed 5th at 80 mph then in 6th droped down to 60mph never pulled up when in 6th at 60 very fast hoped new carb would stop me putting every one at risk behind me. I do drive slowly and safely but would also like to pass trucks not have lines of them build up behind me blasting past my 55mph on a419 on way to mums

    Piston rings are due for a change thats all iv been told to do for a top end rebuild would have got piston and cylinder but should do bottom end at same time to keep it even on servie will do com. Test thanks forgot about asking for one of them.
