Vapour blasting is the one revelation I've took from this spruce up!

New Screen, Mirrors, plus new bolts and rubbers for top fairing mount, i found some Fast Bike grips from the 90's, not sure about those though!

Well she's finished, I'm putting her on the rollers tomorrow, it rides sooo much better thanks to all the mods, revs harder and faster, brakes and suspension/tyres totally transformed the handling.

There's a Dyno in Meriden, next village along from me, it made 54bhp when I first bought it pre strip, I'm hoping for 60ish..

It is actually an eBay screen, I fitted it but had to use a hot air gun to relieve the curve to the fairing shape.

Awesome. I've never ridden a 2 Stroke as I only started riding bikes in 2009. How much does one of these go for nowadays??
Good ones if UK with good service history around £6000.

Done the jetting, leaner on the top richer on the bottom, a misfire manifested itself, faulty cap so renewed all plugs and caps, she's a little flyer now!

250/260 with a pipercross race filter, went from 1.1 to 1.0 on the pilot air jets to richen up the bottom, much smoother pulling away, suspect it has a kit SAPC as it has marker pen writing on it, that is kit code, but unless I get it tested I won't ever know. Standard carbs for a UK bike.

Kit SAPC curves aren't that different as it only affects the pv curve, air solenoid pcm and ignition timing and usually that's only by a few degrees at the top.
Speak to Sean at the Tuning Works and he might be able to tell you which unit you have.
Also there's a ton of different SAPC's for different countries models and the usual JDM restricted versions so it might not be a kit version after all. There's also a few different kit versions so who knows. But if it is the full avgas and Sugaya pipe version you'd know ??
Regards the jetting the mains seem in the ballpark but check if the carbs have the supplementary power jet. Easy to see as it's a tube that comes out of the float bowl and runs up the side of the carb body then goes back in at a point just below the slide bottom when it's in the fully raised position.
If you have these check the jet values as fitted in the float bowl. Should be a 54 and a 30 something. If these are wrong you are very likely to have a seizure at prolonged wot. Ask my titanium left wrist how I know this ??
Also check if you have both of the air solenoid circuits connected as these have a massive impact on the overall jetting as they allow secondary air into the carb to weaken the mixture at various rpm and tps points. Many people disconnect the low end valve to stabilise the bottom end jetting.
It'll be fine.
