dyno kit

[steveo]

can someone please tell me what a dinno kits is, because hayballs in salisbury has said my bike has got one on it and i have no idea what that is. they said my carbs need timeing and that the dinno kit is runny way to ritch and that is why the bike ticks over at 4000rpm and not at what its ment to.

A Dynojet kit is a set of carb jets and needles to optimise the carburation on a particular bike - often fitted when a bike has non-standard exhaust and/or air filter.

Carb balancing is basically what it says on the tin - adjusting the butterflies (or slides) so that they're all set at exactly the same point and open the same amount when the throttle's closed - it's quite easy to do (certainly on ZXR Kawasakis) and will help the bike idle much more evenly (best done after valve clearances have all been set too) - has some effect on very small throttle openings, but none on larger ones.
Sounds like the bike needs to go to someone who can set the carbs up, ideally on a rolling road.
Lesson to be learned here Steve - next time you buy a bike, take along someone who knows what they're looking at - they might have advised you to walk away from this one and saved you a whole heap of time and money. Calling this one a hound would be more than complimentary! ::)
