Hopefully wiredgeorge will listen and help with the carburetor adjustments. No power below 6k rpm it just bogs down and stumbbles a little up high. It just doesn't sing like it used to...

Cool!

Well done.

Cotton is right. That Kaw just doesn not sound right. Even when reved up high it didn't sound like it was running correctly. Have you been on another big Kaw before. Just wondering if you have anything to compare it to. Hard to say what is wrong just going from the video but I think everyone will agree that it does need some attention.

That is the bike I destroyed last year. It ran a lot better before the accident. WG did the carbs and when he gets back I'll get him to listen and his thoughts. The bike pulls hard above 6K rpm. Just as I mentioned in my original post it sounds a little flat.

Even above 6000 rpm it didn't sound right. I assume you had it over 6000 in the video. Just doesn't scream like it should and also sounds a little funny coming off throttle.

As long as I kept my legs closed up on the pods it would smooth out. But when I would take my legs away from the pods it would bog down and stumble.

Just an observation while riding.

Sorry, but it was either the gauges or the track. I thought the video of the track would be better than the gauges..LOL

The highest revs was 9500 rpm and top speed was around 110 on the front straight.

hope that helps..
